.....When I first seen this piece it immediately transported me back to the late seventies, I was 10 years old, and Kung Fu mad, we had just moved to South Africa from England, and at the time of moving "Kung Fu" with David Carradine was playing on the television as a series, a hit series if I remember correctly.....but when we arrived in South Africa, television wasn't even there yet, can you believe it, as a ten year old I remember being devastated, no TV, what!!!!...Ha Ha Ha....anyway, the movie Enter the Dragon had started showing at the cinemas, we had those, I mean we weren't that bad, and me and my brother went to see the movie, I mean we were the resident experts, we were celebrity's, we had seen TV!!!...Ha Ha Ha anyway I digress, after the movie it was walking home time and of course we were trying out all the latest Kung Fu tricks we had learnt through the movie, obviously we were Sensei', we had just watched Bruce Lee for a hour and a half Ha Ha Ha...we walked past a novelty shop and there it was, a full size A2 poster of Bruce, standing in this exact same pose, in amongst the room full of mirrors, I mean what fate had brought us to this very moment, I had to have it, it was magnificent, suffice to say I got it, it was my treasure, it hung on the wall in my bedroom for I dunno how many years, he was my hero, still is as a matter of fact, well one of them anyway....so as I was saying as soon as I seen this, I had to do a desktop with it, but it wasn't big enough, I'm sure you felt my dismay from where you are sitting right now, ja that was me you felt....so I popped it into Photoshop, lucky it was on a white background and had already been deep edged, so I cut him out, made a couple of shadow layers behind him, placed him on top with a color burn gradient, see I can talk the talk now, Photoshop talk for those appies out there that don't understand Ha Ha Ha Ha...I've only had it 3 months, I'm an expert, soooo this is what I ended up with, a desktop of the Legend, the Warrior....The Man.....I bet most of you looking at this desktop will remember this pose, this exact same illustration from years gone by, I hope you enjoy this journey back to your childhood as much as I did....Enjoy the Bruce, who by the way would kick Chuck Norris's BUTT, with one hand tied behind his ankle Ha Ha Ha
