<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="color: blue;"><span style="font-size: large;"><span class="text_exposed_show" style="font-size: medium;"><span style="color: blue;"><span style="font-size: large;">Untreated honey is best described as honey “as it exists in the beehive”</span></span></span></span></span></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="color: blue;"><span style="font-size: large;"><span class="text_exposed_show" style="font-size: medium;"><span style="color: blue;"><span style="font-size: large;">It is made by extracting honey from the honeycombs of the hive and
pouring it over a mesh or nylon cloth to separate the honey from
impurities like beeswax and dead bees</span></span></span></span></span></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="color: blue;"><span style="font-size: large;"><span class="text_exposed_show" style="font-size: medium;"><span style="color: blue;"><span style="font-size: large;">Once strained, raw honey is bottled and ready to be enjoyed.</span></span></span></span></span></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="color: blue;"><span style="font-size: large;"><span class="text_exposed_show" style="font-size: medium;"><span style="color: blue;"><span style="font-size: large;">On the other hand, the production of regular honey involves several more
steps before it is bottled — such as pasteurization and filtration .</span></span></span></span></span></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="color: blue;"><span style="font-size: large;"><span class="text_exposed_show" style="font-size: medium;"><span style="color: blue;"><span style="font-size: large;">Pasteurization is a process that destroys the yeast found in honey by
applying high heat. This helps extend the shelf life and makes it
smoother .</span></span></span></span></span></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="color: blue;"><span style="font-size: large;"><span class="text_exposed_show" style="font-size: medium;"><span style="color: blue;"><span style="font-size: large;">Also, filtration further removes impurities like debris and air bubbles
so that the honey stays as a clear liquid for longer. This is
aesthetically appealing to many consumers .</span></span></span></span></span></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="color: blue;"><span style="font-size: large;"><span class="text_exposed_show" style="font-size: medium;"><span style="color: blue;"><span style="font-size: large;">Some commercial honeys are additionally processed by undergoing
ultrafiltration. This process further refines it to make it more
transparent and smooth, but it can also remove beneficial nutrients like
pollen, enzymes and antioxidants .</span></span></span></span></span></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="color: blue;"><span style="font-size: large;"><span class="text_exposed_show" style="font-size: medium;"><span style="color: blue;"><span style="font-size: large;">Moreover, some manufacturers may add sugar or sweeteners to honey to reduce costs.</span></span></span></span></span></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="color: blue;"><span style="font-size: large;"><span class="text_exposed_show" style="font-size: medium;"><span style="color: blue;"><span style="font-size: large;">Summary</span></span></span></span></span></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="color: blue;"><span style="font-size: large;"><span class="text_exposed_show" style="font-size: medium;"><span style="color: blue;"><span style="font-size: large;">Raw honey is best described as honey “as it exists in the beehive.” It
is extracted from the beehive, strained and poured straight into the
bottle, bypassing commercial processing methods.</span></span></span></span></span></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="color: blue;"><span style="font-size: large;"><span class="text_exposed_show" style="font-size: medium;"><span style="color: blue;"><span style="font-size: large;">WE ONLY SELL RAW HONEY</span></span></span></span></span></span><br />

<span style="font-size: large;">
</span><span style="font-size: large;">With the exception of water and sunlight, nothing could be more
natural for your garden than earthworm castings. Not steer manure, not
chicken manure, not even fish emulsion is as natural for your garden as
earthworm castings! After all, when digging in your garden have you ever
found a live cow, chicken, or fish? No, what you do find are live
worms. Mother Nature created the mighty worm about 570 million years ago
to care for her plant life by caring for the soil. As the earthworm
eats its way through the soil, it takes in bits of soil and rotting or
decaying plants (organic matter).</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">
</span><span style="font-size: large;">And what comes out is the richest food your plants will ever find,
yet will not burn a plant! Earthworms have the unique ability to
increase the amount of nutrients and minerals in the soil by as much as
10 times the value of the plant debris there. These minerals and
nutrients are properly conditioned for the best root growth and lush
plant growth – plus it’s odor free!</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">Why Gardeners Use Worm Casting .</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"> </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">One of the biggest challenges gardeners face is trying to identify the
perfect plant food. While it's often been overlooked, because
it's somewhat difficult to find, worm castings are proving to be the
ideal soil supplement .</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">
</span><span style="font-size: large;">Many gardeners have found that it shortens the germination cycle for
new plants, increases yield on their crop overall, and does it all while
protecting the plants from disease. As if that wasn't enough, worm
castings are also chemical-free. This makes it an especially attractive
option for organic growers, specifically. </span><br />
<span style="font-size: x-large;"> It takes Years to build true Worm
Castings,not a month. Our Worm Castings take 5 years. It is critical
what is used in the process. No GMO GRAINS,NO NEWS PAPER,NO CARDBOARD. NO SOURCE THAT
HAS Pesticides,Herbicides,or fungicide. NO MANURE FROM ANY SOURCE THAT
USE ANY COMMERCIAL FEED,NO HORSE STABLE MANURE ,FOR THEY USE MEDICATION IN
WORMING THE HORSES,(WITH ALMOST 99% DO).</span><br />
<span style="font-size: x-large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: x-large;">GOOGLE CARDBOARD DANGERS </span><br />
<span style="font-size: x-large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: x-large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: x-large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: x-large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: x-large;">We do not Vermicompost with cardboard( Cereal makers drop recycled cardboard boxes <a href="http://www.dailymail.co.uk/health/article-1364068/Recycled-cereal-boxes-contain-dangerous-levels-cancer-causing-mineral-oils.ht" rel="nofollow">http://www.dailymail.co.uk/health/article-1364068/Recycled-cereal-boxes-contain-dangerous-levels-cancer-causing-mineral-oils.ht</a>),</span><br />
<span style="font-size: x-large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: x-large;">We do not compost Manures from large Horse Stables,Major Dairy or
manures exposed to medication such as vermisides(wormer medications),The
amount of growth hormones in Beef cattle(Growth Hormones Fed to Beef
Cattle Damage Human Health <a href="http://www.organicconsumers.org/articles/article_5543.cfm" rel="nofollow">http://www.organicconsumers.org/articles/article_5543.cfm</a>)
and GM Hormones in Dairy Milk Cows,Milk from rBGH-treated cows has much
higher levels of IGF-1, a hormone considered to be a high risk factor
for breast, prostate, colon, lung, and other cancers. IGF-1 levels in
milk from treated cows with rBGH can be up to 10 times higher. Studies
suggest that pre-menopausal women below 50 years old with high levels of
IGF-1 are seven times more likely to develop breast cancer. Men are
four times more likely to develop prostate cancer. IGF-1 is implicated
in lung and colon cancer. pesticides herbicides (<a href="http://www.responsibletechnology.org/gmo-dangers/gm-hormones-in-dairy" rel="nofollow">http://www.responsibletechnology.org/gmo-dangers/gm-hormones-in-dairy</a>).
This is the major reason we will not use any commercial manure. Any
major scale or availability of manures may or will come this kind of
source. </span><br />
<span style="font-size: x-large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: x-large;">Most importantly, there is little to no nutrition left in processed
paper, and it won't add much--if any--fertilizing or disease-preventing
power to the finished product. That's why we use so much of the leaves.
Shredded leaves make the finest disease-preventing, soil-enhancing,
plant-feeding compost. If you have a compost pile where the predominant
"brown materials" are paper instead of leaves, you are creating the
equivalent of a heavily-processed artificial fast food for your plants.
Compost made with shredded leaves is minimally processed, high quality
slow food--and it's local too! . It has been hard for our farm to trust
the paper mills.(<a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Environmental_impact_of_paper" rel="nofollow">http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Environmental_impact_of_paper</a>)</span><br />

<span style="color: blue;"><span class="text_exposed_show" style="font-size: x-large;">Some
naturalists feel that honey made from the nectar of local wildflowers
can relieve you of seasonal allergies. The <a href="https://search.nccih.nih.gov/search?utf8=%E2%9C%93&affiliate=nccih&query=raw+honey&commit=Search">National Center for Complementary and Alternative Medicine r</a>eports
that local honey is often
eaten by allergy sufferers -- with the belief that it boosts the immune
system and acts much like an immunization by building up your body’s
antibodies to allergens and pollen. Wild Flower Honey is not one plant
specific.
Our Wild Flower Raw Honey is a bold honey. It is more
popular choice than light color honeys. In general, dark honeys have
higher mineral contents (e.g. potassium, manganese, iron, sodium, etc.)
than lighter ones (Czech Journal Food Science, 2015; . Also, the darker
the honey color, the higher the phenolic and flavonoid contents and the
antioxidant levels, which are critical in counteracting free radicals
responsible for triggering the aging process and diseases such as
cancer, hypertension and high blood cholesterol and diabetes (General
Medicine, 2014; Food Chem. 2007).Well-known for their strong medicinal
properties, these honeys are highly prized and sought after as natural
alternative remedies for synthetic drugs in treating a myriad of health
conditions and ailments such as cough, flu, infections, skin problems,
and poor immunity.

with any non-native species, it is important not to allow them to reach the wild. Their voracious appetites and reproductive rates (especially among the red wigglers) have been known to upset the delicate balance of the hardwood forests by consuming the leaf litter too quickly. This event leaves too little leaf letter to slowly incubate the hard shelled nuts and leads to excessive erosion as well as negatively affecting the pH of the soil. So, do your best to keep them confined! </div>

<span style="font-size: x-large;">
</span><span style="font-size: x-large;">With the exception of water and sunlight, nothing could be more
natural for your garden than earthworm castings. Not steer manure, not
chicken manure, not even fish emulsion is as natural for your garden as
earthworm castings! After all, when digging in your garden have you ever
found a live cow, chicken, or fish? No, what you do find are live
worms. Mother Nature created the mighty worm about 570 million years ago
to care for her plant life by caring for the soil. As the earthworm
eats its way through the soil, it takes in bits of soil and rotting or
decaying plants (organic matter).</span><br />
<span style="font-size: x-large;">
</span><span style="font-size: x-large;">And what comes out is the richest food your plants will ever find,
yet will not burn a plant! Earthworms have the unique ability to
increase the amount of nutrients and minerals in the soil by as much as
10 times the value of the plant debris there. These minerals and
nutrients are properly conditioned for the best root growth and lush
plant growth – plus it’s odor free!</span><br />
<span style="font-size: x-large;">Why Plant Growers Use Worm Casting .</span><br />
<span style="font-size: x-large;"> </span><br />
<span style="font-size: x-large;">One of the biggest challenges We face is trying to identify the
perfect plant food. While it's often been overlooked, because
it's somewhat difficult to find, worm castings are proving to be the
ideal soil supplement .</span><br />
<span style="font-size: x-large;">
</span><span style="font-size: x-large;">Many Gardeners have found that it shortens the germination cycle for
new plants, increases yield on their crop overall, and does it all while
protecting the plants from disease. As if that wasn't enough, <a href="https://www.google.com/maps/place/Hongkongwillie/@28.068527,-82.3583382,17z/data=!3m1!4b1!4m5!3m4!1s0x88c2c839fd99abed:0xc70967e06ec2b0b1!8m2!3d28.068527!4d-82.3561495">worm castings</a> are also chemical-free. This makes it an especially attractive
option for organic growers, specifically. </span><br />

Despite opposition from scientists, farmers and
consumers, the US currently allows dairy cows to be injected
with recombinant bovine growth hormone (rBGH), also known as
recombinant bovine somatotropin (rBST). Developed and
manufactured by the Monsanto Corporation, this genetically
engineered hormone forces cows to artificially increase milk
production by 10 to 15 percent.<br />

with any non-native species, it is important not to allow them to reach the wild. Their voracious appetites and reproductive rates (especially among the red wigglers) have been known to upset the delicate balance of the hardwood forests by consuming the leaf litter too quickly.

Despite opposition from scientists, farmers and
consumers, the US currently allows dairy cows to be injected
with recombinant bovine growth hormone (rBGH), also known as
recombinant bovine somatotropin (rBST). Developed and
manufactured by the Monsanto Corporation, this genetically
engineered hormone forces cows to artificially increase milk
production by 10 to 15 percent.<br />

back, talent is to tell a story, to make change. Reuse is a life
experience. </span><br />

<span style="font-size: medium;">Sometimes, it’s the smallest experiences that have the biggest impact on a person’s life.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: medium;">While attending an art class in 1958 at the age of 8, <a href="http://www.google.ge/#hl=ka&source=hp&q=Tampa+Famous+Reuse+Green+Artist&btnG=Google+%E1%83%AB%E1%83%94%E1%83%91%E1%83%9C%E1%83%90&fp=57549fe35399cf7a&biw=1346&bih=518">Tampa folk artist Joe Brown </a>recalled being mesmerized by the lesson. It involved
transforming a Gerber baby bottle into a piece of art.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: medium;">“The Gerber bottle had no intrinsic value at all,” he said. “But when
(the instructor) got through with me that day, she made me see how
something so (valueless) can be valuable.”</span><br />
<span style="font-size: medium;">By the time class was over, Brown learned many other lessons, too,
such as the importance of volunteerism, recycling, reuse and giving back
to the community. He recalled being impressed by the teacher's
volunteer work in Hiroshima, Japan, helping atomic bomb survivors.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: medium;">"One of the last words she ever spoke to me about that was, ‘When I
left, I left out of Hong Kong,’ ” he said. After turning that over in
his young brain for awhile, he decided to use it in a nickname, adding
the name “Willie” a year later.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: medium;">You've probably seen <a href="http://www.google.ch/#hl=de&sugexp=gsis%2Ci18n%3Dtrue&cp=33&gs_id=3t&xhr=t&q=Florida+Famous+Green+Reuse+Artist&pf=p&sclient=psy&source=hp&pbx=1&oq=Florida+Famous+Green+Reuse+Artist&aq=f&aqi=&aql=&gs_sm=&gs_upl=&bav=on.2,or.r_gc.r_pw.&fp=ea1054162b9f519d&biw=1346&bih=518">Hong Kong Willie's</a> eye-catching
home/gallery/studio at <a href="http://www.hongkongwillie.org/?p=19737">Fletcher Avenue and Interstate 75</a>. But what is
the story of the man behind all those buoys and discarded objects turned
into art?</span><br />
<span style="font-size: medium;">Brown practiced his creative skills through his younger years. But as
an adult, he managed to amass a small fortune working in the materials
management industry. By the the '80s, he left the business world and
decided to concentrate on his art. He spent some years in the Florida
Keys honing his craft and building his reputation as a folk artist. He
also bought some land in Tampa near Morris Bridge Road and Fletcher
Avenue where he and his family still call home.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: medium;">Brown purchased the land just after the entrances and exits to I-75
were built. He said he was once offered more than $1 million for the
land by a restaurant. He turned it down, he said, preferring instead to
make part of the property into a studio and gallery for the creations he
and his family put together.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: medium;">And all of it is made of what most people would consider “trash.”
Pieces of driftwood, burlap bags, doll heads, rope — anything that comes
Brown’s way becomes part of his vocabulary of expression, and, in turn,
becomes something else, which makes a tour of his property somewhat of a
visual adventure. What at first seems like a random menagerie of glass,
driftwood and pottery suddenly comes together in one's brain to form
something completely different. One moment nothing, the next a powerful
statement about 9/11.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: medium;"><b>One Man's Trash ...</b></span><br />
<span style="font-size: medium;">Trash? There is no such thing, Brown seems to say through his art.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: medium;">He keeps a blog about his art at <a href="http://hongkongwillie.blogspot.com/">hongkongwillie.blogspot.com</a>. </span><br />
<span style="font-size: medium;">In his shop, he has fashioned many smaller items out of driftwood,
burlap bags and other materials into signs, purses, totes, bird feeder
hangars and yard sculptures.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: medium;">He sells a lot to the regular influx of University of South Florida
parents and students every year who are are at first intrigued by the
“buoy tree” and the odd-looking building they see as they take Exit 266
off I-75.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: medium;"><b>Brown Sells More Than Art</b></span><br />
<span style="font-size: medium;">Of course, the real locals know Brown’s place for the quality of his worms.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: medium;">If there’s one thing that Brown knows does well in the ground, it’s
the Florida redworm, something he enthusiastically promotes, selling the
indigenous species to customers for use in their compost piles. Some of
his customers say his worms are just as good at the end of a fishing
hook, though.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: medium;">“To be honest, what made me come here is that they had scriptures on
the top of his bait cans,” said customer John Brin. “Plus, they have
good service. They’re nice and they’re kind, and they treat you like
family.”</span><br />
<span style="font-size: medium;">Though Brin knows Brown sells them mostly for composting, he said
they are great for catching blue gill, sand perch and other local
favorites. He also added that he likes getting his worms from Brown
“because his bait stays alive longer than any other baits I’ve used.”</span><br />
<span style="font-size: medium;">For prices and amounts, he has another <a href="http://redwigglerforsaletampa.blogspot.com/2010/06/red-worms-tampa-florida-for-sale.html">blog dedicated just to worms</a>.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: medium;">Of course, many people also stop by to buy the smaller pieces of art
that he and his family create: purses made of burlap, welcome signs made
of driftwood, planters and other items lining the walls of his store.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: medium;">He’s also helped put his mark on the decor of local establishments too, such as <a href="http://www.gasparspatio.com/">Gaspar’s Patio</a>, 8448 N. 56th st.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: medium;">Owner Jimmy Ciaccio said that when it came time to redecorate the
restaurant several years ago, there was only one person to call for the
assignment, and that was his good friend Brown.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: medium;">"I’ve known Joe all my life, and we always had a good chemistry
together,” Ciaccio said. "He’s very creative and fun to be around, and
that’s how it all came about.”</span><br />
<span style="font-size: medium;">Ciaccio says he still gets compliments all the time for the
restaurant’s atmosphere he created using the “trash” supplied by Brown.
He describes the style as a day at the beach, like a visit to Old Key
West. “They’re so inspired, they want to decorate their own homes this
way,” he said.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: medium;">It’s that kind of testimony that makes Brown feel good, knowing that
others, too, are inspired to create instead of throw away when they see
his work. He simply lets his work speak for itself.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: medium;">“Somebody once told me to keep telling the story and they will keep coming," he said, "and they always do."</span><br />

TAMPA, Fla. – Have you ever seen the building on the corner of Fletcher and I-75 with a bunch of buoys strung everywhere? This small business that many think is an old bait n’ tackle shop is actually Hong Kong Willie.<br />
Derek Brown, 26, and his family own and operate Hong Kong Willie. The little shop specializes in preservation art. The artists don’t take preservation too lightly either.<br />
“99 percent of everything that has gone into a piece of art has been recycled and reused,” Brown said.<br />
Just as unique as the art is, so is the company’s name. Brown says the name was created by his father, Joe Brown, in the 1950s.<br />
“My father being in an art class, being affected by a teacher, they were melting Gerber baby food bottles,” Brown said. “The teacher interjected that Hong Kong had a great reuse and recycling program even then.”<br />
Brown’s father then took that concept and later added the Americanized name Willie to the end. And that’s how Hong Kong Willie was born as a location that offers recycling in a different and creative way.<br />
Hong Kong Willie artists are what are known as freegans. Freegans are less concerned with materialistic things and more concerned about reducing consumption to lessen the footprint humans leave on this planet.<br />
“I’m sure everyone has their own perception of a freegan, possibly jumping into a dumpster or picking up something on the side of the road,” Brown said. “There [are] people who will have excess. There [are] also things that can be trash to one man, but art or a prize to another man.”<br />
Brown and his family carry this practice through to their art. It’s his family’s way of life, turning trash, which would otherwise fill up landfills, into an art form.<br />
The Brown family gets a lot of their inspiration for their art from the Florida Keys. In fact, this is where the deluge of buoys wrapping around the ‘Buoys Tree’ came from, the fishermen of Key West.<br />
“It is Styrofoam, we understand that it does not degrade, but to blame the fishermen for their livelihood wouldn’t be correct, instead we find a usage for those,” Brown said.<br />
Brown said there’s a usage for everything, even the hooks to hold the painted driftwood, which are also salvaged, to the wall are old bent forks. Everything’s reused here. Purses made out of old coffee bean sacks to “kitschy,” as Brown described it, jewelry made from old baseballs.<br />
“Hong Kong Willie truly believes that a piece, whether it’s a bag or a painted artwork, it’s meant for one person.”<br />

decent amount of local spots in the surrounding Tampa Bay area. These
ranged from restaurants, cafes, parks, bars, and other places of
interest. Recently I got to check out this particular spot that has
always been on mind. If you're frequently in the Temple Terrace area
then there's a pretty big chance you probably been down East Fletcher
Avenue before. If that's the case, then you definitely have seen this
spot I'm talking about. Go east onto Fletcher Avenue and as soon as
you're about to hit Highway I-75, look to your right and you'll see an
establishment with some very interesting art installments around its
vicinity. Just by looking at the photo above, you can see why its hard
to miss. Once again, I had my good friend, Nick, tag along with me to
check out what this place was all about.</span></p><p><span style="color: #2b00fe; font-size: large;"> </span></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh4bFv3UWmotUiG11dK6EgPEzYsQSNYfSyYnF_FLauuWdU2_tWlbAGwqeAGyfktmZ-ldKZdS_vqSu0wLxeBuJzUy6vybfg2yXZ3uWw3HfC7tAlEZqHLtGar-lqVsuYK3A0XIxH0UqGGN1-KXuQFO5DOOaS7X1SsdsuoMtbhlytEuMS32z_3U-itP0OdWZwM/s1024/Hongkongwillie,Hong%20Kong%20Willie,Tampa,,%20I%2075%20exit%20266%20Tampa%2033637.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="683" data-original-width="1024" height="213" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh4bFv3UWmotUiG11dK6EgPEzYsQSNYfSyYnF_FLauuWdU2_tWlbAGwqeAGyfktmZ-ldKZdS_vqSu0wLxeBuJzUy6vybfg2yXZ3uWw3HfC7tAlEZqHLtGar-lqVsuYK3A0XIxH0UqGGN1-KXuQFO5DOOaS7X1SsdsuoMtbhlytEuMS32z_3U-itP0OdWZwM/s320/Hongkongwillie,Hong%20Kong%20Willie,Tampa,,%20I%2075%20exit%20266%20Tampa%2033637.jpg" width="320" /></a></div><br /><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span><p></p><p><span style="font-size: large;"> </span></p><h3><span style="font-size: medium;"><b>Hong Kong Willie</b></span></h3><p><span style="color: #2b00fe; font-size: medium;">When we pulled up onto the
property, there were no other cars there besides mine. It made me wonder
if there was even anyone around .
The first thing you'll immediately notice is that the majority of the
property was covered in ocean like paraphernalia such as vibrantly
colored buoys to coconuts. It makes you feel like you're walking around a

it had "open" signs posted around it. The signs led us to a door on the
right side that had a wooden sign with the words, "WE ARE OPEN CALL
813-770-4794". I called the number and before anyone could answer, a man
comes out of nowhere right behind us and asks, "You want to view the
gallery?". He then unlocked the door for us and behind it was a room
completely filled with artwork made by him. These ranged from paintings,
wood carvings, more buoys, and so much more. It was pretty
overwhelming. As we kept looking around, the man introduced himself as
Joe Brown, aka "Hong Kong Willie"</span></p><p><span style="font-size: medium;"> </span></p><div class="sqs-block html-block sqs-block-html" data-block-type="2" id="block-yui_3_17_2_11_1469141873293_184140"><div class="sqs-block-content">

<h3><span style="font-size: medium;"><b>From Hong Kong to Willie</b></span></h3><p><span style="color: #2b00fe; font-size: medium;">Born and raised
in Tampa, Joe's passion for art started when he attended an art class at
the age of 8. Through it he learned the importance of volunteerism,
reusing, recycling, and giving back to the community. With deep
admiration for his teacher's past work in Hiroshima, the "Hong Kong"
part of his name came from the fact that his teacher was from
there. Later on "Willie" was added to form the catchphrase "Hong Kong
Willie". As time progressed, the young artist unfortunately decided to
leave his interests in art behind with the thought that it wasn't going
to be able to support him in the future. . Now this the part
of the story where things for Joe start to get REALLY interesting. Right
after graduating college, Joe became involved with a project that
helped bring UPC codes to the <span class="JCzEY ZwRhJd"><span class="CSkcDe">grocery stores.</span></span> (UPC codes are those bar codes you
see on products). Sounds crazy right? Who would of known that some
random artist in Tampa played a big role in something like
that? However, he wasn't content with what he was doing with his life;
this led him to move back to Tampa where he spent 5 years living in a
beat down trailer in a forest across the street from where we were
standing. He recalled the trailer days when he would always piss off the
locals by blasting loud music at night and dealing with 20 something
cops showing up; surprisingly, he never got kicked out. Soon it was
finally time for the man to make his comeback as an artist.</span></p><p><span style="font-size: medium;"> </span></p><p><span style="font-size: medium;"><span style="color: #2b00fe;"> So how successful has the artist been since? Well, the highest value
he's ever sold one of his pieces for was $200,000... Holy crap... If
you're able to sell one of your pieces for that much then you're
definitely doing something right. Many of his clients have ranged from
businesses wanting to place something in their stores to individuals who
just want unique artwork in their home. <span> But putting aside the art talk, the artist gave us personal wisdom about his outlook on life.</span></span></span></p><p><span style="font-size: medium;"> </span></p><h1 class="storyheadline"><span style="color: lime; font-size: medium;"> </span><span style="background-color: yellow; font-size: medium;"><span style="color: blue;"><span>Hongkongwillie Art </span></span></span><span style="font-size: medium;"><br /></span>

<h3><span style="font-size: medium;"><b>Willie Wisdom</b></span></h3><p><span style="color: #2b00fe; font-size: medium;">Joe
believes that one of the biggest issues we currently face is people
being too absorbed by the lifestyle of riches, straying them from being
themselves. It's no surprise that when you live in a society that
glamorizes wealth that you become tempted to throw aside your genuine
interests to find ways to get rich instead. I've personally had friends
who've stopped pursuing their passions because it seemed to them a waste
of time since it didn't hold any potential to make them money. A
majority of these passions were related to art, music, and dance. It's
sad to think about but </span><span style="color: #2b00fe; font-size: medium;">as a
photographer myself I understand where they're coming from. Luckily
there are still people out there like Joe who still follow their
passions with zero care about wealth. I've always believed that if you
truly loved doing something then you'll find a way to pursue it
regardless where life takes you. If you find that too hard to do, then
you never loved it in the first place. Joe also weighed in on the issues
of race that have been recently prevalent in media by describing his
personal experiences with it. He acknowledges that as an individual who
physically appears to be white, that it gives him a bigger social
advantage as compared to "minority" races. As a man of Spanish, White,
and Jewish descent, he's had a mild taste of these social tensions when
he once lived in a community of English people. </span></p>

</div></div><p><span style="font-size: medium;"> </span></p><p><span style="font-size: medium;"> </span></p><p><span style="color: #2b00fe; font-size: medium;">What started off as a normal visit
to Hong Kong Willie, became one of the most enlightening experiences
that I've ever had. Just the amount of resilience that this man had
maintained throughout his life was impressive. His early struggles
really embody the cliché phrase, "When there's a will, there's a way".
He owes a lot of his success to the support of the community, God, and
other artists. Those humbling words left such a big impact on me. </span></p><span style="font-size: medium;"><span style="color: #2b00fe;">If
you're ever in the area then I highly recommend that you visit Hong
Kong Willie. This definitely beats a visit to a regular art museum for
sure. Below I've provided more info on how you can learn more about
him. You just never know what story a place might hold for you till you
go check it out.</span><iframe allow="encrypted-media" allowfullscreen="" height="332" src="https://player.pbs.org/viralplayer/2365012097/" style="border: 0;" width="512"></iframe>

</div></div><p><span style="font-size: medium;"> </span></p><p><span style="font-size: medium;"> </span></p><p><span style="color: #2b00fe; font-size: medium;">What started off as a normal visit
to Hong Kong Willie, became one of the most enlightening experiences
that I've ever had. Just the amount of resilience that this man had
maintained throughout his life was impressive. His early struggles
really embody the cliché phrase, "When there's a will, there's a way".
He owes a lot of his success to the support of the community, God, and
other artists. Those humbling words left such a big impact on me. </span></p><span style="font-size: medium;"><span style="color: #2b00fe;">If
you're ever in the area then I highly recommend that you visit Hong
Kong Willie. This definitely beats a visit to a regular art museum for
sure. Below I've provided more info on how you can learn more about
him. You just never know what story a place might hold for you till you

decent amount of local spots in the surrounding Tampa Bay area. These
ranged from restaurants, cafes, parks, bars, and other places of
interest. Recently I got to check out this particular spot that has
always been on mind. If you're frequently in the Temple Terrace area
then there's a pretty big chance you probably been down East Fletcher
Avenue before. If that's the case, then you definitely have seen this
spot I'm talking about. Go east onto Fletcher Avenue and as soon as
you're about to hit Highway I-75, look to your right and you'll see an
establishment with some very interesting art installments around its
vicinity. Just by looking at the photo above, you can see why its hard
to miss. Once again, I had my good friend, Nick, tag along with me to
check out what this place was all about.</span></p><p><span style="color: #2b00fe; font-size: large;"> </span></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhEZAQulB8S5ufEimgucsCY7wlnH4-IlrnFM195TxdY3ufiKo3hv8OuK9kjgVIJR3bPB9a3cNrKvd_QG_5_wD_CYaihg-eQcS8q713C8Eb4fVKMpGECsIlqeZZgvUTony6QowWEQCaPJRA_CZto14TlRwfpyXphTIpNbKnSIumuXSkJmNzi-wswxRoPTa1O/s1024/Hongkongwillie,Hong%20Kong%20Willie,Tampa,,%20I%2075%20exit%20266%20Tampa%2033637.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="683" data-original-width="1024" height="213" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhEZAQulB8S5ufEimgucsCY7wlnH4-IlrnFM195TxdY3ufiKo3hv8OuK9kjgVIJR3bPB9a3cNrKvd_QG_5_wD_CYaihg-eQcS8q713C8Eb4fVKMpGECsIlqeZZgvUTony6QowWEQCaPJRA_CZto14TlRwfpyXphTIpNbKnSIumuXSkJmNzi-wswxRoPTa1O/s320/Hongkongwillie,Hong%20Kong%20Willie,Tampa,,%20I%2075%20exit%20266%20Tampa%2033637.jpg" width="320" /></a></div><br /><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span><p></p><p><span style="font-size: large;"> </span></p><h3><span style="font-size: medium;"><b>Hong Kong Willie</b></span></h3><p><span style="color: #2b00fe; font-size: medium;">When we pulled up onto the
property, there were no other cars there besides mine. It made me wonder
if there was even anyone around .
The first thing you'll immediately notice is that the majority of the
property was covered in ocean like paraphernalia such as vibrantly
colored buoys to coconuts. It makes you feel like you're walking around a
dock for boats. </span></p><p><span style="color: #2b00fe; font-size: medium;"><br /></span></p><p><span style="color: #2b00fe; font-size: medium;">We proceeded to walk towards what appeared to be the main building since
it had "open" signs posted around it. The signs led us to a door on the
right side that had a wooden sign with the words, "WE ARE OPEN CALL
813-770-4794". I called the number and before anyone could answer, a man
comes out of nowhere right behind us and asks, "You want to view the
gallery?". He then unlocked the door for us and behind it was a room
completely filled with artwork made by him. These ranged from paintings,
wood carvings, more buoys, and so much more. It was pretty
overwhelming. As we kept looking around, the man introduced himself as
Joe Brown, aka "Hong Kong Willie"</span></p><p><span style="font-size: medium;"> </span></p>
<div class="sqs-html-content">
<h3><span style="font-size: medium;"><b>From Hong Kong to Willie</b></span></h3><p><span style="color: #2b00fe; font-size: medium;">Born and raised
in Tampa, Joe's passion for art started when he attended an art class at
the age of 8. Through it he learned the importance of volunteerism,
reusing, recycling, and giving back to the community. With deep
admiration for his teacher's past work in Hiroshima, the "Hong Kong"
part of his name came from the fact that his teacher was from
there. Later on "Willie" was added to form the catchphrase "Hong Kong
Willie". As time progressed, the young artist unfortunately decided to
leave his interests in art behind with the thought that it wasn't going
to be able to support him in the future. . Now this the part
of the story where things for Joe start to get REALLY interesting. Right
after graduating college, Joe became involved with a project that
helped bring UPC codes to the <span class="JCzEY ZwRhJd"><span class="CSkcDe">grocery stores.</span></span> (UPC codes are those bar codes you
see on products). Sounds crazy right? Who would of known that some
random artist in Tampa played a big role in something like
that? However, he wasn't content with what he was doing with his life;
this led him to move back to Tampa where he spent 5 years living in a
beat down trailer in a forest across the street from where we were
standing. He recalled the trailer days when he would always piss off the
locals by blasting loud music at night and dealing with 20 something
cops showing up; surprisingly, he never got kicked out. Soon it was
finally time for the man to make his comeback as an artist.</span></p><p><span style="font-size: medium;"> </span></p><p><span style="font-size: medium;"><span style="color: #2b00fe;"> So how successful has the artist been since? Well, the highest value
he's ever sold one of his pieces for was $200,000... Holy crap... If
you're able to sell one of your pieces for that much then you're
definitely doing something right. Many of his clients have ranged from
businesses wanting to place something in their stores to individuals who
just want unique artwork in their home. <span> But putting aside the art talk, the artist gave us personal wisdom about his outlook on life.</span></span></span></p><p><span style="font-size: medium;"> </span></p><h1 class="storyheadline"><span style="color: lime; font-size: medium;"> </span><span style="background-color: yellow; font-size: medium;"><span style="color: blue;"><span>Hongkongwillie Art </span></span></span><span style="font-size: medium;"><br /></span>

<h3><span style="font-size: medium;"><b>Willie Wisdom</b></span></h3><p><span style="color: #2b00fe; font-size: medium;">Joe
believes that one of the biggest issues we currently face is people
being too absorbed by the lifestyle of riches, straying them from being
themselves. It's no surprise that when you live in a society that
glamorizes wealth that you become tempted to throw aside your genuine
interests to find ways to get rich instead. I've personally had friends
who've stopped pursuing their passions because it seemed to them a waste
of time since it didn't hold any potential to make them money. A
majority of these passions were related to art, music, and dance. It's
sad to think about but </span><span style="color: #2b00fe; font-size: medium;">as a
photographer myself I understand where they're coming from. Luckily
there are still people out there like Joe who still follow their
passions with zero care about wealth. I've always believed that if you
truly loved doing something then you'll find a way to pursue it
regardless where life takes you. If you find that too hard to do, then
you never loved it in the first place. Joe also weighed in on the issues
of race that have been recently prevalent in media by describing his
personal experiences with it. He acknowledges that as an individual who
physically appears to be white, that it gives him a bigger social
advantage as compared to "minority" races. As a man of Spanish, White,
and Jewish descent, he's had a mild taste of these social tensions when
he once lived in a community of English people. </span></p>

Hong Kong Willie. The name of the artist. In 1958 his mother took Hong Kong Willie to an art class. The name started then. An art teacher when doing crafts out of Gerber baby bottles, made a statement, in Hong Kong reuse was common. At that time he thought this was very interesting. His father had low-land, at that time landfills were common also. The county had told Hong Kong Willie’s father, it was safe, but as we now know this was not so. Something can come from bad to be good. Hong Kong Willie the name came from that art teacher impressing on that young mind that objects made for one use could be for many other uses. Hong Kong for the neat concept. Willie for an American name. So for many years Hong Kong Willie had a life of reuse. Hong Kong Willie saw forms in a different light, His life now was meaningful, knowing this was and would be his life. Art made from found objects, making less of a footprint on this world. Art and art teachers, HOW IMPORTANT. For the ones that have, and the ones who have not. Media can be found. Now 50 years later, we know now being green is important. We need to look at this very carefully. Our children and our world need a different understanding. Objects can be used in many different ways. Hong Kong Willie the tons of objects in his life that have been used, without much change, So for that art teacher what she did for my life. Thank You. I still have the Gerber baby bottle till this day. Hong Kong Willie.<br />

Reuse artist.<br /><p> <span style="font-size: large;">Who Is Hongkongwillie</span></p><p><br /></p><p><span style="font-size: large;"> </span></p><p><span style="color: #2b00fe; font-size: large;">During my 4 years of attending USF I've gotten to venture around a
decent amount of local spots in the surrounding Tampa Bay area. These
ranged from restaurants, cafes, parks, bars, and other places of
interest. Recently I got to check out this particular spot that has
always been on mind. If you're frequently in the Temple Terrace area
then there's a pretty big chance you probably been down East Fletcher
Avenue before. If that's the case, then you definitely have seen this
spot I'm talking about. Go east onto Fletcher Avenue and as soon as
you're about to hit Highway I-75, look to your right and you'll see an
establishment with some very interesting art installments around its
vicinity. Just by looking at the photo above, you can see why its hard
to miss. Once again, I had my good friend, Nick, tag along with me to
check out what this place was all about.</span></p><p><span style="color: #2b00fe; font-size: large;"> </span></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgw5WMD7q9qLt_0VobGLhUzhpbgWLiAxrvrzzj3-YlIYiZYoxbCPK7p5uCprTn0MttRU7Q0tmO9b4o8IR0qmzKOUYNHP2kvY4jup95PG8Fanf6PGcpDPbziz_p3XpCR9kmOZuNoMywV8xj6sMEgYy4RRz-RHHAti41YMB3GMlkB98FJlQbhG4NgrocLsozP/s1024/Hongkongwillie,Hong%20Kong%20Willie,Tampa,,%20I%2075%20exit%20266%20Tampa%2033637.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="683" data-original-width="1024" height="213" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgw5WMD7q9qLt_0VobGLhUzhpbgWLiAxrvrzzj3-YlIYiZYoxbCPK7p5uCprTn0MttRU7Q0tmO9b4o8IR0qmzKOUYNHP2kvY4jup95PG8Fanf6PGcpDPbziz_p3XpCR9kmOZuNoMywV8xj6sMEgYy4RRz-RHHAti41YMB3GMlkB98FJlQbhG4NgrocLsozP/s320/Hongkongwillie,Hong%20Kong%20Willie,Tampa,,%20I%2075%20exit%20266%20Tampa%2033637.jpg" width="320" /></a></div><br /><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span><p></p><p><span style="font-size: large;"> </span></p><h3><span style="font-size: medium;"><b>Hong Kong Willie</b></span></h3><p><span style="color: #2b00fe; font-size: medium;">When we pulled up onto the
property, there were no other cars there besides mine. It made me wonder
if there was even anyone around .
The first thing you'll immediately notice is that the majority of the
property was covered in ocean like paraphernalia such as vibrantly
colored buoys to coconuts. It makes you feel like you're walking around a
dock for boats. </span></p><p><span style="color: #2b00fe; font-size: medium;"><br /></span></p><p><span style="color: #2b00fe; font-size: medium;">We proceeded to walk towards what appeared to be the main building since
it had "open" signs posted around it. The signs led us to a door on the
right side that had a wooden sign with the words, "WE ARE OPEN CALL
813-770-4794". I called the number and before anyone could answer, a man
comes out of nowhere right behind us and asks, "You want to view the
gallery?". He then unlocked the door for us and behind it was a room
completely filled with artwork made by him. These ranged from paintings,
wood carvings, more buoys, and so much more. It was pretty
overwhelming. As we kept looking around, the man introduced himself as
Joe Brown, aka "Hong Kong Willie"</span></p><p><span style="font-size: medium;"> </span></p>
<div class="sqs-html-content">
<h3><span style="font-size: medium;"><b>From Hong Kong to Willie</b></span></h3><p><span style="color: #2b00fe; font-size: medium;">Born and raised
in Tampa, Joe's passion for art started when he attended an art class at
the age of 8. Through it he learned the importance of volunteerism,
reusing, recycling, and giving back to the community. With deep
admiration for his teacher's past work in Hiroshima, the "Hong Kong"
part of his name came from the fact that his teacher was from
there. Later on "Willie" was added to form the catchphrase "Hong Kong
Willie". As time progressed, the young artist unfortunately decided to
leave his interests in art behind with the thought that it wasn't going
to be able to support him in the future. . Now this the part
of the story where things for Joe start to get REALLY interesting. Right
after graduating college, Joe became involved with a project that
helped bring UPC codes to the <span class="JCzEY ZwRhJd"><span class="CSkcDe">grocery stores.</span></span> (UPC codes are those bar codes you
see on products). Sounds crazy right? Who would of known that some
random artist in Tampa played a big role in something like
that? However, he wasn't content with what he was doing with his life;
this led him to move back to Tampa where he spent 5 years living in a
beat down trailer in a forest across the street from where we were
standing. He recalled the trailer days when he would always piss off the
locals by blasting loud music at night and dealing with 20 something
cops showing up; surprisingly, he never got kicked out. Soon it was
finally time for the man to make his comeback as an artist.</span></p><p><span style="font-size: medium;"> </span></p><p><span style="font-size: medium;"><span style="color: #2b00fe;"> So how successful has the artist been since? Well, the highest value
he's ever sold one of his pieces for was $200,000... Holy crap... If
you're able to sell one of your pieces for that much then you're
definitely doing something right. Many of his clients have ranged from
businesses wanting to place something in their stores to individuals who
just want unique artwork in their home. <span> But putting aside the art talk, the artist gave us personal wisdom about his outlook on life.</span></span></span></p><p><span style="font-size: medium;"> </span></p><h1 class="storyheadline"><span style="color: lime; font-size: medium;"> </span><span style="background-color: yellow; font-size: medium;"><span style="color: blue;"><span>Hongkongwillie Art </span></span></span><span style="font-size: medium;"><br /></span>

<h3><span style="font-size: medium;"><b>Willie Wisdom</b></span></h3><p><span style="color: #2b00fe; font-size: medium;">Joe
believes that one of the biggest issues we currently face is people
being too absorbed by the lifestyle of riches, straying them from being
themselves. It's no surprise that when you live in a society that
glamorizes wealth that you become tempted to throw aside your genuine
interests to find ways to get rich instead. I've personally had friends
who've stopped pursuing their passions because it seemed to them a waste
of time since it didn't hold any potential to make them money. A
majority of these passions were related to art, music, and dance. It's
sad to think about but </span><span style="color: #2b00fe; font-size: medium;">as a
photographer myself I understand where they're coming from. Luckily
there are still people out there like Joe who still follow their
passions with zero care about wealth. I've always believed that if you
truly loved doing something then you'll find a way to pursue it
regardless where life takes you. If you find that too hard to do, then
you never loved it in the first place. Joe also weighed in on the issues
of race that have been recently prevalent in media by describing his
personal experiences with it. He acknowledges that as an individual who
physically appears to be white, that it gives him a bigger social
advantage as compared to "minority" races. As a man of Spanish, White,
and Jewish descent, he's had a mild taste of these social tensions when
he once lived in a community of English people. </span></p>
</div>
</div></div><p><span style="font-size: medium;"> </span></p><p><span style="font-size: medium;"> </span></p><p><span style="color: #2b00fe; font-size: medium;">What started off as a normal visit
to Hong Kong Willie, became one of the most enlightening experiences
that I've ever had. Just the amount of resilience that this man had
maintained throughout his life was impressive. His early struggles
really embody the cliché phrase, "When there's a will, there's a way".
He owes a lot of his success to the support of the community, God, and
other artists. Those humbling words left such a big impact on me. </span></p><span style="font-size: medium;"><span style="color: #2b00fe;">If
you're ever in the area then I highly recommend that you visit Hong
Kong Willie. This definitely beats a visit to a regular art museum for
sure. Below I've provided more info on how you can learn more about
him. You just never know what story a place might hold for you till you
go check it out.</span><iframe allow="encrypted-media" allowfullscreen="" height="332" src="https://player.pbs.org/viralplayer/2365012097/" style="border: 0;" width="512"></iframe>

Hong Kong Willie. The name of the artist. In 1958 his mother took Hong Kong Willie to an art class. The name started then. An art teacher when doing crafts out of Gerber baby bottles, made a statement, in Hong Kong reuse was common. At that time he thought this was very interesting. His father had low-land, at that time landfills were common also. The county had told Hong Kong Willie’s father, it was safe, but as we now know this was not so. Something can come from bad to be good. Hong Kong Willie the name came from that art teacher impressing on that young mind that objects made for one use could be for many other uses. Hong Kong for the neat concept. Willie for an American name. So for many years Hong Kong Willie had a life of reuse. Hong Kong Willie saw forms in a different light, His life now was meaningful, knowing this was and would be his life. Art made from found objects, making less of a footprint on this world. Art and art teachers, HOW IMPORTANT. For the ones that have, and the ones who have not. Media can be found. Now 50 years later, we know now being green is important. We need to look at this very carefully. Our children and our world need a different understanding. Objects can be used in many different ways. Hong Kong Willie the tons of objects in his life that have been used, without much change, So for that art teacher what she did for my life. Thank You. I still have the Gerber baby bottle till this day. Hong Kong Willie.<br />

Hong Kong Willie. The name of the artist. In 1958 his mother took Hong Kong Willie to an art class. The name started then. An art teacher when doing crafts out of Gerber baby bottles, made a statement, in Hong Kong reuse was common. At that time he thought this was very interesting. His father had low-land, at that time landfills were common also. The county had told Hong Kong Willie’s father, it was safe, but as we now know this was not so. Something can come from bad to be good. Hong Kong Willie the name came from that art teacher impressing on that young mind that objects made for one use could be for many other uses. Hong Kong for the neat concept. Willie for an American name. So for many years Hong Kong Willie had a life of reuse. Hong Kong Willie saw forms in a different light, His life now was meaningful, knowing this was and would be his life. Art made from found objects, making less of a footprint on this world. Art and art teachers, HOW IMPORTANT. For the ones that have, and the ones who have not. Media can be found. Now 50 years later, we know now being green is important. We need to look at this very carefully. Our children and our world need a different understanding. Objects can be used in many different ways. Hong Kong Willie the tons of objects in his life that have been used, without much change, So for that art teacher what she did for my life. Thank You. I still have the Gerber baby bottle till this day. Hong Kong Willie.</div>

decent amount of local spots in the surrounding Tampa Bay area. These
ranged from restaurants, cafes, parks, bars, and other places of
interest. Recently I got to check out this particular spot that has
always been on mind. If you're frequently in the Temple Terrace area
then there's a pretty big chance you probably been down East Fletcher
Avenue before. If that's the case, then you definitely have seen this
spot I'm talking about. Go east onto Fletcher Avenue and as soon as
you're about to hit Highway I-75, look to your right and you'll see an
establishment with some very interesting art installments around its
vicinity. Just by looking at the photo above, you can see why its hard
to miss. Once again, I had my good friend, Nick, tag along with me to
check out what this place was all about.</span></p><p><span style="color: #eeeeee; font-size: large;"> </span></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhlFOfmeNcpa1tAWgGh6vRTBQ7ILW7O3ZR6323xkjQH5P5v5tNev_CzMKDzHY7Qr7X0BZCs5UE8LlYcNPMn16LPpj_MBBrPkDx17BaumBb1nk2ncwRKzT2MeLbNpgcD9SLYKmEhAIyMl3zaJdJk350zbfF1GhElefAELG0NCiHm5CnwAGoxLCQGMGKpIQCg/s1024/Hongkongwillie,Hong%20Kong%20Willie,Tampa,,%20I%2075%20exit%20266%20Tampa%2033637.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="683" data-original-width="1024" height="213" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhlFOfmeNcpa1tAWgGh6vRTBQ7ILW7O3ZR6323xkjQH5P5v5tNev_CzMKDzHY7Qr7X0BZCs5UE8LlYcNPMn16LPpj_MBBrPkDx17BaumBb1nk2ncwRKzT2MeLbNpgcD9SLYKmEhAIyMl3zaJdJk350zbfF1GhElefAELG0NCiHm5CnwAGoxLCQGMGKpIQCg/s320/Hongkongwillie,Hong%20Kong%20Willie,Tampa,,%20I%2075%20exit%20266%20Tampa%2033637.jpg" width="320" /></a></div><br /><span style="color: #eeeeee; font-size: large;"><br /></span><p></p><p><span style="color: #eeeeee; font-size: large;"> </span></p><h3><span style="color: #eeeeee; font-size: medium;"><b>Hong Kong Willie</b></span></h3><p><span style="color: #eeeeee; font-size: medium;">When we pulled up onto the
property, there were no other cars there besides mine. It made me wonder
if there was even anyone around .
The first thing you'll immediately notice is that the majority of the
property was covered in ocean like paraphernalia such as vibrantly
colored buoys to coconuts. It makes you feel like you're walking around a
dock for boats. </span></p><p><span style="color: #eeeeee; font-size: medium;"><br /></span></p><p><span style="color: #eeeeee; font-size: medium;">We proceeded to walk towards what appeared to be the main building since
it had "open" signs posted around it. The signs led us to a door on the
right side that had a wooden sign with the words, "WE ARE OPEN CALL
813-770-4794". I called the number and before anyone could answer, a man
comes out of nowhere right behind us and asks, "You want to view the
gallery?". He then unlocked the door for us and behind it was a room
completely filled with artwork made by him. These ranged from paintings,
wood carvings, more buoys, and so much more. It was pretty
overwhelming. As we kept looking around, the man introduced himself as
Joe Brown, aka "Hong Kong Willie"</span></p><p><span style="color: #eeeeee; font-size: medium;"> </span></p>
<div class="sqs-html-content">
<h3><span style="color: #eeeeee; font-size: medium;"><b>From Hong Kong to Willie</b></span></h3><p><span style="color: #eeeeee; font-size: medium;">Born and raised
in Tampa, Joe's passion for art started when he attended an art class at
the age of 8. Through it he learned the importance of volunteerism,
reusing, recycling, and giving back to the community. With deep
admiration for his teacher's past work in Hiroshima, the "Hong Kong"
part of his name came from the fact that his teacher was from
there. Later on "Willie" was added to form the catchphrase "Hong Kong
Willie". As time progressed, the young artist unfortunately decided to
leave his interests in art behind with the thought that it wasn't going
to be able to support him in the future. . Now this the part
of the story where things for Joe start to get REALLY interesting. Right
after graduating college, Joe became involved with a project that
helped bring UPC codes to the <span class="JCzEY ZwRhJd"><span class="CSkcDe">grocery stores.</span></span> (UPC codes are those bar codes you
see on products). Sounds crazy right? Who would of known that some
random artist in Tampa played a big role in something like
that? However, he wasn't content with what he was doing with his life;
this led him to move back to Tampa where he spent 5 years living in a
beat down trailer in a forest across the street from where we were
standing. He recalled the trailer days when he would always piss off the
locals by blasting loud music at night and dealing with 20 something
cops showing up; surprisingly, he never got kicked out. Soon it was
finally time for the man to make his comeback as an artist.</span></p><p><span style="color: #eeeeee; font-size: medium;"> </span></p><p><span style="color: #eeeeee; font-size: medium;"><span> So how successful has the artist been since? Well, the highest value
he's ever sold one of his pieces for was $200,000... Holy crap... If
you're able to sell one of your pieces for that much then you're
definitely doing something right. Many of his clients have ranged from
businesses wanting to place something in their stores to individuals who
just want unique artwork in their home. <span> But putting aside the art talk, the artist gave us personal wisdom about his outlook on life.</span></span></span></p><p><span style="color: #eeeeee; font-size: medium;"> </span></p><h1 class="storyheadline"><span style="color: #eeeeee; font-size: medium;"> </span><span style="background-color: yellow; color: #eeeeee; font-size: medium;"><span><span>Hongkongwillie Art </span></span></span><span style="color: #eeeeee; font-size: medium;"><br /></span>

<div class="sqs-html-content">
<h3><span style="color: #eeeeee; font-size: medium;"><b>Willie Wisdom</b></span></h3><p><span style="color: #eeeeee; font-size: medium;">Joe
believes that one of the biggest issues we currently face is people
being too absorbed by the lifestyle of riches, straying them from being
themselves. It's no surprise that when you live in a society that
glamorizes wealth that you become tempted to throw aside your genuine
interests to find ways to get rich instead. I've personally had friends
who've stopped pursuing their passions because it seemed to them a waste
of time since it didn't hold any potential to make them money. A
majority of these passions were related to art, music, and dance. It's
sad to think about but </span><span style="color: #eeeeee; font-size: medium;">as a
photographer myself I understand where they're coming from. Luckily
there are still people out there like Joe who still follow their
passions with zero care about wealth. I've always believed that if you
truly loved doing something then you'll find a way to pursue it
regardless where life takes you. If you find that too hard to do, then
you never loved it in the first place. Joe also weighed in on the issues
of race that have been recently prevalent in media by describing his
personal experiences with it. He acknowledges that as an individual who
physically appears to be white, that it gives him a bigger social
advantage as compared to "minority" races. As a man of Spanish, White,
and Jewish descent, he's had a mild taste of these social tensions when
he once lived in a community of English people. </span></p>
</div>
</div></div><p><span style="color: #eeeeee; font-size: medium;"> </span></p><p><span style="color: #eeeeee; font-size: medium;"> </span></p><p><span style="color: #eeeeee; font-size: medium;">What started off as a normal visit
to Hong Kong Willie, became one of the most enlightening experiences
that I've ever had. Just the amount of resilience that this man had
maintained throughout his life was impressive. His early struggles
really embody the cliché phrase, "When there's a will, there's a way".
He owes a lot of his success to the support of the community, God, and
other artists. Those humbling words left such a big impact on me. </span></p><span style="color: #eeeeee; font-size: medium;"><span>If
you're ever in the area then I highly recommend that you visit Hong
Kong Willie. This definitely beats a visit to a regular art museum for
sure. Below I've provided more info on how you can learn more about
him. You just never know what story a place might hold for you till you
go check it out.</span><iframe allow="encrypted-media" allowfullscreen="" height="332" src="https://player.pbs.org/viralplayer/2365012097/" style="border: 0;" width="512"></iframe>

Recycling as a Lifestyle and a Business<br />
By:<br />
Chris Futrell, Florida Focus<br />
<br />
TAMPA, Fla. – Have you ever seen the building on the corner of Fletcher and I-75 with a bunch of buoys strung everywhere? This small business that many think is an old bait n’ tackle shop is actually Hong Kong Willie.<br />
<br />
Derek Brown, 26, and his family own and operate Hong Kong Willie. The little shop specializes in preservation art. The artists don’t take preservation too lightly either.<br />
<br />
“99 percent of everything that has gone into a piece of art has been recycled and reused,” Brown said.<br />
<br />
Just as unique as the art is, so is the company’s name. Brown says the name was created by his father, Joe Brown, in the 1950s.<br />
<br />
“My father being in an art class, being affected by a teacher, they were melting Gerber baby food bottles," Brown said. "The teacher interjected that Hong Kong had a great reuse and recycling program even then.”<br />
<br />
Brown's father then took that concept and later added the Americanized name Willie to the end. And that's how Hong Kong Willie was born as a location that offers recycling in a different and creative way.<br />
<br />
Hong Kong Willie artists are what are known as freegans. Freegans are less concerned with materialistic things and more concerned about reducing consumption to lessen the footprint humans leave on this planet.<br />
<br />
“I’m sure everyone has their own perception of a freegan, possibly jumping into a dumpster or picking up something on the side of the road,” Brown said. “There [are] people who will have excess. There [are] also things that can be trash to one man, but art or a prize to another man.”<br />
<br />
Brown and his family carry this practice through to their art. It’s his family’s way of life, turning trash, which would otherwise fill up landfills, into an art form.<br />
<br />
The Brown family gets a lot of their inspiration for their art from the Florida Keys. In fact, this is where the deluge of buoys wrapping around the ‘Buoys Tree’ came from, the fishermen of Key West.<br />
<br />
“It is Styrofoam, we understand that it does not degrade, but to blame the fishermen for their livelihood wouldn’t be correct, instead we find a usage for those,” Brown said.<br />
<br />
Brown said there’s a usage for everything, even the hooks to hold the painted driftwood, which are also salvaged, to the wall are old bent forks. Everything’s reused here. Purses made out of old coffee bean sacks to “kitschy,” as Brown described it, jewelry made from old baseballs.<br />
<br />
“Hong Kong Willie truly believes that a piece, whether it’s a bag or a painted artwork, it’s meant for one person.”<br />

decent amount of local spots in the surrounding Tampa Bay area. These
ranged from restaurants, cafes, parks, bars, and other places of
interest. Recently I got to check out this particular spot that has
always been on mind. If you're frequently in the Temple Terrace area
then there's a pretty big chance you probably been down East Fletcher
Avenue before. If that's the case, then you definitely have seen this
spot I'm talking about. Go east onto Fletcher Avenue and as soon as
you're about to hit Highway I-75, look to your right and you'll see an
establishment with some very interesting art installments around its
vicinity. Just by looking at the photo above, you can see why its hard
to miss. Once again, I had my good friend, Nick, tag along with me to
check out what this place was all about.</span></p><p><span style="color: #2b00fe; font-size: large;"> </span></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: large;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgFzBs2LX6ZcnS1jGAPV2HUVtxd8WsWlUfGvOe8rM_AaLd1Dw8u_os__Bf1Wxiwi6dnbg5AC5UsyZriLM0dsQyQVR795egHf82FBCpkf2uJoQFcU4FzRHV1qVXhj5b9LVR3WC4LqJbpciur561xD8WSsYUeUs8c8LbR24F5W1BSBBHAe4ZuhqQ/s750/12345.jpeg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="750" data-original-width="500" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgFzBs2LX6ZcnS1jGAPV2HUVtxd8WsWlUfGvOe8rM_AaLd1Dw8u_os__Bf1Wxiwi6dnbg5AC5UsyZriLM0dsQyQVR795egHf82FBCpkf2uJoQFcU4FzRHV1qVXhj5b9LVR3WC4LqJbpciur561xD8WSsYUeUs8c8LbR24F5W1BSBBHAe4ZuhqQ/s320/12345.jpeg" width="213" /></a></span></div><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span><p></p><p><span style="font-size: large;"> </span></p><h3><span style="font-size: medium;"><b>Hong Kong Willie</b></span></h3><p><span style="color: #2b00fe; font-size: medium;">When we pulled up onto the
property, there were no other cars there besides mine. It made me wonder
if there was even anyone around .
The first thing you'll immediately notice is that the majority of the
property was covered in ocean like paraphernalia such as vibrantly
colored buoys to coconuts. It makes you feel like you're walking around a
dock for boats. </span></p><p><span style="color: #2b00fe; font-size: medium;"><br /></span></p><p><span style="color: #2b00fe; font-size: medium;">We proceeded to walk towards what appeared to be the main building since
it had "open" signs posted around it. The signs led us to a door on the
right side that had a wooden sign with the words, "WE ARE OPEN CALL
813-770-4794". I called the number and before anyone could answer, a man
comes out of nowhere right behind us and asks, "You want to view the
gallery?". He then unlocked the door for us and behind it was a room
completely filled with artwork made by him. These ranged from paintings,
wood carvings, more buoys, and so much more. It was pretty
overwhelming. As we kept looking around, the man introduced himself as
Joe Brown, aka "Hong Kong Willie"</span></p><p><span style="font-size: medium;"> </span></p><div class="sqs-block html-block sqs-block-html" data-block-type="2" id="block-yui_3_17_2_11_1469141873293_184140"><div class="sqs-block-content">

<h3><span style="font-size: medium;"><b>From Hong Kong to Willie</b></span></h3><p><span style="color: #2b00fe; font-size: medium;">Born and raised
in Tampa, Joe's passion for art started when he attended an art class at
the age of 8. Through it he learned the importance of volunteerism,
reusing, recycling, and giving back to the community. With deep
admiration for his teacher's past work in Hiroshima, the "Hong Kong"
part of his name came from the fact that his teacher was from
there. Later on "Willie" was added to form the catchphrase "Hong Kong
Willie". As time progressed, the young artist unfortunately decided to
leave his interests in art behind with the thought that it wasn't going
to be able to support him in the future. . Now this the part
of the story where things for Joe start to get REALLY interesting. Right
after graduating college, Joe became involved with a project that
helped bring UPC codes to the <span class="JCzEY ZwRhJd"><span class="CSkcDe">grocery stores.</span></span> (UPC codes are those bar codes you
see on products). Sounds crazy right? Who would of known that some
random artist in Tampa played a big role in something like
that? However, he wasn't content with what he was doing with his life;
this led him to move back to Tampa where he spent 5 years living in a
beat down trailer in a forest across the street from where we were
standing. He recalled the trailer days when he would always piss off the
locals by blasting loud music at night and dealing with 20 something
cops showing up; surprisingly, he never got kicked out. Soon it was
finally time for the man to make his comeback as an artist.</span></p><p><span style="font-size: medium;"> </span></p><p><span style="font-size: medium;"><span style="color: #2b00fe;"> So how successful has the artist been since? Well, the highest value
he's ever sold one of his pieces for was $200,000... Holy crap... If
you're able to sell one of your pieces for that much then you're
definitely doing something right. Many of his clients have ranged from
businesses wanting to place something in their stores to individuals who
just want unique artwork in their home. <span> But putting aside the art talk, the artist gave us personal wisdom about his outlook on life.</span></span></span></p><p><span style="font-size: medium;"> </span></p><h1 class="storyheadline"><span style="color: lime; font-size: medium;"> </span><span style="background-color: yellow; font-size: medium;"><span style="color: blue;"><span>Hongkongwillie Art </span></span></span><span style="font-size: medium;"><br /></span>

<h3><span style="font-size: medium;"><b>Willie Wisdom</b></span></h3><p><span style="color: #2b00fe; font-size: medium;">Joe
believes that one of the biggest issues we currently face is people
being too absorbed by the lifestyle of riches, straying them from being
themselves. It's no surprise that when you live in a society that
glamorizes wealth that you become tempted to throw aside your genuine
interests to find ways to get rich instead. I've personally had friends
who've stopped pursuing their passions because it seemed to them a waste
of time since it didn't hold any potential to make them money. A
majority of these passions were related to art, music, and dance. It's
sad to think about but </span><span style="color: #2b00fe; font-size: medium;">as a
photographer myself I understand where they're coming from. Luckily
there are still people out there like Joe who still follow their
passions with zero care about wealth. I've always believed that if you
truly loved doing something then you'll find a way to pursue it
regardless where life takes you. If you find that too hard to do, then
you never loved it in the first place. Joe also weighed in on the issues
of race that have been recently prevalent in media by describing his
personal experiences with it. He acknowledges that as an individual who
physically appears to be white, that it gives him a bigger social
advantage as compared to "minority" races. As a man of Spanish, White,
and Jewish descent, he's had a mild taste of these social tensions when
he once lived in a community of English people. </span></p>

</div></div><p><span style="font-size: medium;"> </span></p><p><span style="font-size: medium;"> </span></p><p><span style="color: #2b00fe; font-size: medium;">What started off as a normal visit
to Hong Kong Willie, became one of the most enlightening experiences
that I've ever had. Just the amount of resilience that this man had
maintained throughout his life was impressive. His early struggles
really embody the cliché phrase, "When there's a will, there's a way".
He owes a lot of his success to the support of the community, God, and
other artists. Those humbling words left such a big impact on me. </span></p><span style="font-size: medium;"><span style="color: #2b00fe;">If
you're ever in the area then I highly recommend that you visit Hong
Kong Willie. This definitely beats a visit to a regular art museum for
sure. Below I've provided more info on how you can learn more about
him. You just never know what story a place might hold for you till you
go check it out.</span><iframe allow="encrypted-media" allowfullscreen="" height="332" src="https://player.pbs.org/viralplayer/2365012097/" style="border: 0;" width="512"></iframe>

Recycling as a Lifestyle and a Business<br />
By: <br />
Chris Futrell, Florida Focus<br />
<br />
TAMPA, Fla. – Have you ever seen the building on the corner of Fletcher and I-75 with a bunch of buoys strung everywhere? This small business that many think is an old bait n’ tackle shop is actually Hong Kong Willie.<br />
<br />
Derek Brown, 26, and his family own and operate Hong Kong Willie. The little shop specializes in preservation art. The artists don’t take preservation too lightly either.<br />
<br />
“99 percent of everything that has gone into a piece of art has been recycled and reused,” Brown said.<br />
<br />
Just as unique as the art is, so is the company’s name. Brown says the name was created by his father, Joe Brown, in the 1950s.<br />
<br />
“My father being in an art class, being affected by a teacher, they were melting Gerber baby food bottles," Brown said. "The teacher interjected that Hong Kong had a great reuse and recycling program even then.”<br />
<br />
Brown's father then took that concept and later added the Americanized name Willie to the end. And that's how Hong Kong Willie was born as a location that offers recycling in a different and creative way.<br />
<br />
Hong Kong Willie artists are what are known as freegans. Freegans are less concerned with materialistic things and more concerned about reducing consumption to lessen the footprint humans leave on this planet.<br />
<br />
“I’m sure everyone has their own perception of a freegan, possibly jumping into a dumpster or picking up something on the side of the road,” Brown said. “There [are] people who will have excess. There [are] also things that can be trash to one man, but art or a prize to another man.”<br />
<br />
Brown and his family carry this practice through to their art. It’s his family’s way of life, turning trash, which would otherwise fill up landfills, into an art form.<br />
<br />
The Brown family gets a lot of their inspiration for their art from the Florida Keys. In fact, this is where the deluge of buoys wrapping around the ‘Buoys Tree’ came from, the fishermen of Key West.<br />
<br />
“It is Styrofoam, we understand that it does not degrade, but to blame the fishermen for their livelihood wouldn’t be correct, instead we find a usage for those,” Brown said.<br />
<br />
Brown said there’s a usage for everything, even the hooks to hold the painted driftwood, which are also salvaged, to the wall are old bent forks. Everything’s reused here. Purses made out of old coffee bean sacks to “kitschy,” as Brown described it, jewelry made from old baseballs.<br />
<br />
“Hong Kong Willie truly believes that a piece, whether it’s a bag or a painted artwork, it’s meant for one person.”</div>
