Teddy Bear Art Exhibit

Alright, I recently participated in an art show at my Chinese Painting class. This was a teddy bear exhibit with lots of different artists. I entered three paintings into the show: Tyson Bear, Shoe Store Bears and Chinese Chop Bear. Hope you enjoy

The King

i have decided not to write any history or put up any videos because i am sure that a million other people have done that already so i will just give you an idea of how amazing this man was with a little story.

i have been teaching young students in taiwan for three years and would always play music at lunchtime or when they were writing. one day i made a cd with some michael jackson songs for them, after a few days all of my students would be singing the songs in the hall or requesting the songs by name. after that i decided that they needed to see some videos, so during movie time we watched thriller because it was the only video that i had on vcd. a few weeks later a six year old girl in my class told me that she bought the michael jackson number ones dvd. soon after that they all started dancing and singing even more songs. when it came time for our graduation play they all voted to have thriller as the ending song. that is how cool he was to them, and the coolest thing about the class that let me know that they really did like him and think that he was cool...their favorite video was "don't stop til you get enough" how wicked is that for a six year old recognize a master when they see one.

this year my new class of three year olds decided that their graduation song was going to be "rockin robin" sang by the jackson five. they sang beautifully and danced like young michaels. they still ask me to play it even though graduation is over.

goodbye king you will be missed all over the world.

The Man

We I am sure that all two of you have been wondering where the name "Bulletproof Toast" came from, what it means and most of all what that mofo looks like?? Well I am here to answer some of those questions. The name?? well it appeared out of thin air, I was just walking down the street and it just popped into my head, I liked it because it sounded cool and made no sense at all, but it was fun as hell. What does it mean?? It means exactly what it says "Bullet-motherfuckin-proof Toast". If those first two answers were not that satisfying I understand, so for the final question I decided to skip the description and get a pic to show you how he gets down.

Me and stuff...

Its been a long time since I have made a post, so I am writing this to the two people that come here each week to let them know that I am still alive and still painting and drawing. Today I will give a little info on the previous posts. I am what they call a sneakerhead, I love shoes and will do almost anything to get my hands on the ones that I want. The idea for a lot of my recent paintings comes from my love for sneakers and of retro shit like 80's movies, cartoons, music...basically whatever I think is funny or cool. The ideas behind the pictures are different superheros wearing Nike Dunks. I drew the characters with the shoes on and I gave the shoes new colorways to match the colors of the superhero. Its was a small idea that is growing and I am getting excited about, because the possibilities are endless. That's all for today but I will be back soon with some new shit for the peeps.

Jordan 3's anyone?

Another pic that is finally finished and ready for the show, and a video bonus just in case you forgot.

?? Some Chinese painting ??

I have been studying Chinese painting three times a week for the past two and a half years. It is something that I enjoy and I will be the first to tell you that it is no joke, if you have ever studied art or are artistic in any way it makes no difference because it will frustrate you to the point of insanity. Imagine learning how to walk again or how to use a knife and fork again, well that is sort of what it feels like when you first start learning. Anyway it is a lot of fun and after a while you really start to appreciate it and love doing it. So here are a few of my latest works.

Still Grindin

Well its been a little while since the last post but we are getting closer to the art show and things must be finished. Today we have a finished pic of Iceman wearing some icy blue dunks and a pic that needs to be painted, you can try to guess who they are. If you are having trouble you can check out the video below for the answer.
