It's beginning to look at a lot like commerce!

A couple of years ago I had an idea to make a small amplifier and mount it in a cigar box to use with my computer at work.  When I finally got around to building it, I thought it came out great--and a lot of people seemed to agree.  So I built a few more and put them for sale on Etsy.  I listed the first one several weeks ago and it has been steadily gathering admirers. 

Finally, Saturday night someone pulled the trigger and bought it.  Then to my wondrous eyes did appear... another order yesterday.  And another this morning!  I need to find more cigar boxes.

Sew What

My wife, Anna, will be showing her Book Purses--hardcover books upcycled into purses--at Sew What this weekend.

The event will include vendors who produce handmade jewelry, accessories, clothing and home goods. Artists will be painting live during the event with an opportunity for the public to receive custom art. This event will also include a Swap-o-Rama-Rama which is a community clothing swap and do-it-yourself workshop in which attendees explore creative reuse through the recycling of used clothing.

Saturday, June 26, 2010 3-7pm Union Square Plaza, Somerville MA (click for a map)
(Rain date is Sunday, June 27)

Welcome!

Welcome friends and strangers!

I'm an assemblage artist from Somerville, MA. I show my work through a couple of local artist associations and their cooperative galleries a few times per year and at my city's open studio event in the spring. I'll post show announcements and pictures of new work here, but check out my website for older work and more information: ChrisHolmesArt.com

Please drop me an email if you have questions about my work or are interested in purchasing a piece. chris@chrisholmesart.com
