We offer a broad selection of subjects, and with that, a platform which brings extra exposure to the creative people that inspire us so much. We're always looking for new, creative work and we're always open for new contacts. In the end, CFYE is all about making nice things with great people!


With CFYE we focus on different subjects:



All this comes together on cfye.com. This webzine is weekly updated with interviews, columns, reviews and other interesting write ups on events and artists.


STREET ART/GRAFFITI - CRACKFORYOUREYES.COM

cfyeyesfullsCrackforyoureyes.com is the place for your daily dose of street art. This blog is all about street art and graffiti and offers an extra point of exposure for the artist. With daily updates, worldwide contributors and a fast growing community on social websites like Flickr, Crack for your eyes is establishing itself quickly in the street art and graffiti scene.


 

 


MUSIC - CRACKFORYOUREARS.COM

cfyearsfullsCrackforyourears.com is all about promoting new artists, DJ's and new music in general. Crack for your ears offers new high quality mixtapes with a direct download from soundcloud on a daily basis. Crack for your ears also has its own mixtape series called Rush which is done by a different DJ every edition. Next to that, the blog helps you discover new artists with the 'hypespace'.

 

 


PHOTOGRAPHY - SHUTTERCRACK.COM

shuttercrackfullsShuttercrack.com is a platform which is totally focused on inspiring visual communication trough the art of photography. Photographers submit their best work to our moderated Flickr pool on a daily basis and the best of the submissions will be allowed in the pool. The best of those are selected and put on shuttercrack.com, assuring that only the cream of the crop appears on the blog. Shuttercrack is moderated by 10 different volunteers across the globe.

 

 

 

 

LIGHT PAINTING - CRACKLIGHTDISTRICT.COM

cld_logo100x100Cracklightdistrict.com is the result of a collaboration between the Japanese light art performers Fiz-Iks and CFYE. Even though light art performance isn't huge with the general public yet, one of the first known light art performers was Picasso. In the 80's, Dutch artist Eric Staller explored light painting and recently this art form started to make a revival. With cracklightdistrict we offer a point of exposure for beginning light painting artists as well as re-introducing the world to this spectacular form of art.

 

 

 

MOTION - CRACKCIRCUITTV.COM

cctvfullscrackcircuittv.com is the place where all the hard work and effort of small independent film makers pay off. Okay not really, but it's a place where we gather the best and most inspiring animations, stop motion movies, collages and everything else that moves and can be embedded on a webpage.

 

 

 

 

THE PEOPLE BEHIND CFYE

CFYE is created by Kaymir Stark(24) and Arden de Raaij(24), two senior interactive media students and creative minds. Kaymir and Arden both do consulting in new media and concept development with their own company's. They consider CFYE to be their full time job though, and spend day and night searching for new talent and interesting events to document.

 

 

CFYE has an always expanding crew of writers, photographers, moderators, bloggers and other contributors and we wouldn't exist without these people. For a list of main contributors, click on the map.

Besides this crew, we wouldn't have anything to show for without all the artists that share their stories, images and inspirations with us.


MISSION

Our mission is to become one of the leading cultural webzines, combining all our different subjects in one interesting magazine. We want to offer our visitors inspiring and quality content, both written and visual. Also, we try and be of service to the artists we feature by opening doors for them and connecting them to the people that can mean something to them. This is why we are always open for new contacts in any creative sector.


We strongly believe in the use of social networks and existing creative platforms like Flickr or Vimeo. This offers us the chance to directly approach artists and scout for new and unknown artists to feature.
