Smogranch has reviewed I'M IN MIAMI BITCH! the book. Now, Smogranch is not your typical literary reviewer. What he is though, is a thought provoker and catalyst.
Read MoreD-Day has finally arrived. All week long everyone has been marveling at how cool and unique the installation is and now it's time to sit back and enjoy the work and the company of my friends and on-lookers.
Read MorePhotography is the most permanent longest lasting proof of street art. There is no way to preserve street art except to photograph it before it fades, is toyed with, buffed or written over. Street art, by its very nature is a fluid art form, constantly evolving because of the landscape, materials, politics, weather etc.
Read MoreIt's official, I will be presenting I'M IN MIAMI BITCH! The Disappearing Street Art of Wynwood at the Miami Book Fair International.
Read MoreAfter that there were books being signed by me and the artists who were featured in the project. It was a great time and one I will not soon forget. Thank you everyone who attended and BIG UP to the artists involved.
Read MoreThe pace is fast and furious and things are falling into place as the book launch is next week. Yesterday, I was on press for the IIMB! lithograph. The image in the lithograph is the quintessential clean slate, the buffed wall, it's ready for action. The wall in the image didn't stay this pristine and artless for too long, it's in the center of Wynwood after all.
Read MoreWhat is the boxed edition about? Very simply, it is a version of the book that comes in it's own custom made slip case. The book has been custom fitted to exact specifications and measurements of the book.
Read MoreThe date has been set. Wednesday October 30th, 2013. I'M IN MIAMI BITCH! The book will be released. Please join me and the AIGA for a Parallels Series Presentation of I'M IN MIAMI BITCH! and Local Artist Conversation.
Read MoreHere it is! The printer Fedex'ed me a few advance copies of the book.
Read MoreF&G what does it mean? F&G means folded and gathered. This is an essential step in the book making process.
Read MoreI want to give a big shout out to Montana Cans in Heidelberg, Germany for featuring I'M IN MIAMI BITCH!
Read MoreWhen you sit around and discuss ideas with friends who are creatives, the ideas are fast and furious. Yes, it sounds cliche but that is how great ideas get worked out.
Read MoreIt's great to see all the hard work paying off. Today on the VNA blog IIMB! gets a big mention. Big Ups to the VNA crew!

Yeah, that's right we are on press. Check it out! I got the printer to make these pictures of the I'M IN MIAMI BITCH! book being printed. Although I couldn't be on press(printing in Hong Kong) this is the next best thing.
Read MoreSoon all the hard work will pay off. The final proofs have arrived and the color looks great. What does that mean? All the hours in front of the computer converting files, photoshopping, calibrating have been worthwhile. In this process each page needs to be approved. The next step will be to hold a finished book in my hands, how about you? Order your book now!

By Andrew Kaufman
It has been a busy week here at the AK FOTO studio. The website launched http://www.ImInMiamiBitch.Net and the public got it's first look at IIMB! Here is an image of the prototype.
But before this was possible there were many months of editing, adjusting, proofing and correcting. Here is a pile of the color xeroxes from a the project in progress.
Each version above represents many, many hours of design, sketching, working, re-working and evolution to the project. I spent time looking at the pages, making sketches, notes and brainstorming ideas about the look of the project. My journals are filled with the images and ideas from the project. This book is my black book. It is where my ideas have a chance to percolate. I am continually inspired by the work I see populating Miami's streets.
In the coming weeks I will have a series of Q & A's with the artists involved in the project. So stay tuned!
IIMB!

July, 2013.
One of the many elements of the project that has been created is a book. I worked with Charlie Calderin of DOINK Design in Miami on it's design. One of Charlie's favorite images from the project became the cover. It's been tagged with my handwriting.
Elements of the book:
+Four color offset printing(CMYK)
+216 pages
+140gsm wood free matte art paper
+ A foreward by KENNY SCHARF
+Photographs and Essay by Andrew Kaufman
+Q&A with BOOKSIIII BISCHOF of PRIMARY PROJECTS
The book was created to have a permanent and long lasting view of an impermanent art form. Wynwood has already changed, not a little but a lot! This book should serve as a memory of November and December 2012 and what happened on the streets of Wynwood during that time period.
IIMB,
AK
