Celebrating the Disco Hit "Kung Fu Fighting"

Posted

T-shirt with a graphic of a man dancing at a disco nightclub with the text below the graphic reading "Surely not everybody was kung fu fighting"

In 1974, Carl Douglas released his smash disco-era hit "Kung Fu Fighting". 

The first 3 lines of the song go:

Everybody was kung fu fighting
Those cats were fast as lightning
In fact, it was a little bit frightening

Inspired by the nostalgia of this song for someone of the disco-era like me 😂😂😂 I came up with some fun images for T-shirts and a range of other merchandise that I hope you will enjoy. 

You can find all the "Kung Fu Fighting" themed artworks in my Kung Fu Fighting Collection at my Redbubble store. I hope you find something fun and feel prompted to buy something to set off some laughter with your friends and bring back a flood of warm memories of the disco era.

Posted
Ollie Grandpa Stepping into the freedom of retirement after a long, 45-year career completely shifts your perspective. You finally have the time to let loose, hit the road, and truly embrace the fun side of life! That joyful, unrestrained energy is exactly what I wanted to capture in my newest Redbubble collection.

These make fantastic graphic tees, travel mugs, or stickers for your own "Fa...

Finding Warmth in the Wild: A Western Gay Romance Story

Posted
Gay Cowboys Reading Under the Mountain Sky There is a specific kind of silence out in the wilderness, far from city lights — a quiet that draws people together. With my latest digital artwork, "Under the Mountain Sky," I wanted to capture that feeling of finding your own private world in the middle of a vast landscape. A Story by Firelight This romantic image features a gay cowboy couple sharing a quiet evening, settling in against a tree to read by the light of a campfire. It's a simple moment, but it speaks volumes about comfort, safety, and deep affection. I focused heavily on the lighting contrast to tell this story. The warm, dancing oranges and yellows of the fire represent that safe, shared space of connection. Outside of that glow, the cool purples and deep blues of the twilight mountain range stretch out, emphasizing that all they need is right there in that circ...

Capturing Serenity: Dive into the Mystical World of the Pale Blue Iris

Posted
"Ethereal Iris" — the finished artwork. © John Corney The bearded iris is one of the most rewarding flowers to photograph, and one of the most difficult to photograph well . Its ruffled, almost impossibly intricate petals catch light beautifully — but they also sit in busy garden beds, surrounded by foliage and distractions that pull the eye away. This post is the story of one iris, and how it travelled from a quick phone snapshot to the finished artwork I've called Ethereal Iris . The Garden I Always Meant to Visit I first heard of Descanso Gardens many years ago, when it was featured on one of Huell Howser's shows on PBS . Like a lot of viewers, I watched, thought "what a lovely place — I really must go there someday," and then somehow never did. The years went by and Descanso stayed on the someday list. What finally got me there was my photography friend Denise, who sugge...
