Calling all Texas Artists: Parts and Labour Mural Contest

This coming February, Parts and Labour, the South Congress boutique that sells all things made in Texas, is moving to a new larger location. The store will remain in the city's retail ground zero and is moving into the old Ace tailoring building just across the street and down the block from its current location. In the mean time, store owners are looking to spruce up the new/old building a bit and have announced a mural contest. The rules, as follows, are simple:

- Submitting artists must live in Texas
- No armadillos
- No lonestars
- No silhouettes of the capitol or of Texas
- No guitars
- Seriously

The submission deadline is December 31st and submissions should be emailed, as jpegs, to: partsandlabourtx(@)gmail.com

The winning artist will receive, not only a big freakin' mural of their original work on South Congress, but also a three month in-store residency and a reveal party when the mural is complete. Start sketching now... we think our idea for a longhorn with cowboy boots and a hat standing in a field of bluebonnets has a pretty good chance of making it to the final cut!
