Michael Jackson Comes to Life

Mural done by: Biest, Look, Prime (Honolulu, Hawaii 2009)

Most of us have already seen the Michael Jackson Tribute wall on South King Street.  Passing by it today to get a better shot, I stumbled upon the wall and saw a guy leaning on the wall dressed in the black and white outfit that MJ wore during Billie Jean.  

All of a sudden, I hear the words "ACTION!" and realized I stumbled upon a set for a short film. I moved out of the way quickly and watched.  

"CUT!", and a car rolls by.  The actor comes into the shade for a little bit to wait for the stop light to turn green and as soon as the coast was clear, he propped himself up on the wall and stood as a statue imitating MJ's pose on the wall.

There were five of us there.  The actor, the kid, the camera man, a woman watching the whole thing unfold, and myself, and the occasional passers by.

I stayed and watch as they filmed take after take.  I could not stay very long but I was able to catch some pictures of the days events.  I cant reveal  who was doing to filming without their permission, but all I know is that its going to be shown at some film festival in Chinatown this weekend.  The short film is still untitled.  I will update if and when I find the short film online.  

Las Vegas Mural

On my last visit to Vegas, I stumbled upon this large mural.  I wasnt able to get the mural as a whole because there was a 40 foot container parked right in front of it.  Anyway, I posted a reply in a Las Vegas Graffiti thread in hopes that some of the locals there can identify the crew or the people who painted it.  

If you know who painted it, can you email me or leave me a message.  Thanks. 

Multiple Forums

Funny thing that we "Hawaiians" do.  

So I went online to see how many "forums" and sites that there are for Hawaii graffiti there are and theres actually a whole bunch of them.  But the funny thing about all of them is that everyone posts the same thing on all the sites.  

I can go to my site to look at pictures, then someone will "borrow" the picture and post it on another site, then someone else will borrow it and post it to another site.  

Aren't you tired of seeing the same things on different sites?

Most of us know which sites im talking about but im not going to mention which ones.  I just thought it was funny to see the same thing on 4-5 different places.  

What do you think?
