The question was posed: What is your favorite handmade gift you have received? There are a couple. The first is already packed -- it's a hand-drawn birthday card presented to me during a trip through the UK. And this is another. A handwritten scroll given to me after a successful battle against cancer. It reads:
If God would choose a plant to represent him, I think he would choose of all plants the cactus. The cactus has all the blessings he tried, but mostly failed, to give to man. Let me tell you how. It has humility, but it is not submissive. It grows where no other plant will grow. It does not complain when the sun bakes it back or the wing tears it from the cliff or drowns it in the dry sand of the desert or when it is thirsty. When the rain comes it stores water for the hard times to come. In good times and in bad it will still flower. It protects itself against danger, but it harms no other plant. It adapts perfectly to almost any environment. It has patience and enjoys solitude. In Mexico there is a cactus that flowers only once every hundred years and at night. This is saintliness of an extraordinary kind, would you not agree? The cactus has properties that heal the wounds of men and from it come potions that can make man touch the face of God or stare into the mouth of hell. It is the plant of patience and solitude, love and madness, ugliness and beauty, toughness and gentleness. Of all plants, surely God made the cactus in his own image?

Milo is the most recently appointed Partner in Law firm Windsor & Maverick. Hot shot Milo impressed Senior Partner and law firm founder Callum Windsor with his razor sharp intelligence, prodigious ability to digest copious amounts of complex text and his charismatic courtroom style. When Milo was headhunted by a rival firm, Callum offered him a partnership role and an enticing Golden Handshake (enough to make Milo turn down the rival offer) Sergio is new to the firm, just arrived. His fashionable yet quirky style (city pinstripes with mountain hiking/ski boots) and personable charm has made him the office darling. But what the office doesn't know (yet) is that Milo and Sergio are in a long term relationship which started in law school... will they keep it a secret or let everyone know?

Holi, das „Fest der Farben“, hat seinen Ursprung in Indien und wird jedes Jahr gefeiert, um den Frühling zu begrüßen. Die Menschen versammeln sich zu Tausenden und werfen buntes Pulver, den sogenannten „Gulal“, sowie gefärbtes Wasser in die Luft. Traditionell sind an diesem Tag alle Schranken durch Status, Geschlecht, Alter und Kaste aufgehoben. Holi gilt als eines der ältesten und farbenfrohesten Feste der Welt, das inzwischen auch außerhalb Indiens immer beliebter wird.
Die HOLI GAUDY Festival-Tour ist die europäische Variante des indischen Frühlingsfestes und geht ab dem 01. Mai 2015 zum dritten Mal auf große Tournee. Präsentiert von RTL II und Diginights stehen in diesem Jahr über 20 Termine in Deutschland und der Schweiz auf dem Tourkalender. Getreu dem Motto „Colour Your Day“ lädt die HOLI GAUDY Festival-Tour die Besucher ein, gemeinsam mit hochkarätigen Musik-Acts, das große Farbspektakel zu feiern.

HOLI GAUDY Festival, Hoppegarten racecourse, Berlin 2015
Holi, the “festival of colors”, has its origins in India and is celebrated every year to welcome spring. People gather in their thousands and throw colored powder, known as “gulal”, and colored water into the air. Traditionally, all barriers of status, gender, age and caste are removed on this day. Holi is considered one of the oldest and most colorful festivals in the world and is now becoming increasingly popular outside India.
The HOLI GAUDY Festival Tour is the European version of the Indian spring festival and will be going on tour for the third time from May 1, 2015. Presented by RTL II and Diginights, over 20 dates in Germany and Switzerland are on the tour calendar this year. True to the motto “Colour Your Day”, the HOLI GAUDY festival tour invites visitors to celebrate the great color spectacle together with top-class music acts.

Today the Jodo Mission of Hawaii saw the return of its hand-painted Japanese hanging scroll. At least 60 years old and the second largest such artifact in Hawaii, it was fully restored by skilled Japanese artisans under the direction of Japan Memorial Corporation's Tatsuji Maeda, who presented the restoration work to the Jodo Mission board this morning. This prized artwork will be carefully stored and only displayed in the temple maybe twice a year. I'd love to hear from anyone who knows more about these scrolls, it was certainly an education for us (and a substantial investment).
This is one of the Qumran caves, in which the now famous "Dead Sea Scrolls" were found between 1947 and 1956.
Ethnic and truly royal this beautiful scroll design gives you the real treat of beauty. Stitched around shining golden bars and tied by a silk tassel, the card is customizable in terms of border, text and design. The card is contained in an velvet pouch having zari lace and handwork with an envelop for postage.

Aus Dosen und Kanistern, Computerschrott und anderem Abfall hatte er sie zusammengesetzt und auf eine lange Reise geschickt. Seit 1996 ziehen sein Trash People um die Welt. "Es sind alles Stationen, die auf die Geschichte der Welt Einfluss genommen haben", sagt der 66-jährige Aktionskünstler. Auf der Chinesischen Mauer, an den Pyramiden von Gizeh, auf dem Roten Platz in Moskau, aber auch in 2800 Metern Höhe am Matterhorn oder in 880 Meter Tiefe im möglichen Atomendlager Gorleben baute er seine Müllmenschen auf.
HA Schult gilt als Provokateur der Gegenwartskunst, als wilder Wolf, der wachrütteln will: Er ist der erste europäische Künstler, der den Müll und die Umwelt zu seinen Hauptthemen machte und durch schonungslose, fast aggressive Inszenierungen bekannt wurde. "Nur an starke Bilder erinnern sich die Leute", so beschrieb Schult in der Vergangenheit immer wieder die Intention seines Wirkens. Zu diesem künstlerischen Credo passen auch die "Trash-People".
Er ist ein Umweltkünstler der ersten Stunde. "Alles ist eine globale Welt geworden, und diese Globalisierung symbolisieren die Trash People mit ihrer Reise", sagt der Wahlkölner. "Die Entwicklung des ökologischen Ungleichgewichts wurde von uns Künstlern sehr früh aufgenommen", sagt Schult. Und auch seine "Trash People", die in Köln "Cologne People" heißen und aus Kölner Müll gefertigt wurden, seien ein Resultat dieser Entwicklung. "Auf dem Müll landet die Kehrseite des Wohlstands", lautet Schults Credo.
Trash People. In zwanzig Containern streifen sie wie Flüchtlinge der Konsumgesellschaft durch die Welt. Die Trash People sind Bilder von uns selbst. Wir produzieren Müll und wir werden zu Müll. Die Coca-Cola-Flasche von heute ist der römische archäologische Fund von morgen.
Die Armen sammeln den Müll der Reichen, die Ärmeren sammeln den Müll der Armen. Und die Ärmsten graben ein Loch in der Sahara, um sich am hungrigen Feuer des Mülls zu wärmen. Über allem liegt die schwarze Schallwolke der bellenden Höllenhunde. Am Ende wird es von Sand bedeckt sein und ein Jahr später wird dort ein Golfhotel gebaut werden. HA Schult, 1999
Die Trash People starteten ihren Zug um die Welt 1996 in Xanten und machten Station in Paris und Moskau (1999), Peking und an der Chinesischen Mauer (2001). Danach wurden sie in Kairo und Gizeh (2002), Zermatt (2003), Kilkenny Castle (2003), Gorleben (2004) und 2005 in Brüssel ausgestellt.
Vom 21. April bis zum 01. Mai 2006 sind die eintausend 1,80 m großen, aus Müll gepressten Figuren auf dem Roncalliplatz vor dem Kölner Dom zu sehen. Danach ziehen die Figuren weiter in den New Yorker Central Park und in die Antarktis.

Trash People by HA Schult, Cologne
He put them together from cans and canisters, computer scrap and other waste and sent them on a long journey. His Trash People have been traveling the world since 1996. "They are all stations that have had an impact on the history of the world," says the 66-year-old performance artist. He has set up his trash people on the Great Wall of China, at the pyramids of Giza, on Red Square in Moscow, but also at an altitude of 2,800 meters on the Matterhorn or at a depth of 880 meters in the possible Gorleben nuclear repository.
HA Schult is regarded as a provocateur of contemporary art, a wild wolf who wants to shake things up: he is the first European artist to make waste and the environment his main themes and to become known for his unsparing, almost aggressive stagings. "People only remember strong images," is how Schult has repeatedly described the intention of his work in the past. The "Trash People" also fit in with this artistic credo.
He is an environmental artist from the very beginning. "Everything has become a global world, and the Trash People symbolize this globalization with their journey," says the Cologne resident. "The development of ecological imbalance was taken up by us artists very early on," says Schult. And his "Trash People", which are called "Cologne People" in Cologne and are made from Cologne's garbage, are also a result of this development. "The flip side of prosperity ends up in the trash," is Schult's credo.
Trash People. They roam the world in twenty containers like refugees from consumer society. The Trash People are images of ourselves. We produce trash and we become trash. Today's Coca-Cola bottle is tomorrow's Roman archaeological find.
The poor collect the garbage of the rich, the poorer collect the garbage of the poor. And the poorest dig a hole in the Sahara to warm themselves by the hungry fire of the garbage. Above it all lies the black sonic cloud of barking hellhounds. In the end it will be covered in sand and a year later a golf hotel will be built there. HA Schult, 1999
The Trash People started their tour around the world in Xanten in 1996 and made stops in Paris and Moscow (1999), Beijing and at the Great Wall of China (2001). They were then exhibited in Cairo and Giza (2002), Zermatt (2003), Kilkenny Castle (2003), Gorleben (2004) and in Brussels in 2005.
From April 21 to May 01, 2006, the one thousand 1.80 m tall figures pressed from garbage can be seen on Roncalliplatz in front of Cologne Cathedral. The figures will then move on to New York's Central Park and Antarctica.

Something I've started for school, looks incomplete as hell at the moment but I'm planning to draw a girl leting go of the pigeon, it's meant to be a screenprint for a poster advertising the course anyway so hopefully it will be okay, also it's my second attempt at using the wacom which explains my wonkyness.
Are you fascinated with those scrolling letters you see in some restaurant, barber shops, cafe’s, bookstores etc? Are you like me who will wait until the whole scrolling thing ends and see what’s the message behind those letters? Well those are the scrolling led signs.
