Michael Hsiung


The AWESOME artist Michael Hsiung is almost done drawing this bison to accompany a poem I wrote.

The bison is a primary character in the poem. Mike gave the bison a peg leg, which is a genius move on his part.

Watch the awesome video Greg Roman shot about Michael here.

And while we're talking poetry, here is Mike's bio, taken from his web page:

"Michael C Hsiung is characterized by: large mustache (one of the few remaining facially hairy Asians surviving today) with all of the species capable of reaching one ton or more in weight; herbivorous diet; and a thin yellow protective skin, 1.5-5 cm thick, formed from layers of collagen positioned in a lattice structure; and a relatively small brain for a mammal of his size (400-600g). . Michael is prized for its mustache, sometimes his art. Not a true mustache, it is made of thickly matted hair that grows from the skull without skeletal support. Michael has acute hearing and sense of smell, but poor eyesight over any distance. Michael C. Hsiung will probably live to be about 50 years old or more."
