Been working on a thing. Not quite done. But just thought I’d say ahoy.

AHOY MY PERCEPTIVE PARSNIPS!!! 

I’ve been salt mining away on a Squarespace. Not to worry I’m not transmigrating my soul away I think it’s just a thing I need to make. 

Yay things!

Hope you are all well and hey if things could be better butter let me wish you cats,bats, and, rats…And okay, at least one penguin and turtle.

ANIMAL PALS!

Hello every bun! Here’s wishing you a Hoppy Bun Chocolate Overdose Day/Zombie Jesus Day/Regular Easter!

Hare-shaped Bronze Koro (incense burner). Muromachi - Momoyama Period (16th. Century). This little thing that so cute it breaks my feels sold at Christies auction for just under $60k USD. The price reserve was 20k so I guess the price just kept going and going and going. ENERGIZER KORO!!!

Les créations de l’artiste australienne Emma Hack, basée à Adelaide, qui utilise un subtil mélange d’installations Body Painting et de photographie pour camoufler ses modèles dans des motifs complexes, inspirés de l’art de la tapisserie ou de la porcelaine, ou au contraire les souligner grâce à des compositions pop et colorées.

Translate:

Adelaide based artist Emma Hack uses a subtle mix of photography and body painting in her installations to camouflage her models in complex motifs from…[Chinese]…ceramics and textiles, or conversely, highlight them in pop are compositions.

佚名 - 仙鹤仕女

Unknown Artist

And the top part reads: Anonymous, Crane Women. 

I found this on an auction site here though *MISFORTUNE* I don’t happen to be Mandarin literate and Google translate function only gets you so far. Maybe some of you will get more out of the link than I did.  

The only thing I can gleen is it is on paper not silk so it is post Song. But the translation implies silk despite it looking paper-y. However, on the auction site there is a lot more historical damage on it then what is shown here-like that massive crease mark across -Let’s just call her Ms. Peony- Ms. Peony’s head. Thus I can only say: Maybe she’s born with it … Maybe it’s photoshop. Cause I mean shoot that’s a forehead line that I don’t even think Botox could lay out flat. I guess that’s why IMO guys if you’re into collecting guys go do it IRL cause seeing is believing. Or if you’re balling: send someone for you who knows their Owls from their Fowls.

And I totally think the two figures are all like : GO HOME CRANE YOU ARE DRUNK. Also how on trend is that back pack?! #WANT Also how modern does that be-backpacked figure looks. Even though not, my knee-jerk reaction is she looks quite 30′s.

That backpack though.

BRUH THIS CONTRAPTION!!

Portrait of an Armoured Warrior Taking the Field by Bicycle. Tetsuya Noguchi.Painting. 2008

Tetsuya Noguchi is a contemporary artist whose main subject is the totally beasted out Samurai interacting with contemporary settings. Most of Noguchi’s work features sculptures. So for ex. you can click here to see his Chanel Samurai whose armour is playfully made of Plastic (Because Fun Fact: They were typically made out of steel and leather with lacquer too. Check out O.G Asian Art Museum’s conservation article here). 

It is particularly clever because -well I’m sure you shiny lot already know- that the Samurai is a recurring trope in fiction and movies and the like. They are adapting to fight another day, they don’t carry swords any more but… You know that kind of thing. You know that  well used euphemism: Modern Day Warrior referencing that Business person, or like the disaffected Millennial (Read:me or you. RONINS FTW). This just came to me as I’ve been clickety clacking this out but I can’t quite remember who said it but it was something like this “Samurai are on the edge of fiction and reality”.  Apt because you know they carry swords. You know what? I’m going to say it was in my intro to Japanese Culture class where we watched Ghost Dog after this Samurai lecture. Which you should watch. I liked it.

Nevertheless, it’s about adaptation and adapting to your circumstances. It’s fitting in and not fitting in.This makes my day so much.I’m truly such a clumsy clod it’s kindof comforting to see something I associate with composure trying to regulate. It’s the underlying message of you can do this too man but you know the struggle is real.

This is an amazing ad campaign and features cool 3D printing. This also particularly appeals to me because I am a proud Whisky sipper.

‪#Fbf to that time Vincent Price said some pretty nice things about our Avery Brundage collection and the de Young Museum in the 1966 documentary film “Great American Museums: The ‘De Young’ in San Francisco”. SPOILER ALERT: He doesn’t drop our Chinese porcelain vase with floral scrolls from 1300–1400.

Speaking of killer Chinese ceramics, we are open all weekend so come on in and see why Mr. Price was so delighted by our collection.

Watch the entire film here.
Learn more about the vase here.
