ASK DINI A QUESTION:

Some of the work in the gallery comes from musicians who were in art school. Is that where you developed you artist skills?

There are several different design styles in the Flashpoint Gallery, much of your work uses the collage technique. Why did you take that design approach?

Dini sits down to create a poster. What is on the table in front of him?

Who influenced your style for poster design?

When you created a poster what was the creative process and how long would a typical Dini poster take to make?

Your Moving Parts  poster is fabulous. The glass effect looks like a Adobe Photoshop filter, how did you do that?

The introduction of the color Xerox machine must have had a big impact on your work. How important was that?

Some of the posters show HSR with their eyes blocked out with black bands. Was the band in a (WPP) Witness Protection Program or were you making a visual statement?

If you ever found yourself stuck for ideas… what would you turn to generate inspiration?

You every find yourself in trouble posting your work, putting up your posters illegally or being chased away by an angry merchant?

Rumor has it you there was an HSR poster stalker or anti fan who would take down your posters soon after you put them up. What is the story behind that?

If you look in the Boston Flashpoint Gallery there are lots of different styles of work, can you pick out three of your favorites?
