Fly by Night

When you buy designer merchandise directly from the artist, you eliminate the greedy middleman and ease the new depression burden from the broken back of your pocketbook. Such is the case with the Sikenomics Pop-Up Shop, local designer Sike Style’s temporary installation at the now-vacant Revue Boutique space (1415 West 39th Street). “Very temporary, actually,” Sike says. “Since all those spaces are closing out and moving down the street, they’re letting me take over the store for the weekend. It will be me moving in all my stuff in place of what’s there now. It’ll be the Sike Boutique for three days.” Until Sunday, then, expect T-shirts, hoodies and custom vinyl toys. DJ Kizone will be there with art at noon Saturday. “Also, my friend Michelle Dreher, with Two Tone Press, is going to sell her posters and printed cards. They’re letterpress-style work,” Sike adds.
