Hello itās me, horriblenoise.
I dunno about where you are, but here in Toronto summer is in full effect, and sheās a fricken scorcher.
To help you beat the heat, I've designed a whole new collection of pocket print tees, and I donāt mind tellin ya that they might just be my best ones yet. (I've even got a spicy new EMBROIDERED pocket design for you to check out)!
As always, 10% of the profit portion of ALL SALES at horriblenoise.ca will be going to charity. Once again, weāve chosen to support a local Toronto charity initiative called SKETCH Working Arts.
SKETCH offers programs in fine art, as well as vocational and career skills to homeless and otherwise marginalized Toronto youth. They also provide free hot lunches every single day.
I live in one of the most low income neighbourhoods of Toronto, and I see the worst of Torontoās visible poverty and homelessness on the daily. Its bad. Just being close to it takes a toll on me, but I can only imagine the hopelessness one would feel as a young adult fending for themselves on the street, or at the bottom rungs of society.
Making art and exploring my creativity has doneĀ so much for me, in terms of both personal Growth, and paying the rent. I really feel that the training and opportunities offered by sketch can create sustained positive change for individuals from these marginalized communities.
Iāve met and even collaborated with artists whoāve benefited from SKETCH programs, and Iāve toured their facility. I've seen the fuccn twinkle in kids eyes as they learn skills and access equipment that lets them be creative, and in turn create brighter futures for themselves.
So cop yourself a shirt, roll up the sleeves, and pour yourself a 1 litre mason jar of pinot grigio, cuz youāre one of the good ones.
Look good, feel good. And for fuc sakes get outside.
Sincerely
ur boi,
HoiNoi

Thatās right u fuccn turkeynecks, that means that now through Monday, all profits from EVERYTHING sold at my website: HORRIBLENOISE.ca is going to charity!Ā
Ā
Help fight back against the mindless consumerism of Black Friday and ācyber Mondayā by purchasing spicy ass products designed by yours truly, with all profits going to @sketchtoronto ; an awesome non-profit organization that provides hot meals and arts education to homeless and disadvantaged youth here in Toronto! šŖš»ššØššØš¦š¦.Ā
Ā
Essentially they provide underprivileged youth with a free lunch and free classes in a variety of arts related subjects ranging from painting to in-studio music production. They also have classes that focus on creating formal art portfolios and other skills essential to being financially successful in the arts.Ā
Ā
This is our second time around donating to SKETCH. I have personally toured their facility and met other Toronto artists whoās lives and artistic careers have benefited from the program, so Iām hyped to make this second round of fundraising even bigger than the last!

]]>Ayyy it me ur boi, horriblnoi. This new summer collection of mine has been a big hit so far, but i'ma take it even further with THREE MORE new relases!
These sensuous units are all pulled direct from my private book of stick n poke tattoo designs, and they are lookin ice c0ld if i do say so myself.
Have a look, we got:
GOTH JUICE
Ā SPORTS R A DISEASE
and 2% YOLO
Oh, yea, these bad mothers are currently at a 20% DISCOUNT, but only for a very limited time, so cop now or fornever hold ur piece.
And in case u ain't heard... aside from that girthy AF 20% off, we're giving 10% of ALL SALES (not just the new collection & not just clothes!) to an awesome non-profit arts intiative that helps homeless and otherwise marginalized Toronto youth ages 16-29 create transformative personal and social change through the arts.
They're called SKETCH, and they provide daily hot meals, along with dozens of freeĀ educational courses in everything from singing, to pottery wheelin', to gourmet cooking!
There was a real electric energy to the place, and they had a whole host of success stories to share with me about lives turned around, or careers taking off, as a result of the programs that SKETCH offers. This is a unique and forward thinking initiative that's existed for more than a decade here in Toronto, and I'm v v proud to be supporting it!
P.S., rumor has it that there are EVEN MORE NEW RELEASES on the way. But these deals won't last, so move your ass!
]]>Foreign media, human rights groups, UN human rights inspectors and NGOs are banned from operating in West Papua, so we rarely hear about the situation there. Its likely that most Indonesian citizens do not have a full understanding of the nature happenings there.
(Pictured above is Benny Wenda, pacifist leader of the Free West Papua Campaign, who lives in Exile in the UK.)
The FWP Campaign is a non-profit organisation that relies on fundraising and donations.
They describe their current budget as a "shoestring", which is a testament to the continued lack of international awareness about the genocide.
The campaign just had a big win, presenting a petition with close to 2 million signatures to the UN, requesting they pressure Indonesia to hold a referendum. This is a great step forward, but it means that now is a more critical time than ever to maintain this momentum: to keep pushing, and to keep spreading advocacy. As stated on the website:
Ā "The people of West Papuaās voices are finally being heard by the world, and we want to continue our critical work to ensure West Papua remains on the UN agenda until they are free."
This is a cause I have been extremely passionate about for a long time, since I first learned about it in university. I now, for the first time, find myself in a position to do something to help. I really hope you will feel the same way. If you're not looking to buy any HONO merch, or you're already HONO'd out for the time being, consider donating directly to the campaign here.
To spice things up, aside from sales on the website going to the campaign, I'll be flash auctioning original art pieces daily via my instagram account.

]]>My friend who is good at the computer helped me build this new dank af website for by which to sell and promote myself and my cartoonery.
I was about ready to give in to the pressures of being broke and eating bits of string as if it was spaghetti, but some folks let me know just how much they believed in me and liked my stuff. So that, plus this well-oiled new website have got me grindin my teeth about this stuff harder than ever. I'm producin' more art and getting into more trouble than ever before.
Thanks for stopping by.Ā Now buy something or I will bite your ankles at night.
