Member Tosh Posted March 3, 2010 Member Share Posted March 3, 2010 Thought I'd get something artistic done, inspired by the Thai gold and black work, tried a couple different things with my camera to show off the goldleaf - Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Member Tosh Posted March 4, 2010 Member Share Posted March 4, 2010 Thank you MarsHarmony, the Thai work is way more intricate, I had a really bad pixelated pic I pulled online to go on, guess I'll have to go to Thailand and get my own pictures:wink: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LOL thanks for sharing everyone! Wahhhhhhhh???????? No brother, I really enjoyed them! Sorry I forgot to comment. The last few months have been nuts- one thing after another. In fact, you should post them here. I keep meaning to post some new pics here too. Tosh- I love that you work in so many different mediums man. This latest one is a beauty. Wolcott- Ahhh, one of my favorite films! You have a distinct style like no other! Love the composition of characters, and you captured a certain expression that Kara often makes- very nice.

Member gorhama Posted June 20, 2010 Member Share Posted June 20, 2010 Hey all to keep this post alive.....Kung Fu Bob has graciously offered to post some pics of not only my recent artwork (I'm hoping his as well...ahem ) but of when I meet Jim Kelly and Fred Williamson. I'm currently working a Scott Adkins as Boyka piece and when I'm done I will finally post some new stuff after scanning it in!! I hope this thread continues to see life agains!!

Administrator KUNG FU BOB Posted June 20, 2010 Author Administrator Share Posted June 20, 2010 Okay, true story... Well... my buddy (and yours) Gorhama, called to say that none other than Jim Kelly was going to be making a rare guest appearance at a convention in Chicago that he would be attending. THE undisputed "King of Cool Afros"! One of my favorite Blaxploitation stars! Blackbelt fucking Jones! So, in a fifth of the time that it usually takes me to create a similar piece, I rushed my way through a drawing of Big Jim for Gorhama to present to him. The original drawing was done with ink on paper, but- for the first time ever- the entire thing was colored in PhotoShop! I simply didn't have the time to do it the traditional way. I've only recently been given this techno tool, and began playing with it (and thank God for mucho guidance from Tosh!!! He's a lifesaver). I must say, it's very interesting and helpful. However, I had to "paint" this using a standard mouse, as I didn't have one of those fancy "computer art pads/w/ stylus" thingamajigs. That wasn't easy! After 41 years of drawing with pencils, pens, markers and paintbrushes, I wasn't exactly adept at weilding the mouse! LOL Anyway, I decided to go for a look similar to the action movie posters of the '70s, and maybe I even took it... well... a little too far! You guys be the judge. BTW, Gorhama draws ocassionally, as a hobby (in fact, I have a bitchin' Batman picture that he gave me hanging up in "The Temple") and when I said I was going to do a drawing of Jim Kelly, he decided to try his hand at one too. For a guy that only dabbled in art throughout his life, I think he did a really nice job. I love the style he used, and the exagerrated afros! The good news is: G presented our drawings to Jim, and said that he was "absolutely thrilled", thanked him at least four times, and his assistant later told him that he'd "never been given anything like that in all the years she's been with him" and that he "raved about it throughout the day". Gorhama said that Jim was as cool as you could imagine (dressed in an orange gi!), still in awesome shape, very friendly, and even (in his "Williams" voice) said "Man, you come straight out of a comic book!". My kung fu brother was kind enough to send me photos of the event, and when I asked if it'd be okay, he was totally fine with me sharing them with all of you. So, see attached photos! But the best part? Jim asked G for my e-mail address so that he can "thank me personally" (say WHAT?!) and of course he signed prints of our art for both Gorhama and I. CAN YOU GUYS DIG IT? I knew that you could.

Yeah, if Gorhama wasn't such a cool guy I would have been very jealous. But he totally deserved to have such a great experience. Plus, he graciously took my art there to present to Jim and get one signed for me. We didn't know that "The Hammer" was going to be there or we would have done something for him too! Hopefully when Gorhama gets a chance he can relate a bit more of his experience meeting these gents. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Member Fang Shih-yu Posted June 21, 2010 Member Share Posted June 21, 2010 Fine art from Gorhama, as well as KUNGFUBOB! Then that documentation of Gorhama meeting Jim Kelly and Fred Williamson! They both look great! Gorhama and KUNGFUBOB have enough bragging rights to last them the rest of the year! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrator KUNG FU BOB Posted June 21, 2010 Author Administrator Share Posted June 21, 2010 Thanks Fang, Gorhama said both of those guys were really, really cool too!

Member Tosh Posted June 22, 2010 Member Share Posted June 22, 2010 Awesome stuff Bob and Andy, I'm sure you made his day, it's great to know you have fans that put forth the effort that you guys did for him. I've finished up and working on a few things that aren't Asian related, though I have another Samurai Frog in the works. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Member Tosh Posted June 23, 2010 Member Share Posted June 23, 2010 Dude, even if it's not "Asian related", I want to see any of your new work! Alrighty, most of my art is culturally influenced, this one is Melanesian-Papua New Guinea spirit mask I did for an art show in Lauderdale along with the pen and ink. About to finish up an Inca/Peruvian piece hopefully soon. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
