Shooting at Mary’s Newtown


Slayer?


Now I get it! Not sure what it is but I’ll be ordering it next time!


Toilets.


Got to see Lachlan Bruce’s helmet. Very cool!


Mary’s from the mezzanine.


Take 1!

Nervous? Sure, but she did really well.


Larry Bird? Whatever that is I want it.


Filming Nana’s helmet design (which is a work in progress).


The image on the screen was amazeballs. So nicely graded.


Lots of art on the walls at Mary’s. I love the vibe of the place, love the building too.

Spent the day helping Nanami out today. She’s been working hard on her helmet piece for Harley-Davidson, and today she had to be at Mary’s in Newtown to shoot a teaser video for the show (which will be held at Mary’s in 2 weeks!).

Massive tease to finally get to Mary’s and not have any friend chicken!!! They weren’t open during filming unfortunately.

Shoot went well but everything else was just nuts. I had the wrong car for starters (the MX-5), nothing fit in the car so we had to have art hanging out the boot (and we made do with a shoe lace to hold the boot down!), the exhaust is so damn broken that it’s now hanging low and scraping on absolutely everything and to not ruin Nana’s hair we had to drive with the top up (no aircon and a stinking hot day = sweaty goodness!).

The exhaust falling apart stressed me out so much that I had to drop in to High Tech mufflers after a quick bite at The Grounds (finally got to check it out! Loved it but had the camera buried in the boot, will have to drop in again some time soon). Booked in to fix it tomorrow morning!

Nanami Process Pics

Nanami’s working on something automotive related! Can’t give away too much, but here are a couple of sneaky shots I snapped earlier this morning.

Lost At E Minor party


Headed down to the Lost At E Minor party last Thursday night which was held in a lane way in Haymarket.


Extreme Gelati DJs were banging out great tunes, artist James Jirat Patrodoon splattered the walls with fluoro work (some of it animated too).


Must get James to save me a few of these prints for Zen Garage!


This guy was doing haircuts in the corner. Bizarre?! I’ve been meaning to get a haircut lately. Not had one since I was 15… thinking short back and sides for a change, but wasn’t man enough to get it done on the night!


These refreshing Milagro drinks went down WAY too easy.

Maroubra Beach to Bondi Beach Coastal Walk

Spent the glorious day in the sun with Jess today. We thought we’d do the coastal walk from Maroubra Beach to Coogee, but ended up going all the way through to Bondi Beach (then then Bondi Junction to catch a bus back home!!!).


Lurline Bay.


Hey Jess!


Serious rock hopping.


Don’t touch my flowers… please.


Lots of nice houses to admire.


Love these wooden walkways over the marsh areas close to Coogee Beach.


Coogee Beach.


Gordons Bay.


Clovelly Beach.


Waverly Cemetary.


Rock wall walk into Bronte Beach.


Bronte Beach.


Tamarama Beach.


And whoo hoo! 4hrs later we made it to Bondi Beach!

James Blake at the Opera House


Blake whipped out the grand for the encore.

I saw James Blake perform live at the Opera House last night. I love Retrograde (in contention for song of the year for me), but I hadn’t really heard much more of his other stuff. I knew he was a pretty amazing muso (it’s the long fingers!) so I knew I was in for a treat, that and the fact that I’d never seen a concert at the amazing Opera House before.

Jess got us awesome seats with an amazing view (luckily Blake was on our side of the stage), the sound in the Opera House was bang on and makes me want to see more live acts there. Blake was great too. I’m officially a fan.

Miles’ 2nd B’day Party


My sister Jamie outdoes herself every time!

Unfortunately Fuel 4 Charity and my nephews 2nd B’day Party clashed. I ended up dropping in to Miles’ party early, then headed off to Fuel 4 Charity afterwards. I got Miles a massive fire truck (it’s almost bigger than him!). He loved it :)

13 Rooms


Human revolving door was a lot of fun to walk through.


Claustrophobic!


Hirst’s trippy piece was the first room, and damn it was a great way to get into the show.

Caught up with an old College Of Fine Arts friend Carla yesterday and we checked out 13 Rooms which brings together 13 big name Artists (Marina Abramović and Damien Hirst to name a few) and more than 100 performers to present a group exhibition of ‘living sculpture’ within 13 purpose-built rooms.

Interactive. I love this kind of art! Having to walk through a door, and not knowing what you’re going to get on the other side of it. Brilliant and totally immersive.

It’s free, and it ends this weekend so get in there before you miss it. More details: http://kaldorartprojects.org.au/13rooms
