If you needed more proof that people in those inflatable T-Rex costumes are the purest form of entertainment, look no further than the hero who ran the American Ninja Warrior course in one.
It’s Monday, back to the routine

Mindbogglingly wrong, and a tad creepy
The Party Doll Geisha Tomoko is without doubt the most unusual Orient Industry sex doll available. Not only does she look ravishing, you can squeeze her exquisite right breast and then the drink stored in the table compartment will come out of her left breast. Orient Industry has created a sex doll that is also a drink dispenser: the perfect party hostess.

But wait, there’s more! They have a demonstration video! Complete with the waaaay-too-practiced pervy japanese Colonel Sanders:
What happens in Vittel stays in Vittel
… or, how do you eat an elephant?… or the project monkey… or the angry panda… or MS Project seppuku… It’s been a while since I laughed so much in one evening.
Kodo!
It finally happened! After years of wanting to see them, I have finally seen Kodo perform live and it so lived up to my expectations.
We look forward to sharing the wondrous and sacred “mystery” that lies deep within Japanese folk arts with audiences throughout Europe. The piece was created with the idea that theatre-goers would experience the mood of mystery that they meet at a temple or a shrine, or when you go into the forest – places that are removed from daily life. A feeling that emerges from deep darkness.
Amidst reverberations like rumbles in the earth large serpents coil, demons and lions move wildly. They surface from the gloomy dark, eerie at times, and in some respects, even nostalgic… This work fuses Kodo’s real worth, the dynamism of taiko expression, with the wondrous beauty and true charm that lie within rituals expressing the worship of myriad gods and reverence for nature that have been traditions in Japan since ancient times. This performance takes you on a voyage to the extraordinary, to a mysterious realm that lies in the beyond.

Sadly, this is starting to feel relevant. Sometimes, I believe I work in a mashup of Dilbert and The IT crowd.
Martin Beaupre in Morges, take 2
For the second time in as many years, I had the privilege to meet Martin Beaupré last night at the Midnight Sun gallery, in Morges, where he was doing another live painting exhibition. Whereas last year he did the two-handed upside-down painting demonstration, this year he presented how he started his works, with 3 blank canvases.
More things I learned:
- He never runs out of ideas because he never has any ideas on what his paintings will be like to begin with.
- He never paints while he has any negative emotion. He might do some side borders, or go running.
- Once he has a formline, he’ll turn the canvas until he sees something that works. Maybe it’ll be a geisha, maybe it’ll be a landscape.
- He never throws out a canvas. If something doesn’t work, he’ll paint it black and do a night scene.
- He’ll start with acrylic and paste, then switch to oils.
- He works on so many canvases at once because he finds it difficult to know when to stop. The interrupt required by letting layers dry and moving on to another painting helps him decide when it’s “done”.
