I'M IN MIAMI BITCH! Lithograph

 The 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.

I'M IN MIAMI BITCH! The Final Color Proofs.

     Soon 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!

I'M IN MIAMI BITCH! A Design Perspective

July 13, 2013.

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.

IIMB! design 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!

I'M IN MIAMI BITCH! The book.

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. 

I’M IN MIAMI BITCH! The book.


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,
