Sometimes I invite friends unfamiliar with the kung fu genre to my Kung Fu Movie Night hoping to perhaps indoctrinate new fans. However, I often forget there are sometimes steep cultural and genre hurdles that can impede the enjoyment for a new recruit. This guide
Quick motion graphics piece I did of Donnie Yen's performance of Guan Yu in The Lost Bladesman. It's based on one the tales of The Romance of the Three Kingdoms.
A few months ago I had the opportunity to do some animation, illustration and post revisions for an independent film called Meet the Patels! See the premiere at the LA Film Festival June 14 and 17. It's a very funny and charming documentary about Ravi's quest
Watched a couple of Chen Kwan-Tai movies this weekend and was inspired to create a portrait of the man, the legend!
Eastern Condors is a Dirty Dozen-style feature where a rag-tag group of military convicts accept a suicide mission back into Vietnam to earn their freedom. It also features some of the most epic fights and stunts in any Sammo movie I have ever seen. [youtube id="DZvdBvTXHuo"
Dirty Ho (1979) is another classic Lau Kar-Leung action comedy from illustrious Shaw Brothers studios. It's probably not what you think it's about.
I hope to showcase some of my favorite wuxia films here, or just kung-fu movies in general. Jackie Chan, Lau Kar Leung, Sammo Hung, Jet Li, Donnie Yen, Bruce Lee, Michelle Yeoh. Shaw Brothers, Golden Harvest, and H Brothers. Looking forward to it!
I revisited and completely redid my drawing of Cheng Pei-Pei as Golden Swallow from the classic kung-fu flick "Come Drink with Me." Hopefully will be bringing some of my designs to t-shirts soon.
Congratulations to my sister Aliese Andersen for graduating at PAFA with an MFA in Fine Art. You can check out her impressive portfolio here.
A drawing I did based on the movie Tai Chi Hero of the character played by one of my favorite all-time HK stars, Yuen Biao. It's a sweet kung-fu flick in the vein of Scott Pilgrim and Kung Fu Hustle.
