Benjamin Skepper - Stunning Performance Installation

This guy is amazing. I love him!! He's a work of art himself. And his music is gorgeous. He's also very handsome - a cross between Johnny Depp and Prince, that adds to the whole delightful package.

Check this video out. What an outfit, love love love it. It's the performance installation for Museo del Novecento Milano Italy.

So this stunning and talented chap is Australian. He has a Japanese Mum and Australian Dad. He plays harpsichord, vacuum cleaner (ya), cello, all sorts. He started playing classical music very young. Was immersed in it from two years old, and by ten he was playing Mozart internationally.

His photo shoot for Rolling Stone (Russia). Devine! Dreams are made of this!!

Some pretty quirky characters

How gorgeous are these quirky characters? Drawn/painted on paper and wood. These are from (Kiwi) Alaina Hind’s illustrative series ”Escape from Lonely Wood”. They are totally gorgeous. Etherial, fanciful and utterly captivating.

Something a little different... my yoga teacher Godfri Devereux

Found a few videos of Godfri - who I've studied with full time for many many months. I love his talks, and thought I'd share the videos here.  ;-)

Inviting us to challenge our assumptions.

I made wine from the lilac tree

Dr. Martens is celebrating their 50th anniversary. They asked 10 artists to record their version of a cult classic track that represents the spirit of the people who’ve worn DM’s over the past 50 years.

One of the songs selected was The Cinematic Orchestra’s rendition of the classic, “Lilac Wine,” made popular in the early 90s by Jeff Buckley.

Blind was asked to direct the video, which would not include talent, but was given no other creative parameters. Inspired by Spencerian Calligraphy this stunning video is the result.

Two of my fav people. Richard Dawkins interviews Deepak Chopra.

Now I can't ask for more than this; Deepak Chopra and Richard Dawkins talking about quantum physics.

A few disagreements, but great conversation between two very clever thinkers with very different points of view. It's an excerpt, so very short, though still a fascinating combination.
