I remember this pattern from a 'best and worst fashion' newspaper story. In it was a photo of Cate Blanchett taken in the late '90's or early 2000's, proving she looked wonderful in anything - including what looked like a tablecloth like this. Bit more blue, certainly. Could have been her eyes.
Anyway, Australian fashion label Romance Was Born is celebrating its 20th, projecting highlights of designs by Ken Done, Del Kathryn Barton, Jenny Kee, Jonathan Zawada and others, in collab with creative studio Supergiant for this great display on Customs House at Vivid.
Visiting the indigene exposition... The objective is to present customs of the daily life and ritual of the indigene/aboriginal peoples who inhabit different indigene lands in the Brazilian region known as Oiapoque, in the extremity north of the country, in the state of Amapá.
This is the first room, when we enter the "foyer" in the first floor of the old mansion.

Enchanted Sydney by Spinifex Group projected images of Sydney’s flora and fauna onto Customs House. The images morph from aquatic culture to flora and fauna (I liked the ladybirds) and then to acorn-hoarding dwarves, one of whom escapes into space. Easily one of the highlights of this year's Vivid.
Customs House
This is Customs House in Liverpool (one of the "3 graces") in the late Sunset light. It is hard to capture how magnificent these buildings look in the red glow of the Sunset. - I don't know why customs needs a house in Liverpool. I have usually found people's customs on the street, you know, like shaking hands or rubbing noses in greeting etc. Maybe I have the wrong idea there - LOL!
Just been again to New Zealand visiting family for a few days and had a few moments to sketch. (second trip in a month) Timaru has an interesting old port with quite a few old warehouse buildings. I liked this little huddle of warehouses across a gap to the handsome very solid Customs House.
"Leo Weingartner, Cor. Sixth and Central Avenue, Cincinnati, O."
She is wearing a large-link chain and cross made of gutta percha. These large statement pieces here all the rage in the 1870s.

It was pure serendipity that lead me to spend two nights in the historic little city of Maryborough, in Southern Queensland, Australia.
Built in 1899, this beautiful heritage-listed building with its terracotta-clad Dutch-gabled roof now houses a Portside heritage interpretative centre. On the corner opposite, you can see the quirky stainless steel, bronze, copper, and electro-mechanical match-making machine – an installation by artist Russell Anderson.

In Denver, I learned about things besides Spanish colonial art, the reason for the visit.
I also learned that the orange things strung across the street are callled "jerseys," and they were on display in honor of a group of men called the "Denver Bronchos." Evidently the Bronchos had brought fame upon the city by winning the "Super Bowl," a contest in the sport called "football."
That must be the reason why a busy man like the mayor of Denver greets users of the airport trains with the recorded cheer "Go Bronchos!"

Customs House is a building located on Queen Street by the Brisbane River in Brisbane, Queensland, Australia. It was originally used for the collection of customs duty and was both completed and opened in 1889, when Queensland was a British colony... Customs House is a Brisbane landmark known for its distinctive copper dome. The building was designed by Charles McLay of the Queensland Colonial Architect's Office.
The building became redundant when port facilities moved to the Port of Brisbane at the mouth of the Brisbane River, resulting in its closure in April 1988. The building is now leased by the University of Queensland and was refurbished between 1991 and 1994, at a cost of A$7.5 million.

For anyone that’s ever made it to Milan, you’ve no doubt spent at least a bit of time within the magnificent Galleria Vittorio Emanuele II, the famous, arcaded mall adjacent to the equally-famous, equally-magnificent Milan Duomo, between the Piazza del Duomo and the Teatro alla Scala.
And if you’ve been within the Galleria, you likely have heard of the timeless curiosity that is the tradition of stepping on the bull’s balls. Inside the Galleria, located on the ground within an octagonal floor pattern, is a tiled mosaic depicting a bull which is reared up onto his hind legs. The tradition is that if a person puts their right heel on the bull’s testicular region and “turn on himself three times,” which is to actually rotate backwards, or counterclockwise, this will bring good luck. This practice has led to a bit of damage, and a hole has formed showing where the bull receives his daily punishment.
So, what’s the story behind it? Well, most people (especially the Milano locals) say that this tradition is simply a tourist one, that you would never find a local that did this. This might very well be true for the most part, but having friends who are native to Milan, I can say that it is not entirely so; locals may do it, though you may see them pass by nonchalantly, step on the balls without even looking and deftly give it a quick grind as they continue to walk, never breaking stride.
The bull is actually the centerpiece of the Turin Coat of Arms. Turin, or Torino, was one of the most prominent Italian cities, and their symbol is the bull, because Torino literally means “young bull.” (There are the coats of arms of three other prominent Italian cities located nearby – Milan, Florence, and Rome.) As for the story, well, it appears to have been lost to time; Milan’s own tourism portal can’t even say for certain. But at least this tradition appears to be alive for quite awhile further!

Microtron bodies are tough to paint...it probably would be too much blue but I'd like to see the one on left with a blue body.
Creeper (completely new), Jean-Paul Valley (new torso, head and armour), and Nightwing (new weapons). Credit goes out to Legoman685 for Creeper.
I may not be super active in the coming weeks as I'm moving. I'll try to get as much done as possible though :)

汇丰银行大楼(Left: HSBC)，指香港上海汇丰银行于1923年至1955年在中国上海的分行大楼，位于上海外滩12号，又名市府大楼，今天是上海浦东发展银行的总部驻地。1921年5月5日大楼开工，1923年6月23日建成，被认为是中国近代西方古典主义建筑的最高杰作。大楼的设计者是著名的英资建筑设计机构公和洋行（Palmer ＆ Turner Architects and Surveyors）。
江海关，Customs House, Shanghai(right)。清代始设负责对外贸易实务的行政官署，前身为市舶司，现在为中华人民共和国上海海关。江海关于清康熙二十四年，始设于上海松江府华亭县境内的漴阙（今上海市奉贤区境内漴缺），后移驻上海县城宝带门内。现在位于上海外滩13号，毗邻英商香港上海汇丰银行大楼。
1925年江海关投资430万两白银建造新大楼时，税务司和海关监督决心重造一只全国最大、世界闻名的大钟。两年后，海关大钟与大楼同时建成。海关大钟由英国Whitchurch公司设计制造，总造价为5000多两白银，1927年制成，同年8月从伦敦运到上海，原包装木箱连同大钟共重6.25吨，把6吨多重的大木箱吊到72米多高的钟楼时，外滩马路行人都停步观望之吊装奇景。
