Www

YOU’VE HEARD THE RUMORS BE FOREWARNED.

As usual, the Wowch Bros are up to no good and for a change it benefits everyone!!! WOWCHOWEEN Week is a celebratory celebration to get people jazzed on the most wowchish of all holidays—-Halloween.

On OCTOBER 21-26th, The Arm Gallery in cozy ol’ Wiliamsburg is gladly hosting this week long extravaganza that will be held in 2 distinct parts—A Wowch Pop-Up Shop and then a nightly Wowch Party featuring a different Wowch fav band each and every night.

Saturday & Sunday Oct 21-22nd 12-6pm…The Wowchoween Pop-Up Shop and a gallery covered and decorated with one of a kind original (and semi-retarded) WOWCH art work.

But wait! There’s more! Wowch sales are always a party! Expect games, cool tunes, giveaways,casual drinks, takeout food, and special guests like—-

J PENRY- Man this guy is soooo hot right now. His book of illustrations just came out on GHava Press this month. His first solo show killed it last month in the Fuse Galley over in the east village. And now I hear his drawings are showcased all over the new Halloween issue of VICE and he’s designing a snowboard for Monument!!?? Luckily he’s still cool enough to come hang out at the WOWCHOWEEN Pop-Up Shop to sign copies of his book and draw crazy caricatures of any willing particapants. I dig him cos his work reminds me of a more intense version of my grandpa doodling Dolly Parton’s profile on napkins for me as a child. Check out his blog at kountrycrafts.blogspot.com to get a peek into his mind as well as his work.

DIRTY LIBRARIAN CHAINS- Every piece in the Dirty Librarian Chains line incorporates reworked vintage costume jewelry that is hand picked from dead-stock as well as second-hand sources. The materials and components of each design constantly change based on what is available, making each piece one of a kind as well as creating a unique history that arises from the interaction of individual vintage components. Come pick up your very own necklace, bracelet or earrings for 25% off the retail price this weekend!

DL, Dirty Librarian Chains’ smaller sister line, offers the same unique vintage styling but with lightweight aluminum chains and a price tag that is significantly lower. This line is not available in stores, so come get a sneak peek during Wowch-o-ween! check dirtylibrarianchains.com for more details!!!

Dave Sander’s FUCK THIS LIFE Corner. You’ve seen his zine and shirts at the aNYthing store. You’ve heard about his wallpaper used by Neckface in his solo show. Well now we’re giving our favourite dude his own corner in the gallery to decorate however his heart desires. If you don’t know Dave, here’s his self-penned bio—

“Dave lives in the black part of Brooklyn. He likes to chill, get high, and weird shit. If you don’t like him, fuck you bitch. Die SLOW. O.G. Original Wowch benchwarmer.”
