It's no surprise that we have a slight obsession with the Californian lifestyle since it's so similar to Sydney. But it might come as a surprise that we have a soft spot for Venice Beach. I find people either love or hate it, and yes, it's a little bit like Bondi on steroids but there is so much to love, so look out for our guide to Venice Beach coming next month.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
But for now enjoy these amazing aerial shots of the Venice Beach boardwalk, beach and skate bowl from local but now LA based photographer <a href="http://kingtrevor.com/" target="_blank">Trevor King.</a> </div>

You know how they say its not about the destination, its about the journey? Whoever coined that term must have taken the three hour scenic drive from San Francisco to Sea Ranch, during which you absolutely must take a break in Bodega, the iconic seaside town featured in Alfred Hitchcock’s ’The Birds' (1963).</blockquote>

So we are pretty excited about the new Ghost in the Shell film being released by Paramount and DreamWorks pictures at the end of this month. Full disclaimer, we haven't actually seen it yet. So this isn't a review, but from what we have seen it looks pretty major. </span></div>

Which is fair enough. </span><span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: sans-serif;">The original is about as Asian as things get: Japanese cult manga, ground-breaking anime, Hong Kong–inspired locations, Eastern philosophy–based story.

<span style="background-color: white;"><span style="color: #222222; font-family: sans-serif;">But, this is Hollywood and casting decision's are lead by many things, although mostly dominated by the all mighty dollar. And for a film of this magnitude with a female lead, there were limited choices in terms of who could actually financially be able to carry the film. Margot Robbie was actually in earlier talks for the lead, but went on to be casted as Harley Quinn in Suicide Squad instead. </span></span><span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: sans-serif;">Politics aside, the fact that we have a strong, kick ass female lead is something to celebrate, and Scarlett is all of that. </span></div>

<span style="background-color: white;"><span style="color: #222222; font-family: sans-serif;">Closer to home the film was mostly shot in Wellington New Zealand with Weta Workshop working on all the amazing effects.

<span style="background-color: white; font-family: "Proxima Nova", Proxima-Nova, proxima-nova, Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; text-align: center;">Directer Rupert Sanders says the film </span><span style="background-color: white; font-family: "Proxima Nova", Proxima-Nova, proxima-nova, Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif;">is about the hope that humanity will prevail amongst a technological revolution. As we all look at </span><span style="background-color: white; font-family: "Proxima Nova", Proxima-Nova, proxima-nova, Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; text-align: center;">our increasing dependancy on technology are we really aware of where our future may be taking us?</span></div>
<blockquote class="tr_bq" style="text-align: justify;">
<i><span style="background-color: white; font-family: "Proxima Nova", Proxima-Nova, proxima-nova, Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; text-align: start;">"We are very trusting of technology. We give so much of our location, of our desires, of our thoughts into these devices that, ultimately, we trust. You already see kids in their strollers flicking through iPads as though they're software designers. And one of the questions of our film is, "Can you trust?" </span><span style="background-color: white; font-family: "Proxima Nova", Proxima-Nova, proxima-nova, Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif;">Part of what we're trying to say is that humanity at some stage is gonna be absorbed more and more in technology. The important thing is that we figure out a way that humanity is needed by technology rather than the other way around. I think technology will evolve beyond us and [when that happens], what's the need for us? We're greedy, we're wasteful, we are destroying the environment that they would need to survive."</span></i></blockquote>

<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">For anyone that has been to <a href="http://sqirlla.com/" target="_blank">Sqirl</a> in Los Angeles, I want to tell you we have found its sister cafe right here in Sydney. Now thats pretty big statement given the cult following and absolutely amazing food that Sqirl is known for. But, we 1000% stand by our words. <a href="http://twochaps.com.au/" target="_blank">Two Chaps</a> is just that good!</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">When we started frequenting the area about 10 years ago there was nothing but industrial warehouses as far as the eye could see. Now its a hive of activity as young families and creatives have moved in.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Two Chaps is literally in an old brick factory with a roll up garage door that leads straight onto the footpath. It follow's a from-scratch and sustainable approach in all aspects of its operation; is 100% vegetarian with most items able to be made vegan or gluten free so it even feels very LA! Best thing is not only is it a cafe but its also a bakery making fresh bread and pastries daily. </span></div>

<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">We all know the Sqirl started as a jam company, well Two Chaps even has a similar back story. Their first product was handmade <a href="https://www.stickychai.com.au/pages/about-us" target="_blank">Sticky Chai</a> and when we first discovered them years ago that was all they were doing out of the current location. Manufacturing and producing the chai along when doing takeaway cups for passerbys. Cut to now, and its a major destination for anyone in the know. And these two chaps have been busy to say the least. Not only have they extended the operation into a fully fledged cafe and bakery, but they also launched their specialty coffee roasting project - Blind Man Coffee. </span><br />

With more than 150 stunning photographs of Sieff’s subjects in Paris, in their homes, on the shores of Normandy, and in the gardens of Champagne, Les Francaises exhibits Sieff’s undeniable ability to capture the beauty of the female form while at once offering an intimate glimpse into the world these women inhabit. </div>

<span class="s1"><span style="font-size: small;">The Mirage sculpture is modelled on a ranch-style suburban American house but is composed of 100% mirrored surfaces reflecting the surroundings and camouflaging the structure.</span></span></div>

<div class="p1" style="text-align: justify;">
<span class="s1"><span style="font-size: small;">Aitken reconfigured the idea of the suburban home by removing its inhabitants and their possessions. He has done away with the doors and windows so the structure is not private or secure. Inside, the reflective surfaces create a kaleidoscopic effect intended to evoke confusion rather than comfort.</span></span></div>

Much of Southern California teems with flowers, but the 630,000-acre Anza-Borrego State Park is alive with color. The nearby community of Borrego Springs more than doubled in size as 5,000 people poured into the area on Saturday, an influx that filled motels, prompted the sheriff to close miles of road.</div>

<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Lili Lakich </span><span style="color: #252525; font-family: sans-serif; line-height: 22.4px;">(born June 4, 1944) </span><span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; line-height: 21.12px;">is a pioneer of neon sculpture. She </span><span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; line-height: 21.12px;">began making art in the 60's and choose neon because at the time no one had considered it a medium worthy of fine art. It was a medium for </span>advertising<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; line-height: 21.12px;"> - sleazy bars, shoe repair shops and cheap motels. It was the connection between the stigma of neon and the equal contempt with which emotions are regarded in our culture that informed Lili's early work. </span><span style="color: #252525; font-family: sans-serif; line-height: 22.4px;">Her first light sculpture was a self-portrait with tiny light bulbs controlled by a motor, blinking down her face like tears. </span><br />

For me, art is cathartic—-a means of packaging emotion and exorcising it. Once I had made a portrait of myself crying, I could stop crying. The sculpture cried for me. If you can express mangled feelings in a work of art, you can overpower them. They then exist as a set of lines, colours </span><span style="color: #252525; font-family: sans-serif; line-height: 22.4px;">and forms. They're no longer an amorphous nausea eating away at your gut. They're incorporated into an object. You can see it. You can hang it on a wall. And if you can make it beautiful, you can somehow feel that it has sanctity...that it is an icon capable of arousing an emotional response in other people as well."</span></i></span><span style="line-height: 21.12px;"> </span></blockquote>

<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; line-height: 21.12px;">It was these emotions that lead her to create our favourite work in the book - <i>Vacancy/No Vacancy (</i>1973). A contemporary Madonna who puts forward her availability or lack of it in no certain terms. A flick of a switch will change her from an open and willing seeker of intimacy to a woman who needs nothing from anyone.</span></div>

Strange Plants, Strange Plants II, and is a celebration of plants in contemporary art. The two books
feature the work of 55 artists—from oozing paintings of rotting cacti
to eerie, mesmeric photos of the leafy kudzu vine—and discusses the role
plants play in the artists’ personal lives. Each artist’s work is accompanied by an insightful article or interview
that delves deeper into the relationships between plants and people.</span></span></div>

<br /></div>
<span style="font-size: small;">One's interest in art is deeply personal. You may be
drawn to something that another is repelled by or vice versa. Love it or
hate it, you don't really need a reason. Art just needs to make you
feel something. The most important thing is to let yourself be lead by
emotional. Maybe the meaning will come later, maybe it wont?</span><br />
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
In this world we need to keep surrounding ourselves with art. In our Art series we will introduce you to some artists we have discovered and love.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Artist : <a href="http://www.isabelyellin.com/" target="_blank">Isabell Yellin</a></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Born : New York City 1987</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Currently Resides : London UK </div>
<br />
Born and raised in New York, Yellin moved to London in 2013 to pursue an MFA in painting at the Royal College of Art. Having just completed her second solo show at <a href="http://www.vigogallery.com/?artists,isabelyellin" target="_blank">Vigo Gallery</a>, her new works occupy a space between painting and sculpture. They are begging to be touched, fondled almost. Is it soft? Is
it hard? You don't really know until you are up close. And you really
need to get up close to see it for all its simple complexity. Much like
us humans I suppose? <br />

“They’re skin and bone, but they’re synthetic, the fake version of it.
They’re body-like, but they’re also completely foreign. They’re square
and rectangle like a painting should be, but they’re also sculptural.
They contradict themselves. They’re uncomfortable.” - Isabell Yellin</blockquote>

One of the best films of our time has to be <a href="https://itunes.apple.com/AU/movie/id996907761" target="_blank">Paris, Texas</a> by Wim Wenders. Written in the West is a series of images Wenders shot in 1983 while looking for subject and locations for the film. Driving through Texas, Arizona, New Mexico and California, he was captivated by the unique, saturated, colourful light of the vast wild landscape of the American West.<br />
<br />
The series was 1st exhibited in 1986 at the Centre Pompidou in Paris and later published as this book in 2000.<br />

Strangely, even though the film takes its name from a sleepy town of Paris, Texas, no footage was ever actually shot there.<br />
