Do you know the Six degrees of separation concept?
It refers to the idea that, if a person is one step away from each person they know and two steps away from each person who is known by one of the people they know, then everyone is at most six steps away from any other person on Earth.
Vice Australia is basing its next issue on that theme. They asked six different people, artists, photographers to design a cover for the issue. So it’s gonna be six different covers.
They chose those people because they’re all one step away from each other.
I believe it’s Vincent from the Midnight Juggernauts who mentioned my name.
I must be at the end at the chain cause I haven’t been asked any !
Although I’m 2 steps away from Obama, Madonna and Tom Cruise.

Also in case you don’t know this GAME, try it.
It’s called the Kevin Bacon game.
An online database of all movies allows you to check how many degrees is any actor on this planet away from kevin Bacon, who once claimed he knew everyone in Hollywood. It’s funny to see how hard it is to score more than 3 degrees, even if you try an obscure actor from India, or… France.
I once mentioned Louis de Funès on this blog, who’s big in France, but pretty old school, well :
Louis de Funès has a Bacon number of 2.
Louis de Funès
was in
Aventures de Rabbi Jacob, Les (1973)
with
Janet Brandt
was in
Queens Logic (1991)
with
Kevin Bacon
GOT IT ?

 

JAMES JARVIS

…is without a doubt one of the most talented ones around.
I know once a video’s been on hypebeast for weeks it ain’t fresh blogging material anymore, but if you haven’t seen this, enjoy :

It just – if needed- enhanced all the good I think of Jarvis, who manages to keep that strong identity through extraordinaire yet old school drawing skills.
I’ve seen him draw and this is so easy for him, like when you see athletes at their peak on TV, they make what they do look simple. I wish I had asked him to draw something for me !
Impressive work also on the animation from Richard Kenworthy who co-directed this video (commisionned by NIKE).

NOW WHAT

(borrowing that section from Mehdipedia)
Where is KAREN ALLEN now ?

Her Imdb page says she still works, mostly TV.
Well I was in love with her freckles and her blue eyes, when she was playing Indiana Jones’ tough girlfriend in The Raiders Of The Lost Ark, and then we lost touch.
Apparently she reprised her role in Indiana Jones IV, but this was so bad i don’t remember much, except 3D Roswell-like aliens.
