G-GAP IV (Gloucester Guerilla Art Project)This Monday Night!

Posted on by Joey Ciaramitaro

MONDAY, APRIL 26 @ 7:30PM Cape Ann Community Cinema

Join us for the fourth “G-GAP” (Gloucester Guerilla Art Project) as we present on our screen the work of the following wicked talented folks:

DAVID COX – back shore surf pictures set to Willie “Loco” Alexander’s song “Bass Rocks”

JAY ALBERT – A “St. Peter & Mother Nature” photo show, featuring the song “The Sunset” by Stephan Carroll, written especially for G-GAP

STEVE BORICHEVSKY – A breathtaking “Gloucester: Land, Sea & Air” photo show

EMILE DOUCETTE – Three short films: “Hold” (a 2009 48-Hour Film competition entry featuring the voice of comedian Jonathan Katz); “Pallino” (a 2010 24-Hour Film competition entry); “Homemade Parade” (about the Lanesville 4th Of July Parade and made for the 5-Day Doc Challenge in which “The Greasy Pole” also competed)

Cover’s just $7.00, and we give money from every ticket sold to the effort to repair Gloucester High School’s Newell Stadium. It’s a fun, all-local night out, and we hope you’ll join us and be a part of it!

No rainbow but it sure was dark there for a bit.

Peeps Part III or is it IV?
Plan ahead for next Easter or create your own art with peeps and a microwave. Eastern Ave Shaws still has them in the 50% off carts in the last aisle.

Hanging Over My Desk

Posted on by Joey Ciaramitaro

When on vacation in Miami long before the children had arrived the Mrs and I were taking a walk down Lincoln Road mall- an outdoor pedestrian walkway where many artists and restaurants and shops had set up.  Down the center stroll of Lincoln Road Mall there are water fountains and they have artisan fairs on the weekends and all other sorts of events there.  It’s a short walk from Ocean drive and South Beach.

Well during our walk there happened to be a sort of artisan flea market going on and the embroidered “Booze Is The Only Answer” piece you see in the picture was sitting on this woman’s table for sale.  It had no price tag and truthfully I thought it was so funny that I would have paid quadruple the price that the woman asked for it of $25.  It has been sitting over my head behind my desk for quite a few years now.

GMG Kid’s Art Project

Posted on by paultmorrison

Since my daughter at thirteen often tells me to grow up I consider my entering some art in the GMG Kid’s Art Project not entirely out of bounds. You might give me grief recycling Peeps in my art project but peeps are the gift that just keeps on giving. OK, trying to fill my 2PM slot each day I am totally tapped. So I took a magic marker and …
gmgpeepartgmgpeepartgmgpee

But wait there’s more. I also purchased Hipstamatic which Sharon mentioned as a cool tool for the iPhone. So I am combining GMG Art Project, GMG Recommendations for software, and some wicked stale peeps which have now been recycled so many times they are almost environmentally sound. Actually, I have them soaking in the sink and I might have to use my new Ingersoll Rand 121 Super Duty Air Hammer to get my plate back so not sure how environmentally sound they are. I might have to hide them in my trash bag at the Rockport Dump or they are going to charge me twenty bucks for commercial concrete disposal. I don’t even want to think about fire hazard or waiting until hazardous waste day to unload my peeps. If that happens they are going back up on the wall.

ps. I mentioned in an earlier post to get down to Shaws on Eastern Ave for a fire sale on post Easter Peeps but I was too late. They have replaced all things Easter with Boogie Boards, diving masks and snorkels in that last aisle across from the milk. They did have some chocolate peeps in the discard shopping carts in the middle of the aisle but someone had already scored the last of the marshmallow peeps. (Fess up.) So I combine a “Signs of Spring” of Boogie boards at Shaws. (Don’t worry I am making a list and will recycle all signs of spring once Rockport puts Mr and Mrs Bathroom sign up at the Info booth which is my sign of the end of spring beginning of summer.)

GenderConfusionGenderConfusion

Come to think of it I am going to do one more burn of brush before the May 1 deadline. My brush pile is a tad damp. Do you think I could use my Plate O’ Peeps as a fire starter? If you hear the fire horns this Saturday you might know why.

And the Winner Is……
