BEN-JAMMIN’

I guess one of the only perks of being part of my family is all the prints you receive whether you like it or not. John Watts is family.  I could never accept payment for prints from such a man, considering how much he helps me everyday.  He is my best friend, cook, psychiatrist, nutritionist, art installer, biggest fan, proofreader and also trunk of my imaginary car (the man can carry a lot of framed prints under his arm while biking).  The list goes on.  He is priceless.  He is also a fantastic cook. So here are four of the recent meals he has lovingly made. You can think of it is four $25 dollar meals for two, 8 incredibly full, happy, healthy bellys, or basically proof that I have the best partner in the world.  Bon apetite and I invite you all to dinner at our place sometime.

Yeah, I think if  you have some sort of fancy computer/tech job in England and you are getting paid for that fancy job in  Pounds…

you should take advantage of that currency exchange rate ( a friggin’ steal at £59.29 GBP)  and support your starving graduate students in America.  Thank you Michael Vachon for being my first international patron. i feel fancy.

I hope people go and check out your site: http://www.professionalcrm.com because i’ll be honest, client relationships really do matter.

Every orange square is a print sold or traded.  Contact me iminyeh@gmail.com if you want to help change the installation and make a little orange space for yourself:

Oh, don’t you hate it when you stumble across a project that is similar in many aspects to your own. Except that it is technologically more advanced, more successful of a dialogue on labor and exchange and interaction, and just downright generous.  Alright, really the only thing we have in common is the Benjamin.  Ten Thousand Cents (http://www.tenthousandcents.com) is fantastic. It was an honor to share the APAture festival exhibition space with them and it is my pleasure to share a bit of the world wide web as well.   If you have $100 bucks to spare on art, send it the Ten Thousand Cent guys, Each print proceeds go to the One Laptop per Child Project.  If you have an extra $100 or a awesome $100 creative traderoo well, I know exactly where you could send that!

Anna is one of my fellow CCA MFAers.  Technically she is in the Metal/jewelry department but I think she is in the smart, well-crafted, and generous Art department.  She made this fantastic ring in exchange for Benjam number 33.  It mythically fit my finger perfectly and matched my personality with its sweet pink sparkle.  I’m gonna cruise the town with my $100 bling. Thank you Anna, and I know we are gonna do some collaborative work soon.
