Good Hospitality

Hi all!

Welcome to the beginning of Chapter 5! My thanks again to Robin Hotter for the comic last week. It allowed me to get a few days ahead and take an extra day off. It was like having a long weekend, or something?

This past weekend my wife had me booked in to see a doco flick that she wanted to see. It turned out to be a really interesting movie that was screened here as a part of the World Cinema Showcase that Auckland put on. The film was called “Bill Cunningham – New York” and was about a legendary street style photographer of fashion in New York City, surprisingly enough, named Bill Cunningham. It was a pretty engaging watch. Bill Cunningham is a really cool guy, who is now in his 80’s and still riding around Manhattan on a bicycle, documenting clothing that he finds interesting. He has a great affable quality about him, and I admired the way he never compromises his own morals for the sake of money. If you get the chance, and the subject matter interests you – check it out!

Meanwhile, are you a social media fiend? Don’t forget you can keep up to date with ActionMan Adam on the official Facebook fanpage. Or if you want, you can keep in check with me via Twitter, Flickr or my Tumblr blog as well as the comments section on this site.

Thanks for reading,
Marc

Stronger than he thought

Hi!

It was a long weekend here in New Zealand. If you are in NZ hopefully you enjoyed it. The weather hasn’t been great but that is what you can expect for the beginning of winter I guess. I hope all of you in the Northern Hemisphere are excited about the onset of your summer!

The weekend was good. I was able to get some things done that I wanted to do. Including finishing off the page you see above this post. Thankfully I was recently in Christchurch and was able to get some great photo reference or it would have made the inside of this cafe scene a hard one to conjure up.

Also spent some of the extra time this weekend watching a couple of films. Of the more independent variety this time around. One was “New York – I love you” and the other was “Paper Heart”. Both movies centred around love and the complexity of it. The New York one was a companion piece to Paris – je t’aime. Same concept but in a different location. The great thing about both of these movies is the city is an important backdrop, but the narrative focuses on short stories of different characters affecting each other. It was cool.

Paper Heart was recommended to me by Team Sweet. She was right. It was an adorable film of a character struggling to believe in what love means – or maybe what it should me to her. Almost the exact opposite of Adam. Heh. Both films are worth the watch. If you have a significant other, then either could be a good one to share with them.

Thanks for reading
Marc
