   Zhang Yuxi was born in China, 1980 & graduated from Harbin University majoring in sculpture. The artist's work is easily recognizable by the tri-eyed little yellow boy, a main character he created in most of his work which represents hope & positivity. The tri-eye character represents the three different stages of life.

HAIKU Art Review: Zhang Yuxi

Little yellow man

Blinded by colorful past

All seeing 3rd eye?

    “The little boy reflects the experiences of those born during the 1980’s. As I was born in this time period, I know it well & portray this with childhood innocence.”

Worst Asian Ever: Shun Gon in The Aristocats

Shun Gon  #WAE

   Shun Gon is one of the alley cats band members. He plays the piano & drums & is supposed to be Chinese.

   The character & way over-the-top treatment was clearly informed by Mickey Rooney's infamous portrayal of I.Y. Yunioshi in Breakfast at Tiffany's
