Hi everyone today we're going to learn
how to play Sources. Sources a card game
originally created by Andrew Walsh which
was available online through a Creative
Commons license.
We've adapted from its original version
to better reflect the needs of our user.
In sources there are two decks of cards
will be using, the "source cards" and the
"assignment cards". Start the game by
shuffling and dealing out 2 assignment
cards to each player.
These should be kept face up in front of
you.
The remainder of the assignment cards
should be placed in the middle of the
table face down. You will draw new
assignments from the pile as you
complete assignments currently in your
hand. Next deal out 4 source cards to each
player. Place the remaining source cards
face down in the middle of the table. This
becomes the draw pile. Place one source
card face up beside the source card pile.
This card can be picked up instead of
choosing a new source card from the
face down pile. Now each person should
have 2 assignment cards and 4 source
cards in front of them. Since there's a
lot of information on the assignment
cards
let's quickly have a closer look at the
assignment card. In Sources there are a
number of different assignments for you
to complete. The number and diversity of
sources needed to complete them depends
on the difficulty of the assignment.
Let's look at what information you are
given on an assignment card. Name of the
assignment, this tells you what
assignment you are trying to complete.
These range from verbal presentations
all the way to term papers. Value for
completing the assignment, this tells you
how much the assignment is worth towards
your final score. In Sources, completing
assignments gives you points. The player
with the highest score at the end of the
game is the winner. Brief assignment
description.
This tells you what is required to
complete the assignment. However you will
need to read the detailed assignment
requirements below to see exactly what
is needed to complete the assignment.
Detailed assignment description,
you should read this part of the
assignment card very carefully. This
tells you what is required to complete
the assignment. In this example we need:
3 academic journals and once you
have the 3 academic journals you can
use to of any other type of
source to complete the assignment.
Visual representation of sources required to
complete the assignment. This is a quick
visualization of what you need to
complete the assignment. Each source has
a unique image associated with it. As you
can see here, we need 3 academic
journals, the addition sign means you can
use 2 of any other sources to complete
the assignment to make up the 5
resources required. Remember, like in real
life it is important to read each
assignment requirement carefully in
order to complete it correctly.
Choose a player to go first,
this could be the youngest player or
the player who most recently visited the
library. The first player can choose to
either draw from the face down source
cards or from the card currently in the
face of position. Once the player has picked
up a new source card they have the
option to complete an assignment. If this
isn't possible
play continues to the player on the left.
If a player is able to complete an
assignment they can demonstrate that by
showing the other players that they have
the required sources. In this case, we
have the necessary resources needed to
complete an assignment. We have 3
academic journals, 1 book and a
dictionary or encyclopedia. This fulfills
the requirements of this assignment. Once
the assignment has been completed, the
player can arrange the sources used to
complete the assignment in any order and
place them in the face up position. This
becomes the discard pile. Remember:
players can choose the top card during
their turn
so there can be strategy and how you
discard them. Keep any completed
assignments near you. You will add up
these point values at the end of the
game. Once an assignment has been
completed, draw a new assignment card. You
should always have 2. If you cannot draw
up a new assignment card
the game is over. The highest scoring
player when no more assignment cards can
be drawn as the winner. Also, if
completing an assignment brings you
below 4 source cards
remember to draw enough cards to get you
back to 4. You should always have at
least four cards in your hand.
In Sources, there are a number of "wild
cards" which have different benefits.
These are powerful cards, make sure to
read them carefully so that you
understand what they do. And that is the
basic rules for playing Sources! More
detailed instructions can be found in
the full ruleset in the description
below.

The Story of Archmage Antonidas [Hearthstone Lore] - Duration: 7:59.
Hello everyone!
I've counted the votes and the card you wanted me to talk about most is
Archmage Antonidas : "You require my assistance?"
I think this is actually the first time that I really dive into his story, should be good
so let's begin shall we?!
Antonidas was leader of the kirin tor and ruler of Dalaran during some of the most dire
times the world of warcraft has seen.
He was part of those that decided to send Khadgar to become the apprentice of the guardian
Medivh.
Those that have been keeping up with the channel, you know that Medivh was corrupted by the
spirit of Sargeras and opened the dark portal, allowing the orcish horde to enter the world
and start their first invasion.
His corruption was eventually discovered and in the final confrontation, Medivh litteraly
sucked the youth out of Khadgar turning him into an old man.
Despite this, they were still able to kill the guardian and stop Sargeras from manifesting,
but the orcs were still there and their invasion went on.
Despite people like Anduin Lothar and Khadgar doing their best to stop the orcs, Stormwind
fell and their people were forced to flee to Lordaeron, to warn the world of this alien
invading force and get it ready to defend itself.
Despite Lothar's honor and truth to his words, the nobles were still hesitant to believe
their story of a force so powerful and Khadgar thought that he would have to pitch in and
try to do something, although he doubted that it would make any difference.
Fortunatly, archmage Antonidas spoke to the fellow rulers about reports of the orcs that
had already been made to the kirin tor.
They underestimated the seriousness of this threat and thought that it was little more
than a local nuisance, confined to that continant.
With stormwind fallen, it seems they were very wrong and although their own magic was
stronger then the orcish warlocks, they orcs were able to work together and outnumbers
the magi greatly.
Antonidas understood what Lothar said and eventually the nobles agreed to form the alliance
of lordaeron, band together and fight back against the Horde.
Khadgar made his report to the council of six about most of what had happened during
his time with Medivh and became a mediator between the alliance of lordaeron and the
forces of Dalaran.
The Horde would eventually be defeated and those that surrendered were placed within
interment camps.
The Dark Portal was closed, but would not stay closed for ever.
The orcs returned for a second invasion, this time to steal powerful artifacts and use those
artifacts to create more portals to different worlds.
One of the artifacts that they required was the Eye of Dalaran which was locked away within
the arcane vault, near the heart of the violet citadel.
Alarms went off as death knights of the horde made their way in to steal their prize.
Antonidas, Kael''has, Krasus and others tried to stop them, but the undead creatures
did not come alone.
The black dragon aspect, Deathwing himself, had allied with the orcs and in exchange they
brought his eggs back to Draenor.
Atonidas always said that every mage should know his limits, and on that night, he knew
that he had met his.
Deathwing could have easily tear through the wards that they had enacted around the city,
they were never built to withstand such a giant and the death knights got what they
came for, one of the city's most powerful artifacts.
In a dream, a dream in which khadgar was young again, Antonidas spoke to him and told him
what had happened within the city.
At this point they didn't know why they took it and what the orcs were planning to
do, but soon enough they figured out their plans and they realised that they would have
to step through the dark portal and take the fight the orcs own home world.
They could not allow them to bring the same pain and suffering to other worlds so the
sons of lothar, including khadgar, left all they knew behind and ventured forth into draenor.
They were able to stop the orcs from invading more worlds, but were forced to shut the portal
from Draenors side, making the ultimate sacrifice.
None back on Azeroth truly knew what had happened to those heroes and in honor of their brave
sacrifice, statues were placed in front of stormwind.
For Khadgar's memorial it was antonidas who wrote: "Never did one so selflessly delve
into the dark heart of magic and warfare.
We wish you well, bold wanderer.
Wherever you are."
There's a similar memorial, but this one can be found within Dalaran and is for Antonidas
himself.
The writing on it says:
Archmage Antonidas, Grand Magus of the Kirin Tor
The great city of Dalaran stands once again - a testament to the tenacity and will of
its greatest son.
Your sacrifices will not have been in vain, dearest friend.
With Love and Honor, Jaina Proudmoore
The reason for that is that Jaina Proudmoore was accepted within Dalaran to study the magical
arts and was even accepted as Antonidas's apprantice.
She loved being in the city and learning all she could, but she also fell in love with
a young prince who went out of his way to visit his childhood friend within the magical
city.
Arthas Menethil joined them for a time and during one of his visits they discussed the
orcs still locked away within the camps.
Some believed that the gold asked from the people to keep the camps going was too much
and they should simply put the orcs out of their missery, but Jaina didn't agree.
She had visited the camps when she was a child and did not see the creatures others saw.
Antonidas cut into their discussion stating that the law was lordaeron's and that king
Terenas could do as he saw fit in his own realm.
He was personally more interested in the strange lethagy of the orcs that had taken hold of
them.
According to their records, the orcs were not always the blood thirsty force that they
had faced in the past.
Apperantly there were demonic forces at play and if they were able to return the orcs to
their peaceful state, then they would have no need to keep them imprisoned any longer
and the money could be distributed elsewhere.
Keep in mind that this is before the whole Thrall reforming the Horde, the ideas of Antonidas
went against what most people thought about the orcs and most likely enforced Jaina's
believes that the orcs were not just animals to be put down, allowing her mind to be open
to the possibility of working together with them.
It's a good thing too since an alliance would soon be needed.
During Warcraft 3, the prophet Medivh, resurrected by his mother and now no longer corrupted
by Sargeras, went about warning the world of the threat of the Legion.
He tried to talk to Terenas, Arthas and Antonidas but none would hear his words.
Only Jaina was willing to keep an open mind and consider what he had to say.
Arthas eventually purged Stratholme, fell to the dark side and picked up Frostmourne.
He became a puppet of the Lich King and by extention a tool of the Legion.
He resurrected Kel'thuzad and in order to summon Archimonde, they needed to get their
hands on the book of Medivh, which could be found within Dalaran.
"Pull your troops back or we will be forced to unleash our full powers against you!
Make your choice, death knight."
Jaina was there as antonidas stepped back from the balcony.
She thought that maybe she could still reason with the man she had loved, maybe she could...she
fell silent, hearing the unrealistic wanting in her own voice.
She hadn't even been able to stop him from murdering innocents in stratholme, or going
to northrend when she was certain it was a trap.
He'd not listened to her then.
If Arthas was indeed under some dark influence, how could she dissuade him now.
There was so much she wanted to say to Antonidas, her mentor, her guide but all she could do
was give him a shaky smile, now, as he fought what they both knew would likely be hist last
battle.
She found she couldn't even say good-bye to him.
"I'll take care of our people," she said thickly, cast the teleportation spell
and disappeared
"It pains me to even look at you Arthas.
I'll be happy to end your torment old man.
I told you that your magics could not stop me."
*smack*
And so Archmage Antonidas was slain by Arthas, Archimonde was summoned to the world and Dalaran
fell.
His teachings would live on though as Jaina followed Medivh's guidance, allied herself
with people like thrall and Tyrande and together they stood against the demonic forces of the
Legion and vanquished it from the world.
Antonidas's spirit lingered on for a bit trying to defend Dalaran even after death,
but Prince Kael'thas escaped the dungeons, he made sure to put them to rest.
And that's where we'll end the story for today.
It's quite a big one and I'll probably make a full video one day with all the little
details, but this will have to do for now!
As always I'll leave it up to you guys and girls to decide what card we're going to
talk about next so leave your suggestions in the comments down below and who knows?!
Your card might be used in the next video!

Hands & Needles : In Memoriam, Transmission d'un Héritage (Mikaël de Poissy) - Duration: 51:06.
I'm like a Japanese man.
Anyone who gets a Japanese style tattoo...
80% are religious subjects.
Maybe they don't realize it.
I'm making religious subjects as well
A Japanese artist who does only Japanese style,
Which is the case for 80% of the Japanese tattooers.
And 100% of the Polynesian artists do Polynesian style.
I've never met a Polynesian tattooer who does old school style.
Well, I do the same thing...
A French man, tattooing stained glass style.
It comes from my country's culture.
It's a legacy.
It matches me perfectly.
Because I grew up with it.
I mean, I wasn't raised religiously.
My parents were atheists.
I never set a foot in a church when I was a kid.
But I feel concerned.
To me, every small French village,
Has its own church.
Imagine, if I travel to Japan,
And they only feed me Sauerkraut...
And get rid of the temples...
That would annoy me.
I travel to Japan because I want to meet Japanese people.
And see how they live.
But I'm not...
I mean, it's not an obsession.
There are many things about religion,
That I strongly disagree with.
But that's not me, Im not a bigot.
If you look at my life; I'm not a role model.
But it's compatible.
You can like something without acting like it tells you to.
I mean...
There are some art forms that move me.
But culturally I might disagree with.
The fact that I do stained glass and religious art,
It's because...
I have a lot of respect for it.
But people nowadays...
Will easily insult you.
As soon as you talk about religion,
They'll say: "Religion is crap."
When I started the stained glass back tattoos,
Or at least when they were finished.
A lot of people insulted me.
"Ok, whatever..."
That proves how stupid they are.
On the contrary,
I left every bad online comment on purpose.
On some websites,
There was up to 1000 comments about only one photo.
And there's always in that,
5% of morons.
But they'll like,
And find marvelous an Asian style back tattoo.
With an Asian godly figure.
"Well, sorry to tell you that buddy, but I'm doing the exact same thing..."
There has to be movement in this you see...
If your goal is only to use something that already exists,
And copy it, then I shall do realism...
You'll bring me a photo.
You'll tell me; "I want the portrait of this actor."
Of course, I'm not saying that,
...It's easy.It's actually very technical, but,
But except the fact that it has to be the most realistic,
There are already many talented artists.
Who can make do amazing work.
Super realistic tattoos.
That are sometimes more beautiful than the original.
If I had to do it,
I'd suffer...
I'd have to start all over again.
When you look at a realist style portrait,
Except four or five tattooers in the world...
I think that even if you know all of them,
I guarantee you'd have trouble finding who did what.
Some of them have a precise style.
They always use the same colors,
Or the same lighting.
A specific technic.
You can recognize some. But there are many copycats.
In the end...
You can't really tell who's who.
In eastern Europe,
It is quite...
Amazing what they can do.
Here in France,
In realistic style,
There is Théo.
Who's from eastern Europe but settled in France.
Also Julien Thibers.
Who's really talented.
And of course...
There's Tin-Tin who led the way, 20 years ago.
Some people forgot it...
Or don't even know it.
Which is even worse. Many people don't even know that.
Tin-Tin was the first to do this style in France.
Of realistic portraits.
And finally,
Manu from Châlons.
Who's...
In my opinion, for black & white portraits,
The best artist in the world.
I decided to become a tattoo artist,
The first time I met one.
I was expelled from highschool when I was 15.
And couldn't find another one.
So I started studying photography in a vocational school.
When I turned 16,
I made a report about Marcel from Paris.
A lot of my friends had been tattooed by him.
I don't know...
many people that... I mean I don't know anyone,
Who didn't like this man.
He was a real character.
The first time I stepped in his tattoo parlor,
A tiny parlor in fact.
Legendre street, Paris.
I was studying photography,
Of course he reacted by...
Kicking me out.
I was living with my dad.
He took the news quite well.
He said: "You want to be a tattooer?"
"Are you sure?" I said "Yes."
Becoming a tattooer in France in the 1990's was like:
"I want to buy a bear and street perform with it at markets."
Eventually he accepted.
But he forced me to attend the Abbey painters Academy of Poissy.
The first positive impact it had on me,
Was to keep me off the streets.
It helped me to live a better life.
Find a better artistic approach.
That was more fot for me.
I wasn't an outcast, I had both feet on the ground.
When I was young.
But it's not easy for every youth.
Some youths are tougher than others.
The environment I was living in,
I had to dig my way out.
This is the stand where I worked during the first years.
The I was there.
In this one there was a first floor.
It had a window, so I'd sit there.
Because I was tattooing up there.
I'd watch people walking by.
I spent about 8 or 9 years here.
I'll check if my friend is here.
I worked in a tattoo parlor for about 2 years.
Something like that.
Then I met Pierre-Jean at the Clignancourt flea market.
Who had another parlor before.
So he was there way before me.
I was 21 by then.
I asked myself: "Are you able to work there?"
"At the flea market?"
In the Malik market. In 1995.
When it was filled with gangs and pit-bulls.
Fighting over territories.
I thought about it, and decided it would be an experience.
The kind of experience,
You either come out stronger;
Or don't come out at all.
I weighted 120 lbs...
I had snake's shoulders...
Flamingo's legs...
And a quiff hairstyle.
I wasn't the toughest around...
Once I got there, someone helped me right away.
Someone who became a close friend.
His name is Jean-Claude.
A real friend and a true man.
An old-timer.
He took me under his wing.
Then I made other friends.
Like Joël who was a customer at first,
Then a friend.
We've been friends for 20 years now.
To me it's priceless.
They're people living by a code of conduct.
Everybody's talking about the "Code" in our profession.
People often say "old-timer".
But really...
If you really look at it,
It's mostly acting.
But I can assure you, these guys are real old-timers.
There are not many people like them.
Even in the Clignancourt flea market.
If you wanted to open a store, you had to borrow money.
Or you had to have some.
Without friends you'd have to,
Borrow money from the local mafia.
I was lucky to find people like them.
They became my friends, believed in me and helped me.
So I could get a bigger store, with a top floor.
I managed, step by step, to survive out there.
Because I started from the bottom.
I wouldn't have made progress there.
I'd still be the same tattooer.
A mediocre one.
I was like Bugs.
Who was working at a flea market in London.
Except that he already had a name and was known over there.
Whereas I could never have done that at the Clignancourt flea market.
I don't know how to call this place.
but it's magical to me.
In places like that; the first time I got there,
I was stunned by the atmosphere of the store.
You can ask the owner about any book or any author.
Even if the author is from the 1860's and only wrote one book in his life.
You can ask the owner,
He'll go find it in the middle of all the books.
It's not even kept in alphabetical order. And he has millions of books.
He knows them all.
I love this kind of shops. Run by people with passion.
Like people from the flea market, collecting old postcards or other things.
They know what they're talking about.
I like going to the archives section.
Where I can look at,
Illuminated manuscripts from the 14th century.
Or even older things. I've seen ancient rolls.
Illuminated rolls with the king's seal.
it's amazing.
That's why I love this bookstore.
Because...
There's everything there. For all tastes.
I like to come here and read some books.
Memoirs of Rome's court plots.
1877.
This is about,
...Gossips.
From Rome's royal court.
It's a gossip magazine.
From 1677
With these...
These covers.
There was a french tannery that work on human skin.
Some books were covered with human skin.
But it's extremely rare to find one.
Even bookmarks were made of human skin.
Tattooed skin. Sometimes.
I used to go there every week-end.
Drink a coffee.
Read, search and study everything I'd stumble upon.
Old newspapers, or anything I could find.
Anything.
I think that,
Or at least that's the way I see it;
I don't know if others should do it or not.
There's a moment of standstill in your career.
If you manage to,
Have a nationwide reputation.
But if you want to progress,
And go worldwide.
You must re-think your work habits and inspirations.
Either to be remembered;
Or change your point of view.
And perceive things.
Bigger than you.
Bigger than what you can do.
The tryptic was...
I think that in my career,
It was the right time to do it.
If I had done it earlier,
I would have probably failed.
Because it was a lot of work.
I did it because technically I was ready.
I knew I was able to do it.
Making that tryptic,
It was an opportunity to show what I'm capable of.
On a piece that measures,
I don't know the width of 3 backs.
May be this big, so let's say 4 feet.
So 4 feet by 4 feet.
During one and a half years of work.
About 60 hours for each back.
Started at the same time and finished the same week.
So the photos could be published the same week.
It was a thoughtful work.
I knew exactly why I was doing this.
It had a meaning.
I didn't make 3 random appointments.
I called these people and asked them.
If they wanted to do it.
I proposed the idea.
I took time to come up with this.
I asked myself.
What could I do.
To make a significative change in my life.
I was working on awesome projects,
But...
Eventually I would have got tired of that.
I would have found my limits at some point.
It would have been limited to France.
When the 3 backs were published,
Really,
It took me as long to make them.
So about a year and a half.
Then it took about
One more year.
And all of a sudden,
I don't know why.
It was published everywhere.
It was when I got back from my first trip to Japan.
New clients came from all around the world.
This is a church I feel connected to.
I think there are places like that for everyone.
So why the Collegiate church of Poissy,
Because I was born in this town.
And that's where,
Members of my family were buried.
My grandmother came here to pray.
It feels like home.
But I don't...
Want people to think I spend my days in churches.
Recently when I went to the Collegiate church of Poissy,
There's a St.Louis statue that was damaged.
Well not damaged, it was completely destroyed.
I wanted to pick up some pieces of what was left over.
I went to the sacristy.
Where I met an old lady.
Not a Jesus freak,
She was very nice.
We talked for a bit, I showed them my work.
She and her friends come to the shop sometimes.
Maybe this can set a precedent,
I don't know many people passionate about history.
It's like going back to my childhood neighborhood.
It feels like home again.
Not long ago I drove by my childhood neighborhood.
They were renovating the place.
Where I used to play.
They dug around, making huge piles of dirt.
I was with Vero from TattooMania.
I told her: "Wait a sec, gotta get something!"
So I stopped the car and took a big jar from the trunk.
And picked up some dirt.
Dirt from my childhood. She gave me the crazy eyes...
She asked me: "What are you doing?"
"Nothing... Just picking up some dirt."
"You can't understand."
It's like having a fetish for collecting stuff.
Historically speaking it' an important place.
Like many other monuments in Paris.
That I can relate to.
Because I've heard a lot about it.
Notre Dame is a very special monument.
Compared to other monuments you can find in Paris.
I've visited it several times.
I've had the opportunity to visit the attic...
To wander on the roofs.
That's why it's very special for me.
The first time I entered,
The attic of Notre Dame and saw the framework,
My first reaction was: "This looks like a forest!"
The Cathedral's curator said: "We also call it the forest."
"Because 1700 oak trees..."
"Were cut from the Vincennes' forest."
"About 850 years ago, to build this roof."
It remained in the same state.
All these years.
It is now endangered,
Because they put so many electric cables in there.
When you're at the center, you can see all the domes.
I saw long tree paths, with Freemason's symbols engraved.
Also symbols of the Companions.
It's very impressive.
Every time I come to Notre Dame of Paris.
I'm happy to see the priest.
Well he's not a priest, he's a sacristan.
When I see him, I show him my work.
He's always surprised, we can talk about a lot of things.
But they aren't shocked.
"This is a tryptic I've made."
"It took about 300 hours of work."
"Yes."
"It's wonderful; the colors; everything is superb."
"So much detail..."
"So you must have an appointment every saturday?"
"You'll need at least 2 days a month during 1or 2 years."
"It's a long-term project."
"Some people come from countries where there isn't stained glass."
"People from Japan, or Asia. They're not used to it."
"So I brief them before."
This is new in tattooing, I've been doing this job for 20 years.
Stained glass didn't exist in tattoo, no one has done it before.
I had the idea 2 years ago.
And there are already copycats.
Graphically speaking, it was made for that.
"So your customers... Art they?..."
"Faithful?"
"Yes."
"Not necessarily."
But I'm always respectful.
For example, I won't make a cartoony face of the Christ.
I warn my clients, but they don't ask for it.
I've been asked once for a tattoo that wasn't disrespectful but...
But wasn't playing by the rules. So I simply declined.
Some people, for example
Have a grandmother named Bernadette, so they'll ask me to tattoo St.Bernadette.
So yeah...
So I'll make a stained glass tattoo with the attributes,
St Bernadette for example;
She's the Patron Saint of something,
I'll draw it in her hands.
Some of my clients want a tattoo just for that.
To honor or remember a loved one.
I also have a lot of faithful clients.
More and more young people, strangely.
That's it.
Now all my customers come for stained glass tattoos.
I started collecting when I was 5 years old.
I collected rocks.
Started when I was 5, stopped at 7.
And I still have it. A bag filled with my rocks.
I've always been a collector. I think it's in you from childhood.
You live with your belongings.
When I come home at night, my objects are here.
You live surrounded by your things.
That's why it's important, they'll be there my entire life.
I'll see them until my last day.
Unless everything burns...
It's all there.
Which reminds me...
I think Jean Cocteau;
He was asked:
"If your house burned, what would you save?"
The fire, he answered.
Not bad right?
Something that terrifies me about some people;
Who want purified design for their home.
Zero object...
Only a table here, and a chair there.
Whereas I need all my stuff around me;
Because every object will remind me a moment of my life.
Or a friend.
Because he gave it to me.
Or painted it for me.
So I can live around my friends.
Some of them bring me luck, because they're from good moments of my life.
The only downside...
When you're like me; is that you'll need a lot of space.
But I can guarantee that every single object I own.
I remember where I got it, or who gave it to me.
I remember everything.
When I'm gone my collections won't have a purpose.
Because they're my collections.
I mean all of my collections.
In this place and time, they have a meaning.
Because they're mine, it's my life.
But my collections...
Maybe I'll give them away before I die.
To whom; I don't know. Maybe if they create a Tattoo museum...
Unless i'm the one opening it... Just kidding.
Since everyone in my family knows I'm a collector;
Every time someone passes away, they bring me their photos albums.
And I keep everything.
I'm the Guardian of the Temple.
In this chest are...
My collections.
This chest has a story, it belonged to my grandfather.
From when he was a war prisoner.
That's why there's a pin drawn on it.
This was his suitcase.
I have a passion for the past.
I've been stacking for a while now.
I've been collecting everything linked to tattooing.
Here's an example,
"The air travels of a young Parisian around the world."
It's an old magazine.
The hero's name is Tintin.
He's getting a tattoo.
it says: "Tintin in the enemy's hands."
And he's getting tattooed by some African tribe.
It says here: "Tintin thought he'd faint from the pain".
He looks scared.
Mr Zoummeroff is a famous french collector.
He collected a lot about executioners and tattooing.
He has this book...
And the cover of this book is made with human skin.
The tattoo is quite famous.
It says: "Victim of the blue collars."
With a dragon fighting a snake.
before he was guillotined he left his body as a legacy...
To Dr. Lacassagne
And Dr. Lacassagne cut his skin.
And he made a book cover with it.
He was the murderer of Ecully; executed in 1932.
Lacassagne put everything in this book. He probably took this photo himself.
So this guy gave his body to Lacassagne who could do whatever he wanted with.
Because he made a book with it.
On this cover you can see his nipples and some chest hair.
It's quite something.
And when you open this book,
There's a whole page about tattooing techniques.
Written by the convict.
And a few others tattoo on cut skin.
That Dr. Lacassagne used to illustrate his work.
This book was for sale a year ago.
But withdrawn because of the law.
You can't sell something that belonged to a human; bones, skin or anything.
This business is now illegal
So about Dr. Lacassagne;
He also made this; "The crocodile album".
"Tattoo from the Inside".
It's from 1934.
And in there you can find...
A lot of pictures, portraits.
Convicts photographed by Dr. Lacassagne.
With all their tattoos.
He made this book because of his researches;
He was one of the inventors of criminology.
He wanted to prevent those who might turn into delinquents.
Based on the size of the head,
The size of the jaw, or the number of tattoos.
It was the early stages of criminology.
"Let's discourage this evil and idiotic amusement."
Not a good start...
"Since antiquity it had its supporters and artists."
"Let's remember,"
"For many nations it was a sign of punishment for the prisoners."
"American and English neurotics tried to start a trend..."
"This barbaric paint on the skin."
"Some of them engraved with madness their bodies;"
"Fantastical tattoos."
It was a different manner of speaking right?
"Criminals get tattooed by pride and to defy order."
"An illustrated autobiography considered to be quite foolish."
"Because it is the unfailing stigma to mark indentity and acknowledgement."
It was considered as a primitive act.
People didn't understand.
This book here, called "Tattoos from the Inside"
I also have multiples copies of it.
It was made by Jacques Delarue and Robert Giraud.
With photos by Doisneau; so it was a good team.
And some photos from the older book.
Because this is "tattoos from the Inside".
Published in 1950 or 1951 by La Roulotte editions.
And this is "tattoo from Inside" by Dr. Lacassagne.
So they used photos from this book and of course took new ones.
I met the author once, because he lived close from here.
And I told him his book was in the Yokohama Tattoo museum.
But to him, tattooing was a project that lasted a year.
he's mostly famous because he made a book about executioners.
And another one about General De Gaulle and the O.A.S.
What you can find in this kind of books;
in Dr. Lacassagne's "Crocodile album"
Photos like this make sense to me.
That's why...
For my tattoos I include the face in the photo.
The person's face is as important as the tattoo itself.
If you take off the face, what's the point?
it would be meaningless...
Because ou can see the pain on some faces.
"Shall an avenger be born when I die"
What if you couldn't see his face?
There's a famous one...
"Bad face but good heart"
Can you imagine the impact of this photo without his head?
It wouldn't be the same.
He really has the face of a pimp.
It was all part of the same decorum.
If you were in there.
There were codes, with recurring themes.
But it wasn't as much codified as the Russian tattoos.
Or some other cultures... It wasn't that much.
Let's not exaggerate.
But most of them were in the disciplinary battalions,
Many tattoos were about North Africa.
Or people like:
"Unlucky One" or "Child of Misfortune"
So there were some codes.
But it had a meaning.It made more sens than...
Than a salamander on the shoulder...
Now inmates have regular tattooing machines.
They go on the internet and order it on ebay.
They manage to get it in, and tattoo themselves.
My friend Bear built his own tattoo machine un prison.
He was covered with tattoos.
He brought all his former inmates friends along;
From the prison of St. Quentin or Chino.
All these people who had pathologies...
Acting very weirdly when they talk to you.
They couldn't keep their eyes straight; constantly looking over their shoulder.
In prison, danger always came from behind I guess.
I was very impressed with these guys.
They were shaking like leaves.
But they didn't realize they were like that.
Unfortunately their life was like that.
This little box...
It was a gift from a friend named "Bear".
Who was...
From Los Angeles and was an inmate in Chino.
When we met I tattooed in a shop in Whittier.
It's a town close to Los Angeles.
He was a big guy, covered with tattoos.
Which were made with this machine.
He just got out of jail and wanted a new tattoo.
He told me about his machine, wanting to give it to me.
So I told him I'd tattoo him for free in exchange.
He tattooed half of his body;
His friends did the other half.
With a small machine.
It's made with a walkman's rotor.
With a jack cable plug,
To make it spin.
Then a needle through the pen.
it was probably filled with diseases.
Unless he was the only one using it.
I was really happy when he gave it to me.
It's the kind of gift that has a lot of value.
Bear passed away...
Not long after we first met.
A few months maybe a year later.
I was very sad.
If I wanted to tattoo with this machine;
He put 2 dots here for the needle bar.
With only one needle; like they did in the 1970's.
Like what Jack Rudy did in Los Angeles.
Very detailed tattoos; he had faces of...
Women faces made with very thin lines.
With thin hair all in grey shadings.
It's a recognizable style that belongs to them.
So the fact that it's handmade, and that he tattooed himself;
With their graphical culture, these tattoos were authentic.
I think they were more authentic than what I do.
His tattoos made sense. They had a meaning.
Between these 4 walls, the tattoos completely make sense.
At least more than in a parlor, with an appointment made months before.
Some people make you believe you're wrong.
Or make you understand they are right.
And they don't bother as much as you.
And they'r right.
And they're drowning in tattoo.
And they swim in it.
The interesting fact is:
You can talk with anyone, doing any job;
If the person in passionate, he becomes interesting.
Because he will tell you about his job with passion.
Well, Cliff White is like that. Horiyoshi is like that...
Shige as well.
I've spent a day with him, his wife, his daughter...
He showed me a box with his grandfather's bone in it.
Then this, then that; and his bookshelf is filled with...
I said...
Well I couldn't say anything actually.
OK...
So i didn't ask them if they had existential questions.
I wouldn't bother them with that.
You can ask yourself questions; but are they the good ones?
Even them, have question to themselves.
Even at their age.
All your life you'll question yourself. That's what I think.
Then I also realized that;
If I talk with an old tattooer or a traditional tattoo artist.
We speak the same language.
I totally understand the approach of a traditional tattoo artist.
it doesn't matter where he's from.
When I go to Thailand and see traditional tattoos;
Which has become a rare thing in Thailand.
If I show them my work, they will understand it.
They'll be less shocked;
Than an occidental tattoo artist who's not used to work like that.
They will understand. They'll say:
"If he does that, it's because he's from that country."
I think that... At least my style;
Since it's traditional;
But also historical and classical.
I'm sure that anyone; anywhere in the world;
Who's into traditional style.
From his own country, his own culture.
He understands me.
And we speak the same language.
That's what's beautiful.
That what makes the world. It's the differences.
I've been tattooing for 5 years; and the last 2 with Mikaël.
In his tattoo parlor.
I like it a lot; it's all about work and passion.
It's what defines Mikaël and his shop.
The biggest change for me when I started working here;
Is that he has his own personal vision of tattooing.
He has an overflowing passion for this job.
He has an honourable vision.
And in his attitude.
When he looks at other people's tattoos he'll analyze their work axis.
I've improved myself by working with him.
He's always willing to share and give advices.
It's decomplexing.
That's for the technical aspect.
He also has an interesting way of looking at things.
And his work perspectives, on a month, 6 months or a year.
Or even further in time.
It helps me to think about;
How to consider my work on short and long term.
Compared to when I first got here;
I've learned how to direct my work.
About all the projects I'm longing to work on.
Like Japanese style.
I'll pay attention;
To choose the right theme and properly deal with it.
I find a lot of common points between Mikaël and me.
Even though our styles are totally different.
His work has not only details, but also a strong cultural knowledge.
He puts a lot of sens in his work, you can tell just by looking at it.
That's why we're alike, despite our differences.
Because I'm doing stained glass, and was the first one to do so;
Other tattoo artists started doing it too.
More or less successfully.
Some had the politeness to write me a letter first.
"One of my clients wants to do it, but he lives too far away from you..."
"Then sure, go ahead."
Many friends of mine; not all of them...
I don't have that many friends...
But I've been tattooing since I was 18 years old.
You can easily guess that most of my friends;
If they aren't tattoo artists, they're into tattooing.
I don't invite a lot of people in my home.
Because I like being alone.
My closest friends...
Well Tin-Tin lives close from here...
I don't remember how we met... Do you?
No, but I've seen you a lot.
Bruno Kea told me:
"Mikaël de Poissy is a moron, you should meet him."
And maybe some other friend...
He told you I was a moron?
Yep. And he was right.
He told me you were a moron too.
All our friends think we're morons so...
That's why we got along.
So we met through common friends.
I've worked in his parlor a few times...
But it's always the same show...
The same old jokes.
It's good to see new things sometimes.
So I go to other friends parlors.
My shop isn't very prestigious in fact...
The tattooers aren't very talented.
All the guests are good though.
Except for him...
Always a cheapskate...
The less he comes, the better we feel.
It took time before we became close friends.
It's a friendship that...
That was built with time. That's why it's lasting.
It's lasting...
For now...
To him, I'm a friend. But to me, he's a pal.
It has nothing to do with tattooing. It's the opposite.
Same here.
Of course most tattooers are friends with each other.
There's a high probability;
That you'll hang out only with tattoo artists.
Spend all your time in conventions and tattoo parlors.
So obviously, most of your friends are tattoo artists.
But most of the people I don't like are also tattooers.
Really?
There are people you don't like in the business?
That's how it is, when you live in a microcosm.
There are people you like or not.
Usually that's how you meet your wife and friends.
But it's not about work.
Since both of us do that for a living;
I'm sure he doesn't do much else besides taking care of his kids.
Even when he's on a trip.
He has tattoo plans.
He'll visit...
If he goes to Japan, in Yokohama he'll probably go see Horiyoshi.
Or else...
See someone that has something to do with tattooing.
Even if we don't do only that in our life.
Yet we can't help it.
If I go somewhere I'll try to find something about tattoo.
Once a tattooer, always a tattooer...
It's always an occasion to meet foreign artists.
But when we see each other; beside telling bad jokes...
If we can avoid talking tattoo for a week, we'll do it.
It's more of a mood community.
A passion; rather than work.
There's no rivalry between us.
Not at all.
About tattoo artists;
In general...
Amongst all the tattooers I've met;
Some were working in street shops opened 24/7.
Maybe it's something that will need to be preserved.
In 50 years from now.
Because it might disappear.
All these overexploited tattooers;
Tattooers in Las Vegas;
Working day and night;
Like me when I was working in the USA.
Maybe, 50 years from now, people will say:
"This kind of tattooers are disappearing; it's a shame..."
"We should reopen street shops; there are none left."
Yet, after a certain time, it becomes part of the culture.
It's been there long enough. It's part of the picture.
My objective is to work on things;
That have disappeared.
That are forgotten.
And I think it would be a good thing;
To study it.
Go to old libraries, find long forgotten stuff.
Or that have been lost. And study it.
Take them out of the past.
Bring it back to life.
By doing so, you revive the people as well.
The people who lived it, or told the stories.
And you can find amazing stuff.
In every country, every culture, with every tattoo artist;
Have this legacy.
Tattooers recognize each other.
Some of them;
I start writing to because...
We understand each other, talk about the same thing.
We want to preserve things.
So when I'm talking with...
A tattoo artist.
From any country.
Except the new countries like the United States.
They have a great tattoo culture, but not an ancient historical legacy.
But countries that have an ancient history,
Something even older than their religious heritage.
They can find wonderful and amazing subjects.
My personal approach is;
Cultural
And feeding your soul with culturally interesting things.
Digest them.
Then put it in my tattoos.
Create something new with it.
Then show it to people.
To my clients.
Since my clients are following my work;
Most of them are interested and want to know more.
They start reading or studying stuff they wouldn't have.
So it might give them new ideas or desires.
As a consequence;
You inspire your clients, then they inspire you.
Because they are the canvas.
That's why I think that in every country and culture;
There are inspirations.
That are good to use.
You can work on traditional style;
But not copying exactly what has been done before.
That wouldn't make sense.
That's what everybody should do.
At least that's my opinion.
And how I want to work.
And I know there are many other tattoo artists,
Thinking the same way.
And I think that, one day...
We'll talk more with each other.
It'll be good exchanges.
We'll be able to work together.
That's what art is all about...
It's about two people meeting each other.
Handing each other ideas.
"Here, you should try that."
"You'll like this book."
A lot of images.
"Your work is great."
"Yours as well."
That's what it's all about.

Learn English on Italki with Kole - Duration: 3:51.
Hey, what's up! My name is Kole and I'd like to help you learn English.
I've been learning languages for a few years
and I'm a member of the polyglot community.
I can speak a few language comfortably, which
I'll show you later in the video, and I understand the process of learning languages
and that's why I feel qualified to help teach my language to you.
I speak Midwestern American English, a dialect famous for being very neutral.
If you want to be understood by the widest possible range of English speakers, Midwestern American is a great dialect to start with, and model your accent after.
I have a certification in Teaching English as a Foreign Language, and I have several years of casual experience helping people learn.
Before, I would always do language exchanges,
Where I'd help someone with their English in exchange for help with one of my languages.
But I've been teaching on italki now for about six months, and I've gotten a lot more experience teaching people one on one
On italki I am your teacher and I'm completely dedicated to helping you reach your language goals
I specialize in helping people
improve their accent and pronunciation, learn slang and casual forms of the language,
so that they can make friends in English, enjoy English books,
music, and movies, and fit in in English-speaking communities, in real life or online.
Now, let me show you some of the languages I've been learning, and that I can use to help you.
The first language Iearned was french.
I started when the (french) teacher at my high school quit her job,
and I decided to try to learn french on my own.
When I arrived at more advanced levels, I noticed things about English that
I'd never thought of before.
And I fell in love with languages.
If you speak French as your native language,
I can help you with English if you've reached near-native levels
or even if it's your first day.
Later, I started learning Spanish,
and I love this language, and every day I'm
trying to learn more; to express myself well and to feel
this vibrant language in my mouth
I can help you at any level (in Spanish) because I think
I can explain things in Spanish,
I know that there are a lot of Spanish speakers here on
italki who want to learn English for work, travel, or
to live in the US or any other English-speaking country.
And I'd really like to help you with your goals.
I can also speak a little German
I study it at University, (along with other languages)
And I find it very fun. Speaking German is very fun for me.
I can speak a little Swedish too,
but it's probably my worst language,
and that makes me sad, because it's very beautiful
and I love it SO much
Also, I'm learning Swahili
In fact, I can't speak very much
But I love this language a lot
And I'll continue learning!
So, switching back to English,
Whether you want to learn English for business, travel, or
for a challenge or just for fun,
I'll be glad to help you reach your goals.
We can talk casually or go over a text and work on pronunciation,
or maybe you could write something and we can correct the grammar together.
and at the end you'll get a review of all the grammar points to practice
Whatever we do, I think it'll be a lot of fun,
and I really look forward to sharing my language with you and meeting you!
Bye!

That charm is powerful as invisible It's like defeating it doesnt seem feasible
Frankly I wish it to would happen to us So please dont reduce all my efforts to dust

Don't come any closer I'm begging you please Spare me this disorder, I know that disease
And I don't wanna get infected, Infected with love
I don't wanna get infected, Infected with love

Hands & Needles : In Memoriam, Transmission d'un Héritage (Mikaël de Poissy) - Duration: 51:06.I'm like a Japanese man.
Anyone who gets a Japanese style tattoo...
80% are religious subjects.
Maybe they don't realize it.
I'm making religious subjects as well
A Japanese artist who does only Japanese style,
Which is the case for 80% of the Japanese tattooers.
And 100% of the Polynesian artists do Polynesian style.
I've never met a Polynesian tattooer who does old school style.
Well, I do the same thing...
A French man, tattooing stained glass style.
It comes from my country's culture.
It's a legacy.
It matches me perfectly.
Because I grew up with it.
I mean, I wasn't raised religiously.
My parents were atheists.
I never set a foot in a church when I was a kid.
But I feel concerned.
To me, every small French village,
Has its own church.
Imagine, if I travel to Japan,
And they only feed me Sauerkraut...
And get rid of the temples...
That would annoy me.
I travel to Japan because I want to meet Japanese people.
And see how they live.
But I'm not...
I mean, it's not an obsession.
There are many things about religion,
That I strongly disagree with.
But that's not me, Im not a bigot.
If you look at my life; I'm not a role model.
But it's compatible.
You can like something without acting like it tells you to.
I mean...
There are some art forms that move me.
But culturally I might disagree with.
The fact that I do stained glass and religious art,
It's because...
I have a lot of respect for it.
But people nowadays...
Will easily insult you.
As soon as you talk about religion,
They'll say: "Religion is crap."
When I started the stained glass back tattoos,
Or at least when they were finished.
A lot of people insulted me.
"Ok, whatever..."
That proves how stupid they are.
On the contrary,
I left every bad online comment on purpose.
On some websites,
There was up to 1000 comments about only one photo.
And there's always in that,
5% of morons.
But they'll like,
And find marvelous an Asian style back tattoo.
With an Asian godly figure.
"Well, sorry to tell you that buddy, but I'm doing the exact same thing..."
There has to be movement in this you see...
If your goal is only to use something that already exists,
And copy it, then I shall do realism...
You'll bring me a photo.
You'll tell me; "I want the portrait of this actor."
Of course, I'm not saying that,
...It's easy.It's actually very technical, but,
But except the fact that it has to be the most realistic,
There are already many talented artists.
Who can make do amazing work.
Super realistic tattoos.
That are sometimes more beautiful than the original.
If I had to do it,
I'd suffer...
I'd have to start all over again.
When you look at a realist style portrait,
Except four or five tattooers in the world...
I think that even if you know all of them,
I guarantee you'd have trouble finding who did what.
Some of them have a precise style.
They always use the same colors,
Or the same lighting.
A specific technic.
You can recognize some. But there are many copycats.
In the end...
You can't really tell who's who.
In eastern Europe,
It is quite...
Amazing what they can do.
Here in France,
In realistic style,
There is Théo.
Who's from eastern Europe but settled in France.
Also Julien Thibers.
Who's really talented.
And of course...
There's Tin-Tin who led the way, 20 years ago.
Some people forgot it...
Or don't even know it.
Which is even worse. Many people don't even know that.
Tin-Tin was the first to do this style in France.
Of realistic portraits.
And finally,
Manu from Châlons.
Who's...
In my opinion, for black & white portraits,
The best artist in the world.
I decided to become a tattoo artist,
The first time I met one.
I was expelled from highschool when I was 15.
And couldn't find another one.
So I started studying photography in a vocational school.
When I turned 16,
I made a report about Marcel from Paris.
A lot of my friends had been tattooed by him.
I don't know...
many people that... I mean I don't know anyone,
Who didn't like this man.
He was a real character.
The first time I stepped in his tattoo parlor,
A tiny parlor in fact.
Legendre street, Paris.
I was studying photography,
Of course he reacted by...
Kicking me out.
I was living with my dad.
He took the news quite well.
He said: "You want to be a tattooer?"
"Are you sure?" I said "Yes."
Becoming a tattooer in France in the 1990's was like:
"I want to buy a bear and street perform with it at markets."
Eventually he accepted.
But he forced me to attend the Abbey painters Academy of Poissy.
The first positive impact it had on me,
Was to keep me off the streets.
It helped me to live a better life.
Find a better artistic approach.
That was more fot for me.
I wasn't an outcast, I had both feet on the ground.
When I was young.
But it's not easy for every youth.
Some youths are tougher than others.
The environment I was living in,
I had to dig my way out.
This is the stand where I worked during the first years.
The I was there.
In this one there was a first floor.
It had a window, so I'd sit there.
Because I was tattooing up there.
I'd watch people walking by.
I spent about 8 or 9 years here.
I'll check if my friend is here.
I worked in a tattoo parlor for about 2 years.
Something like that.
Then I met Pierre-Jean at the Clignancourt flea market.
Who had another parlor before.
So he was there way before me.
I was 21 by then.
I asked myself: "Are you able to work there?"
"At the flea market?"
In the Malik market. In 1995.
When it was filled with gangs and pit-bulls.
Fighting over territories.
I thought about it, and decided it would be an experience.
The kind of experience,
You either come out stronger;
Or don't come out at all.
I weighted 120 lbs...
I had snake's shoulders...
Flamingo's legs...
And a quiff hairstyle.
I wasn't the toughest around...
Once I got there, someone helped me right away.
Someone who became a close friend.
His name is Jean-Claude.
A real friend and a true man.
An old-timer.
He took me under his wing.
Then I made other friends.
Like Joël who was a customer at first,
Then a friend.
We've been friends for 20 years now.
To me it's priceless.
They're people living by a code of conduct.
Everybody's talking about the "Code" in our profession.
People often say "old-timer".
But really...
If you really look at it,
It's mostly acting.
But I can assure you, these guys are real old-timers.
There are not many people like them.
Even in the Clignancourt flea market.
If you wanted to open a store, you had to borrow money.
Or you had to have some.
Without friends you'd have to,
Borrow money from the local mafia.
I was lucky to find people like them.
They became my friends, believed in me and helped me.
So I could get a bigger store, with a top floor.
I managed, step by step, to survive out there.
Because I started from the bottom.
I wouldn't have made progress there.
I'd still be the same tattooer.
A mediocre one.
I was like Bugs.
Who was working at a flea market in London.
Except that he already had a name and was known over there.
Whereas I could never have done that at the Clignancourt flea market.
I don't know how to call this place.
but it's magical to me.
In places like that; the first time I got there,
I was stunned by the atmosphere of the store.
You can ask the owner about any book or any author.
Even if the author is from the 1860's and only wrote one book in his life.
You can ask the owner,
He'll go find it in the middle of all the books.
It's not even kept in alphabetical order. And he has millions of books.
He knows them all.
I love this kind of shops. Run by people with passion.
Like people from the flea market, collecting old postcards or other things.
They know what they're talking about.
I like going to the archives section.
Where I can look at,
Illuminated manuscripts from the 14th century.
Or even older things. I've seen ancient rolls.
Illuminated rolls with the king's seal.
it's amazing.
That's why I love this bookstore.
Because...
There's everything there. For all tastes.
I like to come here and read some books.
Memoirs of Rome's court plots.
1877.
This is about,
...Gossips.
From Rome's royal court.
It's a gossip magazine.
From 1677
With these...
These covers.
There was a french tannery that work on human skin.
Some books were covered with human skin.
But it's extremely rare to find one.
Even bookmarks were made of human skin.
Tattooed skin. Sometimes.
I used to go there every week-end.
Drink a coffee.
Read, search and study everything I'd stumble upon.
Old newspapers, or anything I could find.
Anything.
I think that,
Or at least that's the way I see it;
I don't know if others should do it or not.
There's a moment of standstill in your career.
If you manage to,
Have a nationwide reputation.
But if you want to progress,
And go worldwide.
You must re-think your work habits and inspirations.
Either to be remembered;
Or change your point of view.
And perceive things.
Bigger than you.
Bigger than what you can do.
The tryptic was...
I think that in my career,
It was the right time to do it.
If I had done it earlier,
I would have probably failed.
Because it was a lot of work.
I did it because technically I was ready.
I knew I was able to do it.
Making that tryptic,
It was an opportunity to show what I'm capable of.
On a piece that measures,
I don't know the width of 3 backs.
May be this big, so let's say 4 feet.
So 4 feet by 4 feet.
During one and a half years of work.
About 60 hours for each back.
Started at the same time and finished the same week.
So the photos could be published the same week.
It was a thoughtful work.
I knew exactly why I was doing this.
It had a meaning.
I didn't make 3 random appointments.
I called these people and asked them.
If they wanted to do it.
I proposed the idea.
I took time to come up with this.
I asked myself.
What could I do.
To make a significative change in my life.
I was working on awesome projects,
But...
Eventually I would have got tired of that.
I would have found my limits at some point.
It would have been limited to France.
When the 3 backs were published,
Really,
It took me as long to make them.
So about a year and a half.
Then it took about
One more year.
And all of a sudden,
I don't know why.
It was published everywhere.
It was when I got back from my first trip to Japan.
New clients came from all around the world.
This is a church I feel connected to.
I think there are places like that for everyone.
So why the Collegiate church of Poissy,
Because I was born in this town.
And that's where,
Members of my family were buried.
My grandmother came here to pray.
It feels like home.
But I don't...
Want people to think I spend my days in churches.
Recently when I went to the Collegiate church of Poissy,
There's a St.Louis statue that was damaged.
Well not damaged, it was completely destroyed.
I wanted to pick up some pieces of what was left over.
I went to the sacristy.
Where I met an old lady.
Not a Jesus freak,
She was very nice.
We talked for a bit, I showed them my work.
She and her friends come to the shop sometimes.
Maybe this can set a precedent,
I don't know many people passionate about history.
It's like going back to my childhood neighborhood.
It feels like home again.
Not long ago I drove by my childhood neighborhood.
They were renovating the place.
Where I used to play.
They dug around, making huge piles of dirt.
I was with Vero from TattooMania.
I told her: "Wait a sec, gotta get something!"
So I stopped the car and took a big jar from the trunk.
And picked up some dirt.
Dirt from my childhood. She gave me the crazy eyes...
She asked me: "What are you doing?"
"Nothing... Just picking up some dirt."
"You can't understand."
It's like having a fetish for collecting stuff.
Historically speaking it' an important place.
Like many other monuments in Paris.
That I can relate to.
Because I've heard a lot about it.
Notre Dame is a very special monument.
Compared to other monuments you can find in Paris.
I've visited it several times.
I've had the opportunity to visit the attic...
To wander on the roofs.
That's why it's very special for me.
The first time I entered,
The attic of Notre Dame and saw the framework,
My first reaction was: "This looks like a forest!"
The Cathedral's curator said: "We also call it the forest."
"Because 1700 oak trees..."
"Were cut from the Vincennes' forest."
"About 850 years ago, to build this roof."
It remained in the same state.
All these years.
It is now endangered,
Because they put so many electric cables in there.
When you're at the center, you can see all the domes.
I saw long tree paths, with Freemason's symbols engraved.
Also symbols of the Companions.
It's very impressive.
Every time I come to Notre Dame of Paris.
I'm happy to see the priest.
Well he's not a priest, he's a sacristan.
When I see him, I show him my work.
He's always surprised, we can talk about a lot of things.
But they aren't shocked.
"This is a tryptic I've made."
"It took about 300 hours of work."
"Yes."
"It's wonderful; the colors; everything is superb."
"So much detail..."
"So you must have an appointment every saturday?"
"You'll need at least 2 days a month during 1or 2 years."
"It's a long-term project."
"Some people come from countries where there isn't stained glass."
"People from Japan, or Asia. They're not used to it."
"So I brief them before."
This is new in tattooing, I've been doing this job for 20 years.
Stained glass didn't exist in tattoo, no one has done it before.
I had the idea 2 years ago.
And there are already copycats.
Graphically speaking, it was made for that.
"So your customers... Art they?..."
"Faithful?"
"Yes."
"Not necessarily."
But I'm always respectful.
For example, I won't make a cartoony face of the Christ.
I warn my clients, but they don't ask for it.
I've been asked once for a tattoo that wasn't disrespectful but...
But wasn't playing by the rules. So I simply declined.
Some people, for example
Have a grandmother named Bernadette, so they'll ask me to tattoo St.Bernadette.
So yeah...
So I'll make a stained glass tattoo with the attributes,
St Bernadette for example;
She's the Patron Saint of something,
I'll draw it in her hands.
Some of my clients want a tattoo just for that.
To honor or remember a loved one.
I also have a lot of faithful clients.
More and more young people, strangely.
That's it.
Now all my customers come for stained glass tattoos.
I started collecting when I was 5 years old.
I collected rocks.
Started when I was 5, stopped at 7.
And I still have it. A bag filled with my rocks.
I've always been a collector. I think it's in you from childhood.
You live with your belongings.
When I come home at night, my objects are here.
You live surrounded by your things.
That's why it's important, they'll be there my entire life.
I'll see them until my last day.
Unless everything burns...
It's all there.
Which reminds me...
I think Jean Cocteau;
He was asked:
"If your house burned, what would you save?"
The fire, he answered.
Not bad right?
Something that terrifies me about some people;
Who want purified design for their home.
Zero object...
Only a table here, and a chair there.
Whereas I need all my stuff around me;
Because every object will remind me a moment of my life.
Or a friend.
Because he gave it to me.
Or painted it for me.
So I can live around my friends.
Some of them bring me luck, because they're from good moments of my life.
The only downside...
When you're like me; is that you'll need a lot of space.
But I can guarantee that every single object I own.
I remember where I got it, or who gave it to me.
I remember everything.
When I'm gone my collections won't have a purpose.
Because they're my collections.
I mean all of my collections.
In this place and time, they have a meaning.
Because they're mine, it's my life.
But my collections...
Maybe I'll give them away before I die.
To whom; I don't know. Maybe if they create a Tattoo museum...
Unless i'm the one opening it... Just kidding.
Since everyone in my family knows I'm a collector;
Every time someone passes away, they bring me their photos albums.
And I keep everything.
I'm the Guardian of the Temple.
In this chest are...
My collections.
This chest has a story, it belonged to my grandfather.
From when he was a war prisoner.
That's why there's a pin drawn on it.
This was his suitcase.
I have a passion for the past.
I've been stacking for a while now.
I've been collecting everything linked to tattooing.
Here's an example,
"The air travels of a young Parisian around the world."
It's an old magazine.
The hero's name is Tintin.
He's getting a tattoo.
it says: "Tintin in the enemy's hands."
And he's getting tattooed by some African tribe.
It says here: "Tintin thought he'd faint from the pain".
He looks scared.
Mr Zoummeroff is a famous french collector.
He collected a lot about executioners and tattooing.
He has this book...
And the cover of this book is made with human skin.
The tattoo is quite famous.
It says: "Victim of the blue collars."
With a dragon fighting a snake.
before he was guillotined he left his body as a legacy...
To Dr. Lacassagne
And Dr. Lacassagne cut his skin.
And he made a book cover with it.
He was the murderer of Ecully; executed in 1932.
Lacassagne put everything in this book. He probably took this photo himself.
So this guy gave his body to Lacassagne who could do whatever he wanted with.
Because he made a book with it.
On this cover you can see his nipples and some chest hair.
It's quite something.
And when you open this book,
There's a whole page about tattooing techniques.
Written by the convict.
And a few others tattoo on cut skin.
That Dr. Lacassagne used to illustrate his work.
This book was for sale a year ago.
But withdrawn because of the law.
You can't sell something that belonged to a human; bones, skin or anything.
This business is now illegal
So about Dr. Lacassagne;
He also made this; "The crocodile album".
"Tattoo from the Inside".
It's from 1934.
And in there you can find...
A lot of pictures, portraits.
Convicts photographed by Dr. Lacassagne.
With all their tattoos.
He made this book because of his researches;
He was one of the inventors of criminology.
He wanted to prevent those who might turn into delinquents.
Based on the size of the head,
The size of the jaw, or the number of tattoos.
It was the early stages of criminology.
"Let's discourage this evil and idiotic amusement."
Not a good start...
"Since antiquity it had its supporters and artists."
"Let's remember,"
"For many nations it was a sign of punishment for the prisoners."
"American and English neurotics tried to start a trend..."
"This barbaric paint on the skin."
"Some of them engraved with madness their bodies;"
"Fantastical tattoos."
It was a different manner of speaking right?
"Criminals get tattooed by pride and to defy order."
"An illustrated autobiography considered to be quite foolish."
"Because it is the unfailing stigma to mark indentity and acknowledgement."
It was considered as a primitive act.
People didn't understand.
This book here, called "Tattoos from the Inside"
I also have multiples copies of it.
It was made by Jacques Delarue and Robert Giraud.
With photos by Doisneau; so it was a good team.
And some photos from the older book.
Because this is "tattoos from the Inside".
Published in 1950 or 1951 by La Roulotte editions.
And this is "tattoo from Inside" by Dr. Lacassagne.
So they used photos from this book and of course took new ones.
I met the author once, because he lived close from here.
And I told him his book was in the Yokohama Tattoo museum.
But to him, tattooing was a project that lasted a year.
he's mostly famous because he made a book about executioners.
And another one about General De Gaulle and the O.A.S.
What you can find in this kind of books;
in Dr. Lacassagne's "Crocodile album"
Photos like this make sense to me.
That's why...
For my tattoos I include the face in the photo.
The person's face is as important as the tattoo itself.
If you take off the face, what's the point?
it would be meaningless...
Because ou can see the pain on some faces.
"Shall an avenger be born when I die"
What if you couldn't see his face?
There's a famous one...
"Bad face but good heart"
Can you imagine the impact of this photo without his head?
It wouldn't be the same.
He really has the face of a pimp.
It was all part of the same decorum.
If you were in there.
There were codes, with recurring themes.
But it wasn't as much codified as the Russian tattoos.
Or some other cultures... It wasn't that much.
Let's not exaggerate.
But most of them were in the disciplinary battalions,
Many tattoos were about North Africa.
Or people like:
"Unlucky One" or "Child of Misfortune"
So there were some codes.
But it had a meaning.It made more sens than...
Than a salamander on the shoulder...
Now inmates have regular tattooing machines.
They go on the internet and order it on ebay.
They manage to get it in, and tattoo themselves.
My friend Bear built his own tattoo machine un prison.
He was covered with tattoos.
He brought all his former inmates friends along;
From the prison of St. Quentin or Chino.
All these people who had pathologies...
Acting very weirdly when they talk to you.
They couldn't keep their eyes straight; constantly looking over their shoulder.
In prison, danger always came from behind I guess.
I was very impressed with these guys.
They were shaking like leaves.
But they didn't realize they were like that.
Unfortunately their life was like that.
This little box...
It was a gift from a friend named "Bear".
Who was...
From Los Angeles and was an inmate in Chino.
When we met I tattooed in a shop in Whittier.
It's a town close to Los Angeles.
He was a big guy, covered with tattoos.
Which were made with this machine.
He just got out of jail and wanted a new tattoo.
He told me about his machine, wanting to give it to me.
So I told him I'd tattoo him for free in exchange.
He tattooed half of his body;
His friends did the other half.
With a small machine.
It's made with a walkman's rotor.
With a jack cable plug,
To make it spin.
Then a needle through the pen.
it was probably filled with diseases.
Unless he was the only one using it.
I was really happy when he gave it to me.
It's the kind of gift that has a lot of value.
Bear passed away...
Not long after we first met.
A few months maybe a year later.
I was very sad.
If I wanted to tattoo with this machine;
He put 2 dots here for the needle bar.
With only one needle; like they did in the 1970's.
Like what Jack Rudy did in Los Angeles.
Very detailed tattoos; he had faces of...
Women faces made with very thin lines.
With thin hair all in grey shadings.
It's a recognizable style that belongs to them.
So the fact that it's handmade, and that he tattooed himself;
With their graphical culture, these tattoos were authentic.
I think they were more authentic than what I do.
His tattoos made sense. They had a meaning.
Between these 4 walls, the tattoos completely make sense.
At least more than in a parlor, with an appointment made months before.
Some people make you believe you're wrong.
Or make you understand they are right.
And they don't bother as much as you.
And they'r right.
And they're drowning in tattoo.
And they swim in it.
The interesting fact is:
You can talk with anyone, doing any job;
If the person in passionate, he becomes interesting.
Because he will tell you about his job with passion.
Well, Cliff White is like that. Horiyoshi is like that...
Shige as well.
I've spent a day with him, his wife, his daughter...
He showed me a box with his grandfather's bone in it.
Then this, then that; and his bookshelf is filled with...
I said...
Well I couldn't say anything actually.
OK...
So i didn't ask them if they had existential questions.
I wouldn't bother them with that.
You can ask yourself questions; but are they the good ones?
Even them, have question to themselves.
Even at their age.
All your life you'll question yourself. That's what I think.
Then I also realized that;
If I talk with an old tattooer or a traditional tattoo artist.
We speak the same language.
I totally understand the approach of a traditional tattoo artist.
it doesn't matter where he's from.
When I go to Thailand and see traditional tattoos;
Which has become a rare thing in Thailand.
If I show them my work, they will understand it.
They'll be less shocked;
Than an occidental tattoo artist who's not used to work like that.
They will understand. They'll say:
"If he does that, it's because he's from that country."
I think that... At least my style;
Since it's traditional;
But also historical and classical.
I'm sure that anyone; anywhere in the world;
Who's into traditional style.
From his own country, his own culture.
He understands me.
And we speak the same language.
That's what's beautiful.
That what makes the world. It's the differences.
I've been tattooing for 5 years; and the last 2 with Mikaël.
In his tattoo parlor.
I like it a lot; it's all about work and passion.
It's what defines Mikaël and his shop.
The biggest change for me when I started working here;
Is that he has his own personal vision of tattooing.
He has an overflowing passion for this job.
He has an honourable vision.
And in his attitude.
When he looks at other people's tattoos he'll analyze their work axis.
I've improved myself by working with him.
He's always willing to share and give advices.
It's decomplexing.
That's for the technical aspect.
He also has an interesting way of looking at things.
And his work perspectives, on a month, 6 months or a year.
Or even further in time.
It helps me to think about;
How to consider my work on short and long term.
Compared to when I first got here;
I've learned how to direct my work.
About all the projects I'm longing to work on.
Like Japanese style.
I'll pay attention;
To choose the right theme and properly deal with it.
I find a lot of common points between Mikaël and me.
Even though our styles are totally different.
His work has not only details, but also a strong cultural knowledge.
He puts a lot of sens in his work, you can tell just by looking at it.
That's why we're alike, despite our differences.
Because I'm doing stained glass, and was the first one to do so;
Other tattoo artists started doing it too.
More or less successfully.
Some had the politeness to write me a letter first.
"One of my clients wants to do it, but he lives too far away from you..."
"Then sure, go ahead."
Many friends of mine; not all of them...
I don't have that many friends...
But I've been tattooing since I was 18 years old.
You can easily guess that most of my friends;
If they aren't tattoo artists, they're into tattooing.
I don't invite a lot of people in my home.
Because I like being alone.
My closest friends...
Well Tin-Tin lives close from here...
I don't remember how we met... Do you?
No, but I've seen you a lot.
Bruno Kea told me:
"Mikaël de Poissy is a moron, you should meet him."
And maybe some other friend...
He told you I was a moron?
Yep. And he was right.
He told me you were a moron too.
All our friends think we're morons so...
That's why we got along.
So we met through common friends.
I've worked in his parlor a few times...
But it's always the same show...
The same old jokes.
It's good to see new things sometimes.
So I go to other friends parlors.
My shop isn't very prestigious in fact...
The tattooers aren't very talented.
All the guests are good though.
Except for him...
Always a cheapskate...
The less he comes, the better we feel.
It took time before we became close friends.
It's a friendship that...
That was built with time. That's why it's lasting.
It's lasting...
For now...
To him, I'm a friend. But to me, he's a pal.
It has nothing to do with tattooing. It's the opposite.
Same here.
Of course most tattooers are friends with each other.
There's a high probability;
That you'll hang out only with tattoo artists.
Spend all your time in conventions and tattoo parlors.
So obviously, most of your friends are tattoo artists.
But most of the people I don't like are also tattooers.
Really?
There are people you don't like in the business?
That's how it is, when you live in a microcosm.
There are people you like or not.
Usually that's how you meet your wife and friends.
But it's not about work.
Since both of us do that for a living;
I'm sure he doesn't do much else besides taking care of his kids.
Even when he's on a trip.
He has tattoo plans.
He'll visit...
If he goes to Japan, in Yokohama he'll probably go see Horiyoshi.
Or else...
See someone that has something to do with tattooing.
Even if we don't do only that in our life.
Yet we can't help it.
If I go somewhere I'll try to find something about tattoo.
Once a tattooer, always a tattooer...
It's always an occasion to meet foreign artists.
But when we see each other; beside telling bad jokes...
If we can avoid talking tattoo for a week, we'll do it.
It's more of a mood community.
A passion; rather than work.
There's no rivalry between us.
Not at all.
About tattoo artists;
In general...
Amongst all the tattooers I've met;
Some were working in street shops opened 24/7.
Maybe it's something that will need to be preserved.
In 50 years from now.
Because it might disappear.
All these overexploited tattooers;
Tattooers in Las Vegas;
Working day and night;
Like me when I was working in the USA.
Maybe, 50 years from now, people will say:
"This kind of tattooers are disappearing; it's a shame..."
"We should reopen street shops; there are none left."
Yet, after a certain time, it becomes part of the culture.
It's been there long enough. It's part of the picture.
My objective is to work on things;
That have disappeared.
That are forgotten.
And I think it would be a good thing;
To study it.
Go to old libraries, find long forgotten stuff.
Or that have been lost. And study it.
Take them out of the past.
Bring it back to life.
By doing so, you revive the people as well.
The people who lived it, or told the stories.
And you can find amazing stuff.
In every country, every culture, with every tattoo artist;
Have this legacy.
Tattooers recognize each other.
Some of them;
I start writing to because...
We understand each other, talk about the same thing.
We want to preserve things.
So when I'm talking with...
A tattoo artist.
From any country.
Except the new countries like the United States.
They have a great tattoo culture, but not an ancient historical legacy.
But countries that have an ancient history,
Something even older than their religious heritage.
They can find wonderful and amazing subjects.
My personal approach is;
Cultural
And feeding your soul with culturally interesting things.
Digest them.
Then put it in my tattoos.
Create something new with it.
Then show it to people.
To my clients.
Since my clients are following my work;
Most of them are interested and want to know more.
They start reading or studying stuff they wouldn't have.
So it might give them new ideas or desires.
As a consequence;
You inspire your clients, then they inspire you.
Because they are the canvas.
That's why I think that in every country and culture;
There are inspirations.
That are good to use.
You can work on traditional style;
But not copying exactly what has been done before.
That wouldn't make sense.
That's what everybody should do.
At least that's my opinion.
And how I want to work.
And I know there are many other tattoo artists,
Thinking the same way.
And I think that, one day...
We'll talk more with each other.
It'll be good exchanges.
We'll be able to work together.
That's what art is all about...
It's about two people meeting each other.
Handing each other ideas.
"Here, you should try that."
"You'll like this book."
A lot of images.
"Your work is great."
"Yours as well."
That's what it's all about.
Sharing...

NEW ATTEMPT AT AN OLD PROBLEM: PLANNERS [CC] 📆⏲🗒 - Duration: 10:27.
Alton, whatcha doing?
Is this?-- Whatcha doing? Mommy on her phone?
Huh? Is mommy using her phone?
Hey guys, what's up? It is a special day!
Why is it a special day? Because I am
using my iPhone to record this vlog.
All of today's video will be from my iPhone.
I finally upgraded to the-- uh, watch out little man--
Finally upgraded to the iPhone... what is this I guess... 6S? Maybe 7.
No, I think it is the 7 but it's not the Plus.
At any rate,
So I am just getting ready here.
Finishing getting ready to go on my day,
no procrastinating, so that is something.
How are you? Today is, let's see... what is today: Thursday.
Ugh. I'm tired.
What's cool about being able to film on your iPhone
is it is just so darn convenient.
Carry it with you, and turn it on.
I used to not-- I should say, I used to try to film on my old
iPhone, but ummm.... I never had enough memory.
So
My phone would always fill up and it was just really frustrating.
And then transferring the clips, and all that stuff, so...
I'm excited to see how this goes because I have more memory
and umm,
it's just a newer camera.
So, okay, Alton, do you want a treat?
Come here!
Oh come on! Open!
Here... yeahhh....
Good boy!
Can you sit?
Can you sit?
Good boy (music starts to play)
You know what I wish the phone had?
I wish it had the ability to flip the
selfie mode while you're recording.
That's be cool.
(music plays)
Good boy!
Yeah
We on our walk?
Home now, taking Alton on his walk.
PFAC meeting went great.
Such a great group of people.
Love the work that we do there.
It's that time of year where we're
having to do our 2016 accomplishments.
And set our 2017 goals.
So that's what today's meeting was about
and as Chair, it's my job to help wrangle all that
information and data and get in a report
for the higher-ups.
So....
that's what I have been working on.
(music plays)
It is coooold out there!
Okay, good boy!
Free dog.
Good boy!
Off he goes!
Wait for it.
Ahhhh
Oh my goodness
it is good to be home.
I am having a soda.
And some chips and salsa.
A little snacky snack.
I don't know if I like this salsa or not.
It says it's medium.
But it's not very spicy.
And it's very oniony.
Kind of oniony-watery.
And I actually--- even though it's got cilantro in it, I actually like cilantro
it doesn't have a lot
and like cilantro.
Herb, I guess, cilantro's an herb.
People either love it or hate it.
And I actually say I like it.
Especially on Mexican food.
So one of the things I was
determined to do for 2017 was
get more organized.
I tried a lot of different methods in 2016 and
I couldn't really ever get anything to stick.
So I'm trying something new.
I'm trying a planner.
Now I haven't really been a planner person.
Up to this point.
But I found this planner at Target.
It was literally like-- well actually it was just a binder.
It was like three dollars.
And it came with some inserts, that were like a couple
bucks, and some little dividers. Just really
really basic. And then I go on Youtube
and I find this whole like, planner
thing is like a thing. Like there is
"plan with me" and there's planner kits, and sticker kits,
and... it's just-- it's a lot.
But really what I am best at is just
keeping lists.
I am a big list-maker.
So basically, what I have done is
just filled this binder with a bunch of
ruled paper for lists.
I do have a calendar for reference.
And like here is a calendar
so I can write stuff in.
And then I've separated out sections for my different
organizations that I volunteer for.
So within each section I have a list
of things, action items essentially
that I need to work n and that's it.
I have a YouTube section.
And yeah, that's basically the whole--
oh I do have some pockets
back here which is nice.
But that's it. That's the whole planner.
No budgets, no meal plans,
Nothing fancy.
And I'm really excited to see if this works. So far it
has been really helping me stay organized.
I do go through every night and see
what I've gotten done and then if I don't get something done I add it to the next day's list.
So um, I want to live with this for a few weeks
or maybe even a couple months and then I'll do like a proper
planner video to share with you my
experiences. Like I said because I've
been through like tried lots of
different things you know, busy calendars,
you know complex calendars, simple
calendars, no calendar, e-calendars. And
umm, they just haven't worked, so
hoping this might be my answer. I will keep you posted.
So one thing you probably don't know
about me is that watch very little
current television shows. I would say
there's two shows that I watch most
regularly and that's the Goldbergs and
Mom.
Other than that if I wanna watch TV I go to my
archives and now online thanks to Hulu and
Netflix. On rotation are: Frasier, King of Queens,
Cheers, Friends and every couple
years I have to go back and watch Murphy
Brown. I love that show. They've only
released the first season on DVD which
is incredibly frustrating citing royalty
music problems. It's just a really good show. I
love Murphy, she's a journalist, she's out
spoken, she's a liberal, she is about, you
know-- The show is about the news which is
something that I love.
Yeah, this is kind of my happy place:
soda
chocolate
and just unwinding with some mindless
television. So any rate, that's going to be the rest of
my evening here. Other than that I'm also going to be
working on some edits for my channel and
that's a wrap!
So, thank you so much for watching. You know,
making this content and sharing on
YouTube and you know having this project.
It's really a joy and I'm so thankful
that people watch and I love watching other peoples.
So thank you and I hope
you're having a good start to your New Year.
Cheers!
(music plays)
I'll see you on the next one.
Bye!

Kinesiske Lunar nytår | Lunar nytår 2017 Januar 28 2017 Google Doodles Lunar nytår 2017 - Duration: 5:19.
Dagens Doodle fejrer Lunar Nytår 2017
(Hong Kong, Taiwan, Kina)
Med fyrværkeri, stegte dumplings, og Fai Chun, dagens Doodle
glæder sig over årene af hane.
En tid med fest med familie og venner, Lunar nytår falder
på den første nymåne mellem 21 januar og 20.
februar hvert år.
Mens dette betyder datoen er altid skiftende, traditioner
omgiver ferien har længe været den samme.
op til det, familier rengøre ofte deres
hjem for at skubbe ud uheld og gøre plads til lykke.
Når nytårsaften ankommer, kære mødes til
en reunion middag, hvor poon choi - et stort fad pakket
med kød, fisk og grøntsager ofte delt.
På nytårsdag, rød indretning og kuverter vrimler, mens
løve dansere, papir lanterner, og fyrværkeri fylder gaderne.
Sagnet siger, at mange af disse traditioner stammer fra afværger
den Nian, en mytisk bæst, der ville angribe en gammel landsby
hver nytårsdag.
Med hjælp fra en mystisk gammel mand, landsbyboere snart lært
at den skabning var bange for farven rød, samt højt
lyde - og så festlighederne begyndte.
Selvom Nian aldrig vendte tilbage, heldigvis festlighederne gjorde.
Her er til sundhed, lykke, og lykke i det nye år!
For kinesisk, i Kina og i etniske samfund rundt omkring i verden, Månens nye år er
den vigtigste og mest festlige ferie af året.
Gennem århundreder af Kinas agrare tradition, dette var den periode, hvor landmændene kunne
hvile fra deres arbejde i markerne.
Familiemedlemmer fra nær og fjern vil rejse til være med deres kære i tide til at indvarsle
ud det gamle år og velkommen i den nye, med stor festlig blomstre.
Med en kalender fra det tredje årtusinde f.Kr., det kinesiske folk har i tusinder af
år været at bygge på gamle skikke nytårsfesten.
Selv om de kan variere fra region til region, landsby til landsby, og selv familie til familie
i henhold til social position, er mange af disse skikke stadig overholdes.
I dag, over hele Kina, under hvad der nu almindeligvis omtales som Spring Festival, er passagertog,
busser og flodbåde fyldt med ferierejsende; butikker gøre en byge af business sælge
gaver, nyt tøj, og festlige fødevarer; køkkener er travle med forberedelserne til udførlige
fester; og gader er fyldt med lyden af fyrværkeri og sæsonbestemte hilsener.
Dagens Doodle hylder til Lunar nytår 2017
