Hoppers sons and family were his pall bearers. Here’s an image of Francis of Assisi whose life teaching’s Dennis Hopper admired. Like Hopper’s artworks, this was said of [...]

  Angelina Jolie’s face – becomes the target of rumors today on Star Magazine who claim “blah, blah, blah.” She must look at these tabloids and give one eye roll (only), before she moves on with her day. Brooke Shields is mad about fur in Copenhagen–much to PETA’s horror (good on her!) and Star Trek’s Zachary Quinto [...]

The haka is rather hot right now in American pop music texts, I’ve noticed. Today Hollywood via this blog, celebrates the life of a great Maori woman filmmaker, Merata Mita.

Snow, Moon, Flower is on display at LACMA. This work is called Moon. Calligraphy on paper.
