The working title of this piece was Hong Kong Hipshot, which is still a pretty nice title but I ended up going with Xiao Pai Long which is Cantonese for “Small White Dragon” because of the white dragon graffiti in the background
Actually, it began as a wardrobe test for Hardboiled but it looked so nice I decided to work it up as a standalone piece. I’m a huge fan of Hong Kong cinema in general and John Woo in particular, so this is yet another one of my HK inspired works
Seeing the girl, I admire her, but would be very horrified to see her victims!
They had it coming…
nice suit………………..
I do love me a seifuku
…..a navy uniform or a school uniform?…..
Seifuku is how you’d say sailor outfit in Japanese, but it is understood to be a school uniform. This is a tradition they adopted from Europe…
Epic figure. Happy new year. Kung hei fat choi. That’s cantonese.
Yeah, you’d think I’d use Cantonese for a Hong Kong cinema tribute piece, but I use Mandarin without a second thought…
Fabulous image, like it. Happy New Year
and may you have an auspicious year of the dog
Very nice sailor suit, she wears it well.
She knows how to rock a seifuku
It’s part of my favorite theme. She is dressed in sailor’s clothes. Cool is even with these two guns.
Having two guns is important in HK cinema
Love it! Happy New Year!!!
Gong xi fa cai, may you have an auspicious year of the dog
The land owner that we rent the dog grooming shop came by with a red envelope : D He is Cantonese.
They do love their red envelopes
Love a girl in uniform & she is drop dead gorgeous in this sailor suit! The smoking gun adds to your sizzling background, perfect!
This piece really came together, it was only meant to be a materials test…
