Villainy General Store

Villainy General Store is not just a gift shop, it’s an “old timey” general store, but with a twist to meet the needs of the industrious urbanite.

What gives with the name Villainy?

In this world where faceless corporations are supposed to be the "good guys," we have decided to be the anti-heroes, the "villains" -if you will. We're happy to don the cape, hat and moustache. And not just because it looks much better than a red and blue unitard (although, that's a part of it) but because we're the under dog, the little guys, we're your "mom & pop store." We're happy to stand up for our neighborhood and be counted, we just don't want to be number 2.

What will we sell?

Briefly, we'll offer such items as: cast iron skillets, simple cookbooks, rolls of vintage fabrics, vintage wallpaper, various art supplies…

In addition we will also carry a few essential dry goods such as: organic coffee, tea, flour, even pan cake mix…anything we can stuff in a barrel! Old fashioned penny candy! We’ll sell working antiques such as type-writers, incandescent light-bulbs, 3-D stereoscopes, antique tools, cool old door knobs, hand cranked juicers, basic necessities...duct tape (various colors), hooks, nail and even hammers!

Everything from twine to tea-kettles to real maple syrup: unique toys and modern contraption-type gifts to hand screened tee shirts made in the back room, we will also offer our complete line of eEvil Ink Design.

"Buy Echo Park, for Echo Park."

Wait, who & what the hell is eEvil Ink Design?

We started eEvil Ink Design near the rusty shores of Silver Lake Reservoir back in 2003 selling our own brand of humorous greeting cards, tee shirts, journals and other gifts & novelties, "Trader Joe's Parking Lot Survivor" grocery bags. www.eevil.org

All of eEvil Ink Design products are based in fearless, clean design and edgy, uniquely humorous writing. For example, we make "Breakup cards," for when you breakup with somebody: black cards, white text, that’s it. No pictures, just text, “Your band sucked anyway.”

It has always been our goal to open our own, “brick & mortar” store in combination with an online store. Likes we says, Villainy General Store will not only offer eEvil Ink Design products, but other products as well, including local artists of Echo Park, The Silvered Lake, Los Feliz (The Happy) and of course, downtown LA, Boyle heights, etc...

Please contact us if you are a local artist/artisan who is interested in setting up a consignment deal, or if you have any suggestions for our store...

Thanks and
SEE YOU IN SEPTEMBER !!

THANKS EVERYONE!!

Thanks to everyone who visited our booth and more thanks to all of you who purchased our eEvil products at the UNIQUE LA show this past weekend! It was splendid to meet you all...

There are so many eEvil items to construct for you. We received a lot of good feed back from everyone, apparently everyone has a Pork Chop in their lives and also apparently, everyone knows someone who you knew was gay. These eEvil cards and posters were among our top sellers- and top requests for us to make as teed-shirts.

In NEW NEWS:

Our brand new "TRADER JOE'S PARKING LOT SURVIVOR" recycled cotton grocery bags were a big hit unto themselves as well- so much so that we very nearly sold out of those glorious bastards. BUT since it is so new, and it is not available for purchase on our website as of now, it WILL be available later this week on Amazon.com later this week when we screen more of them, so stay tuned for that action!




Again, thanks everyone, we sincerely hope you enjoyed the show as much as we did! If you haven't already, make sure you're registered with http://uniquela.com/ for upcoming shows...you will not be sorry, my friends...

Oh yeah, P and then S, we shall be making more "Ship Shirts" as well...(so glad I typed "ship" instead of something else)

Adieu, fine friends! Until we meet again...

_Your pals in eEvil

Just a reminder of who we are...

eEvil Ink Design has one foot firmly intrenched in the year 1890 and the other? The other foot is skipping around then & now.

We work on an alternative level of design from the normal cliche, for example, instead of Greeting Cards, we make Breakup Cards. Instead of Holiday Cards, we make UnHoliday Cards such as "Pray vs. Sleigh" and "Drunk Santa."

Design is in our name and we are not limited to placing them on cards. We also carry:


- JOURNALS
-TEED SHIRTS
-TOTE BAGS
-PLATE SETS
-WAX SEALS
-CALLING CARDS
-HOLY HANGOVER CANDLES
-ELBAMA CANDLES

AND we have plenty more to come...

CHECK US OUT:

Our mascot, an 18th century railroad villain/baron, best suites our style. His name eEvelyn Diddley Scott. Welcome to his world:


"I like it when things around me are steeped in trickery or tinged with eEvil Ink.... I like when people say, "ready when you are" and "me too." I never learned how to tell time. I don't believe this nonsense that the world is round. I have not washed my hands since 1983! (of political crimes)

I like strolling down to the market with my cane out-streching my striding gate as I inhale my red carnation festooned to my silky lapel.

The local fruit stand I once pilfered from as a child has new owners now and they're always happy to see me. The sun sometimes winks at my shiny shoes and the bees divide and leave me be.

My fists never appear before man, woman nor beast- only upwards to the continuing dawn of paradise lost. No single man to blame but all men disguising themselves under mankind.

Beware foe! tis true the idle fists! If taunted, they will unfurl to rope and fast swirls of entanglement 23 skidoo! For you see, in the pursuit of my well being, if you have crossed eEvilyn Diddly Scott, you may find yourself neatly cocooned to a railroad track!!

Other than that, I like kittys, lollys and balloons on a stick."

eEvil Ink's Crush on the Sublime Peoples

This is a story about how eEvil Ink Design win's the war against mediocrity at the rate of sometimes twice a day!
(a brief history)


With a tiny little dream in their tender hearts they began producing "Break-Up Cards."

But they didn't stop there.

Again they looked deep into their kind souls and began a line of cards that could reach out and bring all of humanity together. What they came up with was astounding.

They called them: "Hook-Up Cards" and they were red this time!


Minds were blown. (I said minds!)

When the seasons came upon us like, "Christmas" and "Chanukah" they decided to reach out to these folks, too.
For "Christmas" they decided to photograph one of the holiday's mascot's in a post, jovial celebration and they called it "Drunk Santa." This card is still widely cherished by many people who love to make "Ha-Ha-Ha" noises (not to mention Ho-Ho-Ho noises) depicting a sort of, "I can no longer speak because my mind has been blown."

It was the same story when they came-up with the hilarious card entitled:"Welcome to Fabulous Chanukah!" with a Las Vegas theme providing the gritty gears of this giggle factory.

On the heels of these Card Breakthroughs there lies a deeper layer to eEvil Ink Design. One that takes all of us on a magical journey of "wow!"

and

"They f^@ing make these??"

Sometimes, we must use both sayings.

JOURNALS! WOW! THEY F^@ING MAKE THESE??

YES!!

So far eEvil Ink Has started producing what they aptly call, "Blank Novellas" and they couldn't be more...blank? This is good because one needs these pages to be blank so the good people can write or draw things in them. "GENIUS!" I say.

The blank novellas are a 3 volume set. THREE! Wow!

1.) "Pleasure & Displeasure" is a fine beauty with a design inlayed in red depicting a noosed rope on it's cover. The reason for this is: it's an ideal image for hanging one's own ironic insights. It's a beautifully bound book, I assure you.

2.) "Scandalous Thoughts & Evil Deeds" is a comprehensive look at a knife as it holds still a pear. (it's a pear on it's side with a knife through it) God knows what this pear has done to deserve this sort of treatment but one thing's for sure, this isn't the first time nor the last. Since the invention of the pearing knife, it's a slippery slope for pears.

3.) "Guidebook to Misconduct" who wants to take a stab at writing this meaty novella? Well now you have your chance! This Guidebook will give you a head start. With it's golden owl on the cover, one can't go wrong. The owl is even depicted drinking from a golden cup of wisdom (or pimp cup) and he seems to be having a "Cheers!" to you as you have just purchased one of the best bound and designed journals the world has to offer.

There are so many designs under eEvil Ink Design's belt, it's almost inappropriate to look down there! If it seems like your confused by that statement...me, too!! But the excitement remains!

eEvil Ink also offers wax seal stamps (including wax) and as an option, they offer their unique designs in "peel & stick" form. That means no pesky fires and smoke!! All one simply does here is:

1.) PEEL
2.) STICK

Easy Breezy! These wax seals come in 4 unique and gifted design looks: A Heart, A Pistol, A Bomb and an old fashioned light bulb- not the new low watt one either! These designs have an old "antique-y" quality to them that matches the old wax seal look.

The best thing to do to fully understand eEvil Ink Design is to purchase these items first hand for yourself. They can be found on Amazon or their very own website:

www.eevil.org

Their own website! What will they think of..............and then design next!!!

WRITE US A REVIEW!!

Good Day to you!

We've recently launched brand new eEvil Ink Design products other than cards.

eEvil Ink Design now offers: Journals, Wax Seals, Melamine Plates and Calling Cards! (Damn! those are cards!)(but they come in a tin)

Don't worry! we're not asking you to buy them all!
(although...this gives me an idea. I'll tell you later.)

Anyway, we've placed these "items" for sale on Amazon.com but in order for them
to come-up under a decent search they need good reviews and ratings.

We're simply asking that you please go to Amazon.com and give us a good rating?? All you have to do is give us 5 stars, is that so wrong?

You can also write a blurb if you feel so inclined. Simply say, "They're great!" or "I equate this product to a pair of bees knees." or something with the phrase "cat's pajamas" in it followed by "these are a must have!" But then I suppose you'd have to admit to yourself that "cat's pajamas" are really quite useless.

Mainly, we need those stars.

Here's the link:

http://www.amazon.com/s/ref=nb_ss_b?url=search-alias%3Dstripbooks&field-keywords=eevil+ink+design&x=5&y=21

OR simply log onto Amazon and under search, type in these words:
eEvil Ink Design.

Also, feel free to buy them, that helps too! that's my idea from earlier.

Thank you.

NATIONAL STATIONERY SHOW, NYC, JAVITS CENTER BOOTH #3352

Oh, if only you could have been there!!

Shanghai'd once again!! I certainly must put an end to this poppy-cock but I must secretly say, I'm beginning to enjoy my captivity.

Allow me to explain. My name is eEvilyn Didly Scott and I am an old villain. Once a year, a mad...Sea Circumnavigationist by the name of Jacob Javits, Shanghai's me by way of micky. He will usually, I assume, have one of his mangled minions micky one of my many nightly absinth's. (although, often, I regret to admit, none such "micky" is needed to induce a shanghai)

He usually stows me aboard his sea vessel: "The Beechy Keen II." This year it seems he has acquired a new vessel: "Sea Sea Rider" This fellow disgusts me.

Back to my log:
This is DAY THREE of my abduction. We have just rounded the North Pole where I was able to sketch the above rendition of what mine eye has spied up there. A more disturbing sight, I cannot recall. One thing I could not sketch was the smell. Allow me now: Tequila lime vomit with a touch of "BBQ dipping sauce." I have decided to sell this card around what you call: Christ Mas. (image only)

DAY FOUR
As of today, Captain Javits has informed me that we shall indeed land upon the rusty shores of New, New Amsterdam, or, as you call it:

NEW YORK CITY.

This is perfect because I shall set up a hovel inside

The Javits Center, May 18 - 21 and call it: BOOTH 3352

I invite you to join me there!! I will show you all of my works:

BREAK UP CARDS
HOOK-UP CARDS
JOURNALS
CALLING CARDS IN A TIN !
TEED SHIRTS
COTTON BAGGED, BAGS
and maybe more...

HELP ME!

Kickin' it "Old School Seals"

Put the CORE back in CORRESPONDENCE....

Dear friends,

I like writing secret letters to secret people and further, I like secretly sealing each secret letter with a secret wax seal that I have secretly chosen on a once secret website by the name of:



Old School Seals



It is our secret advice that you secretly check out this secret site and buy a few secret seals of your own secret choosing. We even secretly designed a few secret seals for you to secretly purchase.

Viva Oy Vegas!!

Introducing our brand-new Chanukah Card...

.....If one wishes to purchase this "brand-new" card set, why, one would have to email me and plainly ask for a box of these gems. I will show explain all you need to do. Simply email me:

Shalome-out!

eEvil Ink Design Visits New York City

I am writing this note upon a small schooner by the name of "Beachy Keen II." Do not ask what happened to The Beachy Keen the first. That is to say, you can ask, but you wish you hadn't because the answer will threaten your dreams at night as you roll over the wet waves of...plunder, shall we say.

Why am I on this schooner: allow me to explain.

My name is eEvilyn Diddley Scott and I do not trust the aero-spaced vessels that hob knob with the clouds. I feel that it simply is not right. Therefore, I find suspicious shipery exciting- if nothing else. I'm currently east of Brazil, my favorite place upon this great blue cube, (the earth is NOT round). Just a few exciting minutes ago I peered through my telescope...it is a mountainous region- Brazil.

Soon I shall reach my destination:

NEW YORK CITY.

for...

THE NATIONAL STATIONARY SHOW

MAY 16th - 22nd

If you care to contact me, please do. I shall do everything in my powers to meet with you and sign autographs. All you have to do is scower my website for contact information or...I can leave this "link" as they're called:

thatonecat@eevil.org

What ever you type, you can send it there where I shall get a faithful minion to read your message aloud to me as I do not care for advancing technologies, I will not, with first hand, personally participate in electronic mail. I even gesture with my left hand as I dictate my letterdom.

eEnjoy yourselves, where ever you may lie.
Perhaps I'll see you in New York.

The Hollywood Hills Are Made of Kitty Litter

As you may sort of see, or perhaps you've been there and you know, all those hills above Hollywoodland are made of grade "A" kitty litter.

If you have a cat (or cats) and you live in Hollywood, do yourself a favor and save some money by heading up there with a little bag and mine away your time...AND BILLS!

Kitty litter is also good for getting out those pesky oil stains that lay atop your garage floor.

So you see, it's win, win.

Just watch it, though. There are a few mountain Lions up there who come from miles around just to use these golden Kitty Litter Mountains.

eEvil Ink Loves Brazil !! (the addendum)

Long about yesterday, we wanted express our love for Brazil in their native tongue, Portuguese. We're not sure if it's exactly "native," but it happens to be the tongue of Brazil.

Using a hand held device by Radio Shack: "Porto-on-the-Go-Go" We had it translate a message to the people of Brazil yesterday, October 18th, 2006. You can even see the very message below if you dare look down there.
We'd like to make mention that the original English version had a form of coherence- not so when translated back to English. The following is the message that was translated: ENGLISH to PORTUGUESE and back to ENGLISH by the new hand-held "Porto-on-the-Go-Go" by Radio Shack:

"Hello friends of Brazil, as is you today? That way to the library? Can I start a wax there? Tomalies in my low shoes has ones.

Approval, not really...

Since that we were thus mentioned valiantly in one of its wonderful compartments, us we observe many of the strokes in our Web site. We desire to inform it who that one, yes... it is approval to buy some of our merchandise. Moreover, our cards do not come with the plastic, sorry injectors --this can satisfy it (we know that he satisfies customs).

If you to desire to buy our cards or t-shirts and you will not have a customer of PayPal, simply the email me and me it will see to it that you receive that its disires from the heart... Revenge!"

Thus ends the message. What we would like to say now is, "Sorry!!" and,
"Damn you Radio Shack !!"

We sent both versions back to the lab to findout, once and for all, what we actually said.

If you find yourself to be a Portuguese...English to Portuguese Language Scientist, please contact us at once! We need your help. We will even settle for a Lithuanian 3rd grade grammar school teacher.

thatonecat@eevil.org

o projeto da tinta do eEvil ama Brasil!!

Hello amigos de Brasil, como é você hoje? Que maneira à biblioteca?? Posso eu começar uma cera lá? Há uns tomalies em minhas sapatas.

Aprovação, não realmente...

Desde que nós fomos mencionados assim valiantly em um de seus compartimentos maravilhosos, nós observamos muitos das batidas em nosso Web site. Nós desejamos informá-lo que aquela, sim... ele é aprovação para comprar alguma de nossa mercadoria. Além disso, nossos cartões não
vêm com os injetores plásticos, pesarosos--isto pode satisfazê-lo (nós sabemos que satisfaz costumes).

Se você desejar comprar nossos cartões ou os t-shirts e você não tiverem um cliente de PayPal, simplesmente o email mim e mim
ver-lhe-á que você recebe que seus disires do coração...Vingança!

Obrigado Brasil!!

We await your every creaking half-smile...

The Great Strokes / Franz Ferdinand War

I think that Franz Ferdinand won the war for the megaphonic, dirty, riffy sound. The Strokes have come back with a keen new song, which is not bad, but after I hear it I find myself singing "Oh Mandy" by Manilow himself. The Strokes, they play dirty, I tell you.....DIRTY! They've unleashed some heavy psychological warfare to get into our heads and win the battle.

Manilow invented the stupid, catchy melodies that were designed to kill us all. (MWMM) Manilow's Weapons of Mass Mediocrity was a big thing in the 70's. He's an evil wizard, I tell you! And for those Strokes to evoke the specter of Manilow, well, that's just dirty.

I've stayed out of this war in the past and will continue to do so in the future, but I had to stand up and say something here. Leave Manilow's evil...mind fucking tools alone! It's getting all terrorist...turn your heads to them...TURN YOUR HEADS!! Look away...

eEvil Ink @ myspace

I'm just an old villain, as I have put forth as word- and many other suggestions thereof. I was slow to respond to the need of myspace. Frankly, myspace's new owner, Rupert Murdock, scares even me- and I'm a villain!

So we have succumb to the networkings of myspace. We would love for you to join us there and become our...how do you say...friend.
