sssssilkscreen saturday - owl of my children
da press release:
hey!
this saturday HBML radical junk shoppe / fake gallery / noise universe will be hosting one of it’s acclaimed silk screening events WHEREIN you, a participant, bring in a garment, flag, or burial shroud, and we apply directly and permanently an image of our predetermined choice WHILE U WAIT. this saturday from 2 to 5, the image is going to be a massive drawing of an owl.viewed as an emblem of knowledge and erudition, also a harbinger of death, the owl is the mascot of grey-eyed athena, warrior goddess of philosophy, strategy, and metal work, and inventor of the olive. i have no idea why, but people ask all the time whether we sell anything with owls on it, outshining by orders of magnitude the next most
popular requests, which are in order: jesus, popeye, tweety bird. there’s a thoreau quote on the popularity of owls… let’s see… “Let them do the idiotic and maniacal hooting for men. It is a sound admirably suited to swamps and twilight woods which no day illustrates, suggesting a vast and underdeveloped nature which [humanity] has not recognized”. i guess that goes for jesus, popeye, and tweety bird as well.anyway, it’s this saturday (the 30th) from 2 to 5, it costs $5 per print. if you don’t want the owl screened on a clothing item, we can screen a massive sticker for you, big enough to really piss someone off. we’re also having a massive clothing sale, most items $1 minimum donation. there will also be free coffee.
HBML is at 420 pleasant st worcester ma 01609
famous painter and interior decorator gary panter raves “[HBML] sounds neat!”
acclaimed 21st century novelist dave eggers says “[HBML] [is] OK.”directions can be given from the shop to the super-delicious verycheap bootleg vegan chinese underground (shadow economy) restaurant DUCK YAO.
if you’ve been meaning to come to the shoppe, now’s a great time, as we totally don’t have any money, or anyway not enough for next month’s rent, not nearly. please, tell your pals!
also, in re: the cosby show idea, we have put filming on hold until october, when it’s do or die and we have to finish for sure, before november’s scheduled “JFK days”.
not a lie from my mouth

hbml.orgps- saturday’s design will also feature jesus, popeye, and tweety bird, but really tiny.
oh yah, and we’re doing two screens- one with black ink, one with white ink, so bring whatever the hell color damn shirt you f-word want!
Dear Jacob,
Hi! I really wish that I could come to Worcester this Saturday and get a giant owl put on something I own. Sadly, I will be moving all my earthly possessions from one location to another on that day. Is there any way that you could put a giant owl on a T-shirt, oh, say, I don’t know, in a size Youth-L or something like that? I would be willing to trade United States currency or artwork for said T-Shirt with a giant owl on it. What do you think of this proposition? You can reject it, accept it, or perhaps make a counter offer. Please respond, I really like owls.
With Affection,
Beck
[…] an easier grade of street than i had anticipated being on. which is to say, this saturday (another silk screen day) is still make or break, but the break-line is far lower. uh, still, come on down, it’s going […]
