David Foox on Sung Kang and Artistic Marketing
elenastevenson [Top] [Bottom] Total Posts: 214 Level: 4, Pins: 5 EXP 12/18/2008 1:01am From the Elena Stevenson blog, by elenastevenson on 2008-12-17 20:00:56 (original link) Holy Tokyo Drift! That’s Sung Kang—bigger than life. This mural’s on the wall of Taiwan-based Jump Shoes’ flagship store in SoHo. But how did it get there? Meet David Foox—a New Zealand artist with an eye for Asian symbolism. Plus, see Sung Kang’s last three short films with Jump Shoes and Arowana Films. (more...)

soybean [ # 4 ] [Top] [Bottom] Total Posts: 427 Level: 5, Pins: 6 EXP 12/18/2008 1:15am I never understand the concept of “selling out”. If you’re doing what makes you happy, who cares!

elenastevenson [ # 11 ] [Top] [Bottom] Total Posts: 214 Level: 4, Pins: 5 EXP 12/18/2008 5:04am Yes, and I just became badgeralmanac’s first friend on here… Thanks, everyone, for the kudos. Glad you enjoyed the artist’s perspective. And thanks, Foox, for a great interview. It’s cool to see how Asian symbols and thought have influenced people from all over the world. http://elena.ningin.com

badgeralmanac [ # 13 ] [Top] [Bottom] Total Posts: 2 Level: 1, Pins: 1 EXP 12/18/2008 7:35pm Asian symbols seem to typically revolve around concepts of LUCK, FORTUNE, PROSPERITY, EASE OF LIFE, and SUCCESS. And since these are nice things to wish upon yourself, those around you, and the world at large, I find it crucial to include in my artwork. For instance, the bird called the crane, the number 8 and 88, and magical dragons are all fortuitous symbols. That is my thoughts on that! Badger Almanac
japangirl [ # 14 ] [Top] [Bottom] Total Posts: 1137 Level: 8, Pins: 10 EXP 12/18/2008 7:52pm That’s very creative. I completely forgot that 8 meant fortune/luck. haha
MaimounahMasudi [ # 15 ] [Top] [Bottom] Total Posts: 824 Level: 7, Pins: 8 EXP 12/18/2008 8:57pm I always enjoy reading your Sung Kang blogs Elena! I can’t wait to see him in the next FF movie, the prequel!
