  In the half decade that I’ve been slaving away in Hong Kong thus far, I've worked with and befriended many of my childhood heroes.  By the nature of my work, they consist mostly of martial arts actors and choreographers; however, through the splendor of this online community (dubbed http://www.alivenotdead.com) I have gotten the wonderful opportunity to befriend talented people of many different disciplines.  One of whom is someone that I’ve admired since high-school and college.  His name is Pat Lee (best known as the legendary comic book artiste who brought the G1 Transformers back to life). 

   

  I remember being introduced to him for the first time a good while ago by another Patrick Lee (the big boss).  Being shameless, I immediately took out a small portion of my comic book collection and requested that he raise their value by marking his name on their covers.  So you can easily imagine my excitement at the most recent AlivenotDead.com/Diesel event.  It’s been a while since I’ve been to a real-time painting exhibition, and never would I have imagined that I’d be standing so close to a modern day comic book legend as he painted some of my favorite characters on the side of wall in the middle of Hong Kong.  Below are a few pictorial highlights of that fine evening.

   

  A big thank you to Rozy and Raffi for taking these pictures for me as the person who played the character of Tank Wong in a movie called Star Runner dropped my camera onto the hardwood floor of my home a couple of weeks ago...

   

  
  

  
  

  

  “I want a bat symbol on my chest too!”

  
  

   

  

   

  

   

  

  “I’m pretty sure I know this guy… didn't he come to Hong Kong a few months ago?”
  
  

   

   

  I had to take Patrick Lee out with a swift right to the jaw for impersonating Pat Lee.

  
  

   

  

  I was lucky enough to get my photo taken with my favorite super-heroine duo.  I’m pretty sure they can fly, but they chose to arrive in a car.

  「黒で描かれた絵の壁、そして　たくさんのすごいものたち・・・・」

  香港であくせく働いてきたこれまでの5年間で　僕は子供の頃のヒーローの多くとともに働いたり、仲良くなったりした。

  
  僕の仕事の性質上、たいていは格闘技系の俳優や振付師たちなんだけど、このオンラインコミュニティ（http://www.alivenotdead.comと呼ばれる、）のすばらしさから、いろんな違った分野の才能のある人々と仲良くなれるすばらしい機会を得た。その中の一人、僕が高校・大学の頃からあこがれていた人、彼の名前はパット・リー（Ｇ1トランスフォーマーを甦らせた伝説的な漫画作家としてよく知られている）。
  
  も うずいぶん前に別のパトリック・リー（ビッグ・ボス）から　初めて彼を紹介してもらったときの事を今でもおぼえてる。厚かましくも、僕はすぐに自分の漫画 本のコレクションの中から一部を持っていって、表紙に彼の名前を記し、価値をあげてもらおうと頼んだんだった。だから、つい最近の AlivenotDead.comとディーゼルのイベントでの僕の興奮っぷりが想像つくでしょう？実演絵画展なんてひさしぶりだなあ。それに香港のど真ん 中で、壁の端っこで僕の大好きなキャラクター達を描いている現代の漫画本の伝説の彼とこんなすぐそばに立ってるなんて思いもしなかった。以下はあの素敵な 夜のハイライト写真です。
  
  これらの写真を撮ってくれたロージーとラフィに多大なる感謝・・・というのも、2週間前に　スターランナーっていう映画で　タンク・ウオンっていう役を演じた人物が僕のうちで堅木の床の上に僕のカメラを落っことしたから・・・・。

  「ヤダもう、このフィルとかいうヤツ、私に話しかけるのヤメてくれないかしら…」
  

   

  「ねえ、レイス、いいかい、パットに彼の知ってる事全部を教えたのは僕なんだぜ？」
  

  
  

  

  「みんなが帰ったら直ぐに、ビルのこっち側全部を家に持って帰る方法を見つけるぞ…」

   

  

  「 この人、かなり知ってるかも・・・数ヶ月前にも香港に来なかった？」
  

   

   

  パトリック・リーがパット・リーの真似するもんだから、つまみ出す為に顎に素早く一発かまさなくちゃいけなかった。

   

  

  僕のお気に入りのスーパーヒロインデュオと写真が撮れて超ラッキー。彼女らはぜったい飛べると思うんだけど、車で到着するほうを選んだ。
