I shot Chuck Norris

Thursday, April 23rd, 2009

**I shot Chuck Norris and it bounced off him and into me** To the tune of “I shot the Sheriff”

Alright, so I was sitting around a couple days ago. Posting the Art Happening Fargo piece and the idea hit me. So I started running. I realized I would have to make the piece huge, larger than anything yet. So I set out to prep the studio. I had to paint the 12×18 foot wall, and create a little bit extra wall to make this happen. Lighting was tough as well, you can see a little bit of reflection in the video.

Once I got around to shooting I immediately became irritated with the gun. The thing constantly had issues always missfiring, getting clogged, and releasing air. Ugh.

oh, in planning I realized this thing would have had to be 40 feet tall to only use the gun. As you can tell in the video some of the paint gets wiped away. That was how the clean lines were made. That is one of those moments that got lost on the cutting room floor so to speak. It slowed down the pace of the video to show the wiping.

Hope you all dig.
