"Trump Spewing Real Bullsh*t" Artwork Goes Viral


"Trump Spewing Real Bullsh*t" Artwork Goes Viral

I created a large, scathing, icon-like, anti-Donald Trump mixed-media painting/sculpture made with real bull manure that I collected from the hills near my studio in the San Francisco Bay Area, California.

Please feel free to share the (gone viral) gif version of the artwork: http://gph.is/1pe6onP

Despite the bombardment of negative comments about this artwork online, it is rewarding that it is also resonating with many people from all over the world who see this candidate exactly as I've depicted him.

Hope you like it. Much peace and love to you.

Knights on Fire ~ Live at City Hall Hayward



It was an honor for us to play at An Evening For the Arts at Hayward City Hall recently. 


Thanks to Frank Goulart for suggesting us and Valerie Caveglia for having us.

I'm so proud of my kids for playing so well, being fearless, bringing such joy and emotion in concert.

I created a video of our performance of La Valse d' Amelie. I tried to express my deep love for my family through my violin and in the editing of this video.

I have dedicated it to them. 
I hope you enjoy it! Peace & love to you always, ~andy



Knights on Fire features Jenna Kun Nai Knight on Piano, Drew Cuong Knight on Guitar and Andrew Kong ...

Andrew Kong Knight's "Hayward Meets Hollywood" Mural Tryptic Completed after 2 Years of Labor


Movie Theater Tower ~ Andrew Kong Knight
Hayward Meets Hollywood ~ Andrew Kong Knight


Night at the Silver Screen~ Andrew Kong Knight

In a recent interview, Russ Wright asked me how does it feel to be done with a project like this, how does your heart feel?

I told him that finally being done and having the scaffold removed is such sweet sorrow.


It's sweet because you're finally done with all the stress and labor that goes into producing something so massive.

 
It is sorrow because you're saying goodbye to one of your loved ones, your "baby". You wish it the best of luck and you hope the world likes it and takes care of it.

I hope you enjoy this creation.
