Tom Hiddleston For Donmar, Channeling Coriolanus
Last week I had the great pleasure of working with actor, Tom Hiddleston, on portraits for the Donmar’s upcoming production of Coriolanus. Tom goes down as one of the nicest people I’ve had the chance to photograph and his performance in front of my camera was the best I have ever witnessed at such close quarters. Thanks to everyone involved in the shoot and to Tom for being such a nice guy and so trusting.
I moved recently and with moving comes the packing and unpacking the sorting and discarding and anyway I was going through an old beat up box marked KUNG FU SCHOOL DESK and I said to myself hmmm?
A massive trip down memory lane filled with ancient sign up sheets from hundreds of former students, each one an emotional jelly bean for my head, some old flyers, mission statements, rules of the school. Then I came across this nondescript black note book that i had mistaken for something else and was about to toss out sight unseen.
I think this is from a rough copy of an early bending bible with some (of course always amazing) sketches by BK. and I think my youngest son Arjuna posed for some of the reference photos for these. Bryan had been drawing from my lanky frame and from some photo books of Shaolin monks and wanted to get the child martial artist proportions just right.
I thought the fandom might enjoy seeing some of these ::)
YES this is what I was looking for. I forgot to mention that it’s made by Titmouse, the folks who did Motorcity. I fucking love this short.
Perfection at its finest
I looooove this I’m glad I found it again
aahhhh yes!! I love this, so happy to see it
Swordsmiths forge “Spear of Longinus” from Evangelion anime
The replica of “Spear of Longinus” that appeared in “Neon Genesis Evangelion” anime has been forged. The sword/spear remained faithful in looks to the original and measures 3.3 m (over 10 feet).
The sword was forged by one smith, a master that’s been making swards for 40 years and it took him 6 months to make it. Also he used about 20 swords worth of steel to make the replica.
The sword display will be available to the public from July 2012 at the Bizen Osafune Setouchi City, Okayama Prefecture Museum of swords (Osafune). The former township of Osafune is best known as the home of some of the most skilled swordsmiths in Japanese history.
The Evangelion exhibit will run from July 14 to September 17. The same museum hosted an exhibit with the weapons and armor from the Sengoku Basara game last summer, and 20,000 visitors (mostly young people) visited.

I’m back on the blog with a post about the upcoming Korra soundtrack.
Mike has a great post about the storytelling aspect of Jeremy’s scores on his WordPress blog… I believe the young people say “after the jump,” or something. I say, “click that View Post thing.”
