Aliens on Bronx Summer Street

I took part in the Bronx Museum’s Boogie On The Boulevard on 17^th Sunday August.

One was Mr. Papo Jr. Drawing Art show by my friend, cartoonist Ivan Velez. We enjoyed drawing the fabulous models in super hero’s costume. 

Other one was my art project Aliens in New York.

I carried  Irish man, Puerto Rico man, Ukraine woman,  Kenya woman,  Ecuador man,

Mexican man, Dominica Republic woman of Peekaboo-kuns.

I didn’t create art certificates in this time because of short of budget, but it was still fun and many passer-by enjoyed those Peekaboo-sculptures.

Drawing of a super woman model and children. I draw one sketch in 3-5 minutes.

I love this quick moment!

Peekabooing people are enjoying talking each other.

My friend, artist Laura Alavrez becomes Irish man. 

And!

August 2014 was 20th Anniversary of Peekaboo-Art!

I have started creating Peekaboo-sculpture and showed them on Harajuku Pedestrian Street  in August 14th Sunday 1994.
