Sally Norvell singing "Oh Bondage Up Yours!" on her punk stage debut as captured by Will Van Overbook back in 1978 in Austin, Texas, with Cold Sweat, a band that led to the Norvells.
Sally Norvell is an actor, director, writer and producer and most Wim Wenders fans may remember her appearance in "Paris, Texas" (1984) as 'Nurse Bibs' on a rubber horse behind the mirror of the peep show but her curriculum vitae also lists her as a frontwoaman who was central to Austin's punk history right from its inception. Having been one of the early punk rebels that attended the San Antonio show of the Sex Pistols (a game-changing moment for Austin's scene which basically sparked out of conversations between future pioneers in cars heading back to Austin from Randy's Rodeo in the wee hours of Jan. 9, 1978) and also having one of the best female punk voices according to the revered historian of Austin's music scene Margaret Moser, she fronted various bands who all shared members and gigs as an entwined entity, starting with Cold Sweat -who actually opened for The Huns during the notorious Raul's gig that turned into a riot after their singer Phil Tolstead kissed a cop on the lips-as well as The Violators, if I'm not mistaken, and followed by Motor Men, The Gator Family and The Norvells.
An important musical figure in her own right by this point, she spent the '80s leading the revisionist-swing combo Prohibition (also featuring members of Scratch Acid, Poison 13, and Glass Eye) and the '90s in the Congo Norvell, a long-lived partnership with Kid Congo Powers.

Gentle reminder to take care of yerselves
This is my design for the photo emulsion screen printing method. The morning was taken up with learning about the technique and doing a demo piece with rubylith, acetate, mylar, and black paper.
After lunch I got my design planned, the screen covered with emulsion and dried, made a good paper copy of the design with India ink and sharpie, tracked down the studio tech and got her to photocopy the design onto acetate, and did the exposure on the vacuum light table (fancy) and washed the screen.
The screen is drying and I maybe could have started printing in the evening studio time but I have no regrets about going to the free pizza and open mic night. Slight regrets about forgetting my contraband pizza slices in the studio.
Mild regrets about taking the advice of the drawing and painting people of adding more decoration to the line that was supposed to be the question mark after GREAT ART. The question mark is now a bit lost in the curlicues. But I could maybe paint it a contrasting colour after screen printing it?
ALSO this is the flat design. My vision for the finished product is a pop-up flip book sort of idea (hard to communicate in words but I can picture it in my head and am confident I can make it work materially). So the NOT GREAT, BOB bit would be hidden, folded behind the question mark panel. And then you pull the pull tab (which I intend to make the dot of the question mark), and it flips up to change the GREAT ART to NOT GREAT, BOB!
Fingers crossed that it prints well! I'm planning out how to print it in every colour of the rainbow. And scheming to get it into the campus store/ art gallery. The design is the size of a regular sheet of copy paper, so potentially jacket patches? Bags? Tea towels? T-shirts??
What do the people want, and how much are they willing to pay for it.
