Back in March, I decided to begin drawing buses, trains and elevators using digital arts on the computer, while the real-life fanning of trains, buses and elevators continues to be paused because of the pandemic going on. That way, I don't have to fear about anything that's happening in the world and instead, continue to be inspired and being myself in the arts and aliveness that surrounds me from my right brain. Here is an drawing above of a animated elevator that's turned out to be beat up, with vandalized cab and a door that says, "BUTT", "IN YOUR AS(TEC)". The graffiti also features a skull on the wall, and a sticker that's actually taped says, "Something's up." Plus, my writings (in graffiti) says, "Now this is more like it! For abstract music" (this is a feeling of my new vibe which includes vinyl beats and crazy needle rips rather than to spin it like a normal DJ), and this is set back to the year 1986, in a fictional city I like to call "Apothica City." This is also a Dover elevator with custom buttons and a custom installed emergency phone on the top, (which makes it non-ADA compliant :D). Back in my teens, I used to make animated elevators for YouTube. In fact, at age 12-13, I made some animated elevators on my old Windows XP laptop which didn't had WiFi, and some that was inspired by one of my relatives house ha ha! I actually went on a small hiatus at age 15 after I created an animated elevator with the real-looking graphics and real elevator sounds once edited on a video editor. But, in 2017 though, I made an exclusive elevator for my upcoming life change at the "ZONE building", and has a whimsical floor passing chime that rings, "DIESELDUCY!," you know, one of the best YouTube elevator stars, and a jazzy saxmonica directional chime as well as the so-jazzy voice on the elevator cab. This is what's called an historical comeback, when I will continue to not forget my memories of my childhood like watching some kids shows, The Upside Down Show, Chuggington, Boohbah, etc. and also me folding up some paper buses when I was 9-10 years old. I have a paper bus display in my closet of a New Flyer Xcelsior, celebrating over 10 years of my childhood in making paper buses to take with me on a trip. But then, there was some cons of paper buses: 1. they can easily get wet and will ruin the colors on print, 2. paper buses, just like any other paper origami crafts, will accidentally get smashed down or torn apart, and 3. it's not much high quality than a traditional die cast toy. But in other cases, I really love buses, trains and elevators in any place, any city, and hopefully when this crap ends, I will start filming real-life transportation once again to Metropolis Center and have the world become inspired in the realm of fanners out there! Stay tuned for the update on when the real-life fanning resumes on MC DevTube and Facebook and as always, keep being videopunk'd!
