Uncivil Servants

 The breaking line is where I walk, or where I sometimes think I do.  On the breaking line you can hear things getting ready to crack, the ground, the walls of air, the sealing sky.  Other people walk here but I don’t see them.  The lines are always somewhere else, they never cross.  No lines cross, no figures loom, all are alone on the breaking line.

Whattup MelBURN

Despite my ramblings and moaning mourning of Californian sun, Sardegna villas and Parisian Nutella crepe hawker vans versus another damn taco truck, I do love this city, very much, it's family and I will always call it home.

So let's all chuckle at the gold that is the when in Melbourne Tumblr.

The Architect and the Painter

After seeing the incredibly cool and very well designed California Design, 1930–1965: "Living in a Modern Way" exhibition at LACMA and then purchasing the equally inspiring catalogue, catching this doco was a no brainer.  There are now only a few days left to catch the insightful, sweet and inspiring doco on Charels and Ray Eames - Eames: The Architect and The Painter at ACMI and I highly recommend it.
 

From architecture and art to film making and industrial design, these guys made magic.  

 Winner of the San Francisco International Film Festival Award, 1958, this portrayal of the Mexican Day of the Dead consists of still shots reflecting the annual Mexican celebration of “All Souls Day”.

I ask you - who else would design a kite of this caliber?
