THREE ACORNS IN KATE MIDDLETON’S COAT OF ARMS – ENTERTING INTO REST

23 Apr

In just a few more sleeps, (six) Kate Middleton of London will ascend the ranks of commoners when she marries Prince William in the UK. Part of this process is for Kate’s family to be awarded their own coat of arms.

People Magazine of the USA obesses about this fact today. Here’s their verbage into what the coat of arms means: “Weddings are always family affairs, and Kate Middleton‘s is no different. With just over a week to go before she marries Prince William, Kate, 29, and her family have been granted a traditional coat of arms, which was unveiled Tuesday.

Three acorns, symbolizing the Middleton children, and a flash of gold to represent Kate’s mother, Carole, are at the heart of the design. But there’s more meaning to the choice of imagery than meets the eye.
In addition to signifying the princess-to-be and her siblings Pippa, 27, and James, 24, the acorns also hark back to the oak trees that grow near Kate’s home in Bucklebury, Berkshire. ” For more go here.

CHANGE AND FILMMAKER MERATA MITA’S LEGACY TO ALL KIWIS

20 Apr

“Be the see, you want to change”–Merata Mita, in an interview 1999.

Merata was a filmmaker extraordinaire (masterful sound weaving was her forte). She was revered in Hollywood and Hawaii for her Indigenous Peoples perspective as a story teller of the moving image. Mita was often asked to judge at film festivals around the world, including Sundance. She once was a friend of Nelsen Mandela’s from afar, revealing in her film Patu! how apartheid or systems of aparthied should never be tolerated. She gifted all New Zealanders this gift at great cost.  

I like this one saying she spoke on camera. She was deep.

To watch her films is an amazing journey into her wairua (or spirit). Her film Patu! is like greenstone (a taonga or treasure) in New Zealand arts lore. She was one of the finest advocates for human rights we ever witnessed in action.

ART – REWRITING COLIN McCAHON

16 Apr

When I first opened the Newspaper after returning from America for 5 years, this dude was the featured artist.

The story said, he was reintepreting “Colin McCahon‘s body of work.” No one can really interpret Colin’s work. It’s too deep on many levels, but this artist’s sense of cheeky chutzpah did make me smile.

One of his paintings, was called Taming The Colt. His artwork is very “Old McDonald had a farm.” E.i.e.i… owe.

I don’t know his name. If you know his name, add it in a comment below. By the way, eels are a Chinese delicacy. They need to be pickled though before China is interested. Some New Zealand companies are working hard at breeding eels in captivity to supply China’s love of baby pickled eels. I used to work for one company who were exploring this option once.

Ironically, eels swim up to Tonga each year to breed. The ideal conditions for eels are when water vibrates under the ocean due to volcanic activity shuddering. The ‘electric current’ vibrations in the water, signal to an eels brain, these are the ideal conditions to mate in. The eels in New Zealand make this swim to Tonga, every year. These days, with the amount of volcanic activity in the world, I wonder where eels are most likely to breed on their migratory path?

That was a free marine biology lesson today into pickled gold ecomonies possible growth and expansion in Kiwiland.

Oh… and May we always support the arts in the world. Woot! Keep painting!

TAN MARKER

12 Apr

 

Future thinking. Out of all of these markers displayed, I think the tan one is very significant to the future of Aotearoa New Zealand. It will write history.

I also like the red one, but somehow it should be capped with a Stewart tartan cap, instead of just… well, bold red. A marker with a Stewart tartan colored red, will write history too.

Arts Tip – You do realize that the important tan marker, is really blue though, right?

Okiez. :)

REMNANT ART – THE FEAST OF BELSHAZZAR – 1635 by REMBRANDT

05 Apr

One for Ezra – In Aotearoa New Zealand we look after and we appreciate our remnant peoples. We also appreciate what remaining remnants of all earth’s resources there are to share with everyone on the planet, through sustainable living.

Once upon a time, a painter named Rembrand(t) painted this painting titled, The Feast of Belshazzar. It was painted on canvas, 167.6 x 209.2cm. In 1639 Menasseh published this interpretation in his book De terminu vitae.  Menasseh was a mysti[k]s scholar who would explain the meanings of culture to humanist scholars of his times. He also introduced his painter friend to Ephraim Bonus, a doctor. Like Menasseh, Bonus was a Portugese-Jewish member of Rembrandt’s community.

Rembrandt painted his friends because he discovered in his paintings that they had slightly distinct features, different to other subjects he had painted. This body of work, where Rembrandt became interested in their physiognomic peculiarities, was because Rembrandt believed not only the high priests but all Jews, even Jesus Christ, had looked like this. In the 1650s a young Jew frequently modeled for Rembrandt’s students while they were on their Christ painting modules of art in education.

Author Christian Tumpel notes “This reflects the change in the Master Painter’s attitudes towards the Jewish people: this people, who were distinguished because Jesus Christ came from their midst, had not ceased to be brothers of the Christians by remaining true to the faith of their fathers.”

Riveting stuff from the Arts World in the reference section of Visual Audio Arts BHPL, CA 90210.

Like I said… in Aotearoa New Zealand we are remnant conscious and remnant mindful people. We think green and that includes preserving peoples lives because we are incredibly real. There’s not a fake or shaved bone in most of our faces – we like to look after our original remnant people first, before we rock out and be super heroes like we can be and we excel at too – as if we have secrets to hide and have to. We don’t. Because such a view is our real status as a nation, and we too are in positions of changing this, getting it right before we can rock out and save everyone else’s non-Rembrandt thinking humanistic consuming ways that’s too heavy on the gas pedal –expecting spiritually-minded people to put ourselves on the block, for them, and go to battle and wrangle – without much of a thought to that… we must return to Rembrandt’s work.

I am sorry if we misled you that we didn’t know our ethics and morals and whose priorities lie where. We know where ours lie in New Zealand. We are decent people. This is our current status on justice. I love that about New Zealand, just like this magnificent Rembrandt painting also reminds us. Daniel saved whole kingdoms from toppling once. The best part of all, he did it from a basis of saving his own remnant through serving foreign kings with the truth on matters. His own remnant were once in states of captivity. He was quite a remarkable guy. His guidance never came from the systems of guidance around him. It came from a higher source.

One of our own great painters name in New Zealand was Colin McCahon. He once did a painting representing a candle in the dark. The candle was in the foreground of an Egyptian pyramid background. I am that candle today, writing on this zero-budget, virtual wall from Beverly Hills. Who would have thought? Not me. However, Remnants are US.

The original Daniel was a friend of Ezra.

In New Zealand our greatest weapon on earth is our humility a sense of fair justice that can Rise Up above fear. We don’t fear nuclear weapons, because injustice is the greatest bomb of all to my people. Because of that. There is a principle that is spiritual, that states people who are just are respected, even by their ‘enemies.’ Justice preserves the life of a King, through wise counsel that is spiritually grounded in the rich fertile whenua of ethics. This is our best defense plan. It does cost a lot though. I hold this painting up as a symbol of justice today. Justice is a living spirit in New Zealand we all serve, honor, work hard to maintain. Justice is our passion, it is what we do well with gifted eyes for the world and strong hearts that can look at facts and divide an equation fairly. Not for ourselves alone to look good, in this fleeting moment of time, but beyond us all, for generations still to come.

Peace. Mauri ‘Ola. Ni hao.

HOLLYWOOD SYMBOLS IN A STORE FRONT WINDOW – THE LEMON TREE – 4.4.11

05 Apr

At The Lemon Tree, one store has this vibe about their snap shot of Hollywood history in this moment.

We’re content to be James Bond lead (it’s spy time), we gave up Superman to the UK (it’s his turn to steel it), we’re about green peas on our plates, we’re about fat chooks shopping and sharing their wealth… and a few other things.

Intriguing, laden with many symbols all worthy of giving a mood and a vibe in this pop cultural terrain.

As always in the hood every single month, Marilyn Monroe still makes the cut.

Masterful too at playing the ‘damsel in distress’ the US admits to feeling a bit like China’s concubine in this moment of being in debt. An honest expression of Hollywood? Or just this mad crazy town being always dramatic, that’s impossible not to all love. It’s what we do in Hollywood as an art form. Always a colorful store is The Lemon Tree.

THE HORIWOOD TOP TEN – 3.31.11

01 Apr

Charlotte Rampling is an actress that always brings an air of maturity to every film role she’s appeared in. Here’s Rampling’s mug today, for a different Hollywood view.

While fine filmmakers like James Cameron are offering technical tips to filmmakers here in the USA today recommending an increase from 25 FPS 24 FPS to 48 or 60 FPS to reduce strobing on digital film cameras while capturing the moving image for a better quality film product; down under in Kangaroo country, filmmakers are wrangling up their own private investors quite well to get their films made. It’s exciting stuff revealing pride of culture and traditions in celebrating a sense of place.

The stories have a local theme. A good thing, because it’s not a bad thing to hear the Aussie accent in cinema texts some times – not just at awards shows, right? This exciting buzz shows a renewed passion for Australia’s arts and culture in their local filmmaking community. The story can be read after our top ten today in Hollywood. James Cameron‘s filmmaking advice can be read here.

Here we go! :)

1. Moussa Koussa in London

2. Justin Bieber & Selena Gomez are friends

3. Kris Jenner talks creating your own economy

4. Olivia Wilde

5. Owl tattoos from Kat Von D

6. Australia’s trends

7. The judge who intervened in Wisconsin’s labor wrangles

8. Beatrice of York exits the club

9. US trends on bing.com

10. Rugby football humor – black or white? by Dan Carter

Private investors are jumping on board filmmakers visions to offer a view of culture that reflects the Aussie way of life. Films in the works are, Beneath Hill 60 (a military drama about WWI Aussie miners deployed to tunnel under the great Western front once). Townsville, a mining town with locals are funding the filmmakers vision.

As the story goes, Film producer Bill Leimbach, ‘raised $2.5 million in private investment for the $10 million film through mining industry suppliers, including a publican, the owner of a construction company, a truck operator, scaffolder, lawyer, excavator, road builder, property developer and a rock crusher.’

The private investors blend with government funding seems to be accelerating new ideas to be made into films. Out in May is Mad Bastards, a drama set in the Kimberley – once again funded by the areas mining community.

In August comes Red Dog, a heartfelt tale about a cattle dog that becomes a hero in the Pilbara, which has local investment from Rio Tinto, Woodside, WesTrac and regional airline SkyWest.

September sees a cultured adaptation of Patrick White’s novel The Eye of the Storm,that stars Oscar winner, Geoffrey Rush, Judy Davis and Charlotte Rampling. Producer Antony Waddington says private investors have contributed ”several million dollars” towards the $15 million budget. Rather than chasing a fast buck, they are fine-art lovers – discreet enough to want anonymity – who wanted to support a quality Patrick White project.

Although the investors who are investing in these Aussie films (do not necessarily expect to get their money back). “These stories need to be told” is the common bond that is causing the private sector of Australian film investors to believe in these stories being shown on the silver screen.

Bill Leimbach is upbeat to be progressing with two new film projects. One centers on the wool industry in a film titled Banjo and Matilda, a love triangle that centres on Banjo Paterson writing Waltzing Matilda (Australia’s national anthem) during a shearers’ strike lull.

Another film idea is from the Singaporean community for a $45 million co-production about the fall of Singapore. Two new films are also being made in Australia, the Willem Dafoe drama The Hunter and the Joel Edgerton-Teresa Palmer mystery drama Say Nothing. :)

Australian film news today via Sydney Morning Herald. Film trailer, no.1 box office film in Hollywood history – with the best message.

GYPSY No. 5 FASHION RETAIL BILLBOARD ART USA, MISS TESSA PORTRAIT AND FIVE THINGS

25 Mar

Alright today in Hollywood I notice that Gypsy no.5 pins its fashion retail sales hopes on a ‘white horse’ billboard. The photograph was snapped against grey sky backdrops on La Cienega and Santa Monica Blvd, West Hollywood CA 90069. Good luck to Gypsy no.5 with this marketing lead, a tribute (perhaps) to violet-days of National Velvet Hollywood cinematic history as well as emerging world trends. Cute billboard marketing.

We also celebrate today with an art portrait snapped by Kiwi-American artist-fashion emerging star, Miss Tessa. Hopefully I’m forgiven for sharing this picture as blogging on a budget Hollywood paparazzi-o today. :) Probably not! However, sharing is art so I’m going with it. I first saw Miss Tessa creating artwork when she was 16. Her work was a giant mural for dyslexia awareness, so she’s a good one. Art for good causes is not a bad start in the art world. A charity benefitted from Miss Tessa’s first exhibited work. She exhibited at a cross-cultural red carpet film event depicting Latino actors being filmed in Christchurch, Canterbury – the Garden City.

Years later this city would be struck tragically by earthquake devastation. Both Russell Crowe and supermodel Rachel Hunter offer commentary on how to help this city.

Anyway here’s 5 things you’re looking in Hollywood on a day where California said farewell to a legend in Dame Elizabeth Taylor being laid to rest beside Michael Jackson. These five things are -

1. Dita Von Tesse‘s twitter couture for Marie Claire Russia is out there

2. Brad Pitt & Angelina Jolie film make together offshore for a change.

3. Movie script premise, conspiracy theory spooky humor – World Bank and US

4. Black racism by Miami police needs a word in oil slicked recovering Miami

5. Basketball fans humor – All Stars Unite – Kobe Bryant, Jay-Z & Beyonce

Bonus Post 1: US at the box office – I Am China by Jayden Smith & Jackie Chan

Bonus Post 2: Paramatta Eels footballers are saving Ireland’s traveling youth via Fiji in Aussie land

Bonus Post 3: MAORI HIJAB KOROWAI CLOAK Leadership – Like Maori legends who walk for justice

Hollywood Media Outlets covering Dame Elizabeth Taylor’s epic contribution to Hollywood culture and the world today as she crossed her finishing line too are - E!: Hollywood News; Hollywood Reporter; Access Hollywood;Hollywood.Com; ET Online; Deadline.Com; Celebrity Gossip; Young Hollywood.

ASIAN MODEL IN A BONE CORSET – FASHION STYLISTS PIPE UP WITH COMMENTARY

25 Mar

In the New York Times Arts section today, here’s what you see. Cheeky – all at the expense of the model’s breath intake ability being a bit impaired in this bone lined corset.

Oh, this is my Lady Gaga’s fan post today, as Thierry Mugler sends a message to Stefani Germanotta of America’s fanbase, to Gaga’s stylist Nicola Formichetti in this image.

People need to share more. It’s about resources distribution, taking one’s budget waist line in, to perhaps make resources go around more fairly. Star anythings, can be a bit hoggish. It’s about the collective is Mugler’s statement perhaps.

THE ART OF SPIRITUAL WEAPONRY

20 Mar

“For the weapons of our warfare are not of this world. They are mighty through God, to the tearing down of strongholds.*”–Paul The Apostle General on demobilizing death grip systems that enslave and dehumanize good peoples Life.

Pray.

* a stronghold is a tower, city, nation, corporation, imagined community et al, secret (or open) society, built on the foundation of a lie or series of deceptions and manipulations.

ADAGIO FOR STRINGS – PALM TREE @ MOONLIGHT – 3.18.11

19 Mar

Beautiful is the moon, rising over a Fairfax Hollywood palm in black of night.

Regal is the crown of the tree, like liberty light sustained ‘neath moon’s full glow.

AEROPLANES JAPAN ART VIA NYC AND FIVE THINGS – FRI 3.18.11

18 Mar

Thunderbolts beneath horses hooves cantering, racing through my subconscious blocking out Lululemon brutality carried on  cafe phone talk air. Basketball hoops go George Mason‘s way over Villanova. That was an upset in the sports world.

Alright – here’s five things we’re looking at and sharing right now in Hollywood.

1. Fergie, Josh Duhamel & a Miami Dolphins fan

2. Japan in crises should be LA drive time tolerance tutors

3. Gerard Butler has a word for cancer awareness

4. In St Barts one NYE, Beyonce thought she was at The Box in Soho..oops!

5. Guy Sebastian & Jordin Sparks rocked St Patricks Day in Hollywood

Two pics – Aeroplane Art by Yamaguchi Akira’s “Narita International Airport: Various Curious Scenes of Airplanes, 2005” is in this show at Japan Society. More Photos. The work is part of anxiety on the fault line as displayed in New York and curated by David Elliott. NY Times pic.

Elliott writes “In a densely urbanized, highly stratified society situated in the heart of an earthquake zone, the fear that the worst could easily happen lies at the back of many minds.” “The exhibition is called Bye Bye Kitty!!! Between Heaven and Hell in Contemporary Japanese Art,” a piquant exhibition of dark-minded work at Japan Society and a kickoff event for Asia Week, was conceived as a sharp counterweight to the cult of cuteness — kawaii — that has been Japan’s dominant aesthetic for decades.

This bridge pic of the Armagh Street Bridge is one of the most prettiest bridge views in the world, down in Christchurch, The Garden City, courtesy of the NZ Herald. The way the willows weep down towards the water, like old Japanese people bowed in prayer for the life of the young in their care. This was the bridge close to home, that I would stand and pray on after works some nights. Rarely… it was far much more fun to feed the ducks and swans on it, actually! Prayer is always work as you wrestle from spirit gut terrains. There’s someone missing in this picture, like a butterfly. Rouge and black silhouette.
