Atop Mt Everest
Posted by Rob | Filed under Abstract, All Drawings, Texas, USA & Canada, Video Drawings
Within an hour of meeting Don Chaffer in Toronto on the 6 April he had found out that I had a very special skill. He learned in a discussion with Frank Couch (Executive Producer of all of the Voice ) that I had the ability to do a headstand. Not only can I do a headstand but I can also do it whilst in the Full Lotus position. Don then challenged me to one day to this ontop of Mt Everest whilst doing a Conscious Reflex Drawing. Not being near the Himalayas (because of course if we were then I would be straight up there) we then set about trying to find a Mt Everest in Middle America. With a week and a bus surely we could find one in the Arkansas. Sadly not.
Two days after finishing the tour whilst in Austin, Texas I pull up to our friends Christy & Andy Hodgson house noticing that they live on Everest Lane………..
The filming was done by Matt Gierhart with an excellent commentary and the full video experience can be viewed by clicking on the photo below. (I’ve had problems in the past with PC users viewing video so let me know if it doesn’t load)
I think it gets better.
I sent this video through to Don and Lori which they enjoyed. However their 2 year old son Miles liked it even more and he has sent through a response for everyone to listen to.
MILES RESPONDS
Being a Chaffer he then enjoyed the performance so much he then practiced his English accent with help from Don.
