SCREW PERK (Part 1)
The then-reigning porn queen Seka gave Screw editor Gil Reavill two sets of her used panties; he felt I, as Art Director, should have the less used of the two. They were a hot item then (so to speak). I assume that aging has only increased their value. What am I bid? (Click the thumb.)
ARTIFACTS: Dad UGLY ART
Sometime in the early 80s Ken Wiener (now better off known as Ken Avidor), J.D. King and Peter Bagge pulled off an actual gallery show of Ugly Art. THESE are the home-made buttons manufactured to promote it. What am I bid?

ARTIFACTS: Dad QUESTIONABLE MARKETING ANGLE (Part 2)

It's hard to believe they didn't see it. (Click the thumb.)
ARTIFACTS: Dad STOUSE GLEANING (Part 1)
This is a sticker I picked up at my place of employment, which happens to be a sticker factory. As you will see, it might just be a matter of pronunciation. (I'll bet the people who live there prefer to call it "Mee-ah-nuss.") (Click the thumb.)
