CMYK @ Sew What?!? Arts Event

It seems that we are quite the popular arts collective in Boston. So popular we were asked to participate in Sew What?!? Fashion, Art and Shopping Event, It's going to have jewelry, clothes, and art vendors, live art demonstrations where you can see our very own Alfredo Rico-Dimas create a graffiti masterpiece. The event also features a Swap-O-Rama-Rama clothing swap and D.I.Y stations. It should be a good time.

Location: Union Square Plaza, Somerville

Date/Time: Saturday May 31st, 3-7 PM

South End Open Market Opening Weekend

The South End Open Market's opening weekend has come and gone. But in its wake lay the unveiling of CMYK Boston's potpourri of edgy art (Graffiti and Nude pictures topping the list), and the people loved it. Check it out... and just a quick note, the high caffeine content of Starbucks' mint mocha late frappuchino free samples is what really allowed this weekend to happen. So thank you Starbucks, thank you.

Customer Participation was welcomed

Zip-tied Shutters make great merchandise displays

Alfredo was quite the Salesman
Seriously...Thank you Starbucks

Party in CMYK's Tent!

New Collages...

Inspired by The Strip Street by Ladislav Sutnar.
Yeah... I hate obscure references, but this one is for real.

For his work (which is the awesomest ever!) click here. He was a graphic designer for the most part, but if you want to see his paintings, click on "beyond design," then click on "US period paintings." Click on any title to see the full color version. Also note that the floating orange rectangle in the upper right hand corner is actually a scroll bar.

Okay! So back to me, and how cool I am...
These are smallish collages; 8" x 8" or 8" x 10" and are mounted on masonite. These three are the first few of a series that I'm making for my Open Studios- May 9, 10, 11 and The South End Open Market- opening weekend May 17, 18. Questions? Comments?

Looks fancy, doesn't it?

There are also real fancy pants prints to see of mine at Bloc 11 Cafe in Somerville, Massachusetts for an undefined amount of time (but are up as of now, probably no longer then late April, 2008).

It is a mini-retrospective of the past three years of proper photographic prints made with sweat and tears and an occasional 40 oz-er.

Ode To Etsy

Etsy is probably the most exciting place on the internet.
I did ALL of my Christmas shopping on Etsy. Not only did everyone think that I made all my own presents (ha ha!) but I didn't have to go out shopping with all the scary people in that insane period between Thanksgiving and December 25th. Seriously...it's like a zombie horror flick out there.
I even found a present for my Dad on Etsy. And it wasn't a tie.

You can look at other people's stuff too, I guess.

Etsy: a website which focuses primarily on providing the general public with a way to buy and sell handmade items.

Thank you Wikipedia for that concise and accurate description. I know I can always count on you.
