Ink Slingas Ball
Friday May 16 from 6:00pm to 11:00pm
Saturday May 17 from Noon to 6:00 pm

You are most cordially invited to the Ink Slingas Ball. The Amazing Hancock Brothers in cahoots with the nascent Creative Workers Union have assembled today's freshest printmakers -- ink slingas as it were -- for a 2-day art ordeal corralled under one roof.

These are the Ink Slingas, the dirty divas of the deckle edge, outlaw printmakers, and the acid-etched bringers of ink-driven mayhem.......no where on Earth has this level of talent and excitement been assembled......ONLY IN AUSTIN.....quite frankly because you demand it.

But wait dear friend there is oh so much more.

There will be live printing demos by: Industry Print Studios & Drive-By Press.

There will be music -- DJed and LIVE! DJ Chepo and HUG along with the famed HUG dancers have committed to this art scrum for Friday night. The Amazing Hancock Brothers - who take poetry to the next level with their own peculiar spoken word performance -- will be in attendance as well. Stay tuned we are also in delicate negotiations with another band for Saturday.

Yes oh yes my brothers and sisters - PRINTS WILL BE ON SALE FOR $50 AND LESS (the vast majority of them that is).

AND WE GOT MERCH:
t-shirts!
coozies!
patches and pins!
other strange and wonderful ephemera for sale!

Buy your Christmas/Hanukah /Kwanza/Ramadan/Arbor Day gifts now!
