Untitled - II
One uncut sheet, of folded paper
Designed and folded by Alexander Soukas
This piece was part of a commission I did for an exhibit at the Dana Hall School entitled, "Paper." This piece in particular was constructed as a demo as part of a lecture and class. I realize I haven't uploaded anything origami related in ages! Don't think that I haven't been designing - there's more where this came from!
Aos que ja me conhecem dos meus dois antigos flickrs, devem lembrar das series que costumava postar neles, ainda não tenho certeza se farei novamente estas series, mas gostaria de homenagear a memoria de um BRASILEIRO que apesar de sido mencionado diversas vezes em nossas salas de aula, não tem sua historia conhecida.
Um dos personagens da historia brasileira que mais admiro, vou tentar aos poucos postando sobre sua vida...

Dom Pedro de Alcântara João Carlos Leopoldo Salvador Bibiano Francisco Xavier de Paula Leocádio Miguel Gabriel Rafael Gonzaga de Bragança e Habsburgo, chamado O Magnânimo (Rio de Janeiro, 2 de dezembro de 1825 — Paris, 5 de dezembro de 1891) foi o segundo e último Imperador do Brasil de facto.
D. Pedro II foi o sétimo filho de Dom Pedro I e da arquiduquesa Dona Leopoldina de Áustria. Sucedeu ao seu pai, que abdicara em seu favor para retomar a coroa de Portugal, à qual renunciara em nome da filha mais velha, D. Maria da Glória. Pelo lado paterno, era sobrinho de Miguel I de Portugal, enquanto, pelo lado materno, sobrinho de Napoleão Bonaparte e primo dos imperadores Napoleão II da França, Francisco José I da Áustria e Maximiliano I do México. Sendo o irmão mais novo de D. Maria da Glória, também fora tio de D. Pedro V e D. Luís I, reis de Portugal.
Herdeiro do trono
D. Pedro de Alcântara João Carlos Leopoldo Salvador Bibiano Francisco Xavier de Paula Leocádio Miguel Gabriel Rafael Gonzaga nasceu no Paço de São Cristóvão, na capital brasileira, Rio de Janeiro, em 2 de dezembro de 1825, filho de D. Pedro I, imperador do Brasil e Dona Maria Leopoldina da Áustria, arquiduquesa da Áustria.
Seu nascimento foi comemorado com festas durante três dias no Rio de Janeiro. Sendo o único filho homem do Imperador dom Pedro I a sobreviver à infância, tornou-se o herdeiro da coroa imperial do Brasil, com o título de Príncipe Imperial. Mas tornou-se órfão de mãe com pouco mais de um ano de idade e na infância, o visconde de Barbacena o considerou um “menino magrinho e muito amarelo”, e que sofria constantemente de febres e ataques convulsivos. Do pai, recebeu carinho e afeto, revelando uma grande ternura pelo filho e dizia com orgulho: “Meu filho tem sobre mim a vantagem de ser brasileiro”. Verdadeiramente, o pequeno príncipe era antes um símbolo, por ser considerado “genuinamente brasileiro”.

A group of people in the hall where the Amanda Williams exhibit of painted houses hangs. I do not know if this discussion has anything to do with the exhibit.
I told myself that I would someday rebuild the Mistral. So here she is, the Mistral II. Better than the original and based on the Paris World's Fair 1855 Exhibition on top of Eiffel Tower like iron work. She carries 5 propeller assisted ornithopter fighters with gatling guns and 5 auto gyro bombers.

Behistun I & II
The 2 side by side Parthian era rock relieves known as Behistun I aka Mithridate II’s audience (Left), and Behistun II aka Gotarzes II’s victory over Meherdate were carved down the rocky cliff already hosting Darius’s the Great's stone record .
Behistun I (123-88/87 BCE) has been about completely erased in 1684 by a the carving of an inscription written in Persian, paying tribute to a Safavid local governor. From the initial panel, we can just distinguish a character and 2 caped silhouettes on the left, and a Greek inscription above. Fortunately a Drawing by French traveller Guillaume-Joseph Grelot in 1673 let us know how this relief looked like. On the right, King Mithridate II standing, overlooks 4 noblemen, may be some of his satraps. The king hails his hand up with 2 sticky fingers, some of the other characters hold some objects, one being probably a cup, another being a Nikë, Greek divinity testifying as the above inscription, of the Greek influences the Parthian art included from the Seleucids.
Behistun II has been carved later, during the reign of king Gotarzes II, and was intended to remind and celebrate his victory against his rival Meherdate. The relief was badly damaged by erosion. It shows an equestrian assault: Gotarzes, riding a horse is followed by 2 other knights, and kills an enemy with his lance, blowing the unfortunate off his horse. Again, the Greek divinity Nikê is represented above the scene. Such relief, clearly inspired the Sasanian later iconography, as many sasanian rock relief show a similar scene: such as Bahram II at naqsh-e Rostam VII.

Winchester Cathedral Crypt
This superb low-vaulted stone crypt, which floods in rainy months, dates from the 11th century, the earliest phase of building the Cathedral. Here you’ll find Antony Gormley’s mysterious life-size sculpture of a solitary man, Sound II, sometimes standing up to its knees in water.

King Rameses II was also known as Ozymandias in Greek which, in the balance of things, are two pretty impressive names. He is often regarded as one of the greatest, most celebrated and most powerful pharaohs of the Egyptian Empire. A feat which I think we can all agree is pretty special considering the history books are littered with failed, feared and hated kings.
So that, in a nuthsell, was my inspiration for this little number. I came across the idea whilst doing a bit of 'research' (or, more accurately, viewing random articles on wikipedia) during a slow afternoon when i came across the big man. You might say "That isn't research" but you'd be wrong. Strictly speaking I was just amusing myself on the internet but inspiration strikes when we least expect it and i've read some pretty amazing stuff pressing the random article button. So therefore it was work. Sometimes something a bit different can recharge the old tanks. As it happens I also know a crow called Rameses but that is a different story entirely...
Cheers

QE II, a waterfront venue pub and bistro, is also a hotspot for morning shooting in Penang. In contrast of its happening at night, morning at QE II had shown endless calmness.
Weather was not too bad when we arrived at the spot but as the sun rises, stormy cloud gradually cover the whole sky. The side lit QEII has a golden tone that stand out very well in this moody scene

The Bradley GT II is a US built fiberglass coupe based on the VW Beetle. There was a "I" version, more primitive and simple, which was pretty succesful with 6000 cars built, and in the early 80ies came the GT II with a more advanced design, generally a different car. Only some 500 were made before the company went bankrupt.
UNDER ARMOR # II
Here’s another one of those productions that was a long time in the making. Originally Holley and I talked about doing this shoot about three or four years ago. Life, logistics, and time like in most cases found their way into the equation. So here we are a few years later showing off what hard work and dedication can accomplish. I can honestly say that everyone on set felt the URGENT NEED to go and work out afterwards! Holley you rocked this shoot. I can’t wait for the next one!
Check back for the third shot in the series!
