Hong Kong Willie makes first trip to Key West 2008-03-19 17:23:35 Finally Hong KongWillie
's Joe and Kim Brown make their first trip to Key West
for 2008. This time they have a different twist to their visit. Hong Kong Willie is pushing their Green Shopping Bags and so called Dream catcher pictured above. Usually when going to the Florida Keys, Hong Kong Willie brings Kim Brown's art but not this time probably since they are limited to their GEO Metro Hong Kong Willie Google Car. There certainly not a lot of room for Hong Kong Willie when limited to the only vehicle that is left running for this "Preservation Art Group". Last time I checked the "Dreamcatcher" runs around $25-$30 each and their "Green Shopping Bag" runs about $19 each. That seems expensive to me but maybe in Key West that is the going price for weird items such as these. Hong Kong Willi Read more:makes
Hong Kong Willie attacks 2008-04-04 00:39:39 Hong Kong Willie
's Joe Brown has not been acting as an artist or manager but as a Keyword Spammer and rude at that. Joe Brown, you must think and stop being so crazy. You are a member of Hong Kong Willie. That was or is a dream of yours. Focus on the basics and quit spending your time on a borrowed computer attacking me from IP#71.41.38.234. You must now consentrate at your Hong Kong Willie Retail Store and enjoy life and your new endevour. Artists are suppose to be smart. After the attacks
on my friends on Flickr this is what some had to say about you Joe Brown and Hong Kong Willie:Galway Nutter (Michelle) says:To my friends, I'm sorry about this stupidity, but a friend of mine is being attacked by this person.

Don't you get what a Hong Kong Willie is ??? 2008-04-01 14:51:18 I recieved a recent comment about Hong KongWillie
as follows:"Anonymous said...Hong Kong Willie is very well known, much fact and print verifies this. The very fact you expend your energy towards this issue is due to their popularity and your jealousy of their talents and travels."My reply is as simple as this paragraph:As a Hong Kong Willie member, I have no jealousy of their talents and travels. The only talented artist is Kim Brown and I do my best to promote her artwork. Most of what you read on the Internet is composed by me due to the Browns' lack of computer skills. Their travels have become very limited so I must help the cause even more. The message of reduce, reuse, and recycling is all that Hong Kong Willie is about. Joe Browns’ blogs are irritating and extremely repetitive k
Artist Kim Brown of Hong Kong Willie 2008-04-01 14:51:18 Hong Kong Willie
has been increasing known as an Art Group. Hong Kong Willie would never have existed without Kim Brown
. Kim is the backbone of Hong Kong Willie Art Group. The Brown family has always lived by leaving less of a footprint on the World which is at least the main message that Hong Kong Willie was founded upon. Joe Brown aka Hong Kong Willie has talked quite extensively about everyone keeping less out of junk piles or landfills throughout the World. Unfortunately, one family can't change the World but it's certainly a great start by being a pure example to others. Recycling and preservation is what Hong Kong Willie is all about including the art. We can't change the World alone but I do try to get out the message. Living green is a lifestyle and not just a fad anymore. Make no Read more:Hong Kong

Joe Brown's landfill 2008-04-01 14:51:18 Hong Kong Willie would love you to believe that preservation art is what this outfit is all about. That is FALSE. Hong Kong Willie collects items (of their choice) that are destined for a landfill and call themselves preservation artists. To preserve an item is to restore it to it's original use but a freegan or collector of recycled materials is what this Art Group is about. Almost all items that Hong Kong Willie collects can be recycled such as scrap metal, wood, and even their buoys. Hong Kong Willie does reuse the wood they collect for Kim Brown
's art. That is all they collect for any important use. The thought of them living green is almost too funny. Why collect all this junk? Why not recycle over 90% of your collection and clean up your location here in Tampa. There is no need for
Hong Kong Willie vs. City of Tampa 2008-04-01 14:51:18 Most of our area is on well water and septic tanks. The City of Tampa
requires that all your waste water must run into your septic system. Now that is common sense for any solid waste that needs to be broken down through your septic tank and leach bed, then into your yard. Hong KongWillie
's location in Tampa does use common sense rules regarding solid waste but by their own admission the waste water from every other line such as sinks, dishwasher, and washing machine has a separate run-off to water their yard and worm bed. As long as hazardous chemicals aren't used in this separate run-off (which is not) then what is the problem? Following is a quote which was written in Hong Kong Willie's long blogs:"THE HONG KONG WILLIE WAY OF LIFE. RE-USE IN SIMPLE FORM. USING RESOURCES TO THEIR FULL B

creators Joe Brown and Kim Brown always look to the past for inspiration and strength. Whenever circumstances arise that are hard to deal with or just plain frustration about getting the message out of recycling and reuse of objects destined for the landfill. Joe and Kim always remember the times of old when recycling became a commercial campaign in order to try and reach the masses. Hong Kong Willie will always remember the old commercials of Iron Eyes Cody and the tear he shed for his land. Keep your heads up Hong Kong Willies and your hearts true to the message as Iron Eyes Cody did. Read more:Hong Kong

art. Hong Kong Willie must think outside the box with the green art that is made. We need new ideas from fresh minds to ensure Hong Kong Willie's message of living green. Green Art is far from just what Hong Kong Willie makes. Reuse of objects headed for any landfill can create whatever the imagination dreams. Quit acting like a political candidate continually flip-flopping on the Hong Kong Willie message Joe Brown. It would also be nice if you quit misleading the public as you still continue to do to this day. Being a Hong Kong Willie is a small part of living green. There are much bigger solutions that already are in progress today. The video above shows another simple way to reuse materials for entertaining the public. There are
Hong Kong Willie think about it 2008-04-01 14:51:18 Looking at the history of Art and Artists there are several common mistakes that Hong KongWillie
Art Group is making. First of all there is the “weird factor” of artists which I don’t mean in a bad way. Artists such as Kim Brown of Hong Kong Willie seem to see what they are creating before starting a piece of art. That is a very interesting talent that most true artists have. The artists mind is always influenced by their childhood, surroundings, thoughts (both past and present), and current mindset. Every true Artist is different which gives the artwork its own unique qualities. Because it is so hard to get into an Artist’s mind they tend to be called weird, strange, or even crazy at times but this is what the “weird factor” of an artist is all about.

Hong Kong Willie Retail Outlet 2008-04-01 14:48:44 The alleged Preservation Art Group known as Hong KongWillie
has been violating many local laws which have just now come to light. Hong Kong Willie "trying to live off of their art" has finally done one thing right and obtained an Artist license to operate in Hillsborough County as of 10/02/2007. Hong Kong Willie has NOT obtained a Retail
Store license which is one of their many violations. Located at 12212 Morris Bridge Rd. Tampa, FL. 33637-1024, Hong Kong Willie use to be zoned for years as a Service/Repair Shop. Not anymore though. Now this location has been zoned as a Retail Sales Outlet
and must comply with all laws regarding a Retail Store. The proof that Hong Kong Willie has been operating as a Retail Outlet is contained in many publications. The following links are a glimps

Keyword Spamming and Hong Kong Willlie 2008-03-24 14:03:14
As I stated in my very first post about Hong Kong Willie found here, KeywordSpamming
is not a relevant or pure way to get the word out. Check the above article out because I used a simple poem to demonstrate Keyword Spamming. Now that Joe Brown of Hong Kong Willie has been keyword spamming for several years it is coming back to bite this Art Group in the ass. I only need one of the funniest keyword spamming that I found on the Internet about Hong Kong Willie to demonstrate how anyone can use Keyword Spamming to sell items and even promote their own agenda not related to Hong Kong Willie at all. I will quote the following article and then give you the link to see for yourself.

Do you know how to be an artist ??? 2008-03-23 18:20:20 Being an artist is not a job but a passion. Artists throughout the ages have looked, thought, and felt differently than others. Anyone can create something and call it art but it takes a certain type of person to be a true artist. Joe Brown of Hong Kong Willie does not fit the mold of an artist. Although Kim Brown, the artist of Hong Kong Willie Preservation Art has already proven herself to be an artist. Maybe not popular yet but only time will tell. Just what does it take to be an artist? Maybe this video will help out or not:
Hong Kong Willie vs. Kleenex 2008-03-23 18:19:53 Living green and using recycled products is an ever increasing human revelation. Days past have Hong KongWillie
leaving a new message of recycling and reuse but now living green (or being green) is a current and popular idea. It's time to start spreading the message of "how to live a greener life" on Earth before it's too late. There are many ideas and companies that are listening to the movement and making changes but that's not enough. There are certian companies which are ignoring the message of recycling and reuse. Take for instance, Kleenex brand tissues. The box which contains these tissues is made from recycled materials. Is that going far enough? What about what is inside the box: The tissues themselves. How are they produced? Are they partially recycled, entirely recycled, or dir
Sustainable Life on Earth 2008-03-23 18:19:53 Hong Kong Willie has the ultimate goal or dream of people living more than just a sustainable life on Earth
. Hong Kong Willies from around the World want to achieve this goal ASAP considering the World's Industry and pollution records. Living Green is what each and every person can do to help achieve this goal but Industry is reluctant to do so. Industry claims it's too expensive among their many excuses. So how expensive will it get to for all people and Industry to live a sustainable life in the future? The longer it is put off, the more expensive it will be. Now Hong Kong Willie will never have all the answers but leaving less of a footprint on Earth is a start. Once the people of this World figure out how to live a sustainable life on Earth, that will only be yet another step. The ulti Read more:Sustainable

The Real "HONG KONG WILLIE" story 2008-04-10 14:17:48 Hong Kong Willie is closed in Tampa. Hong Kong Willie failed to live up to the City of Tampa standards so there is no longer a Retail Outlet for Hong Kong Willie in Tampa anymore. The truth has finally come out!The Hong Kong Willie Preservation Art Group headed up by Joe Brown is no longer in Tampa. Hong Kong Willie has an alternative use for all those buoys, burlap, bottles, and signs surrounding the Hong Kong Willie shack. Joe Brown of Hong Kong Willie uses these nautical style decorations not only to cover that Hong Kong Willie truly works out of a shack but also that it use to be a retail sales outlet. Hong Kong Willie has no Retail Sales License and with live wires hanging from the ceiling not to mention many other violations, would take some time and money to get up to code.

What a sales gimmick for Joe Brown
of Hong KongWillie
. The main upcoming artist that does most of the art for Hong Kong Willie (at least the art that is worth some money) is Kim Brown the Artist. Yet Joe Brown is Hong Kong Willie as the above document shows on September 24, 2007. Do you ever get the feeling that Hong Kong Willie exaggerates the truth? Hong Kong Willie is not being honest where the Business name for the art group is in Joe Brown's name.

Hong Kong Willie Used Buoys Plagues Tampa Florida 2008-04-24 23:12:32 It is one thing for Hong KongWillie
to sell used buoys for $2.00US plus shipping and handling to tiki bars or nautical theme restaurants/bars. Used Buoys from Hong Kong Willie Art in Tampa
, Florida
may also be used by eccentric people to decorate their backyards as well. The problem lies in the fact that Hong Kong Willie has in their stock over 47,000 used buoys collected over years. Considering Hong Kong Willie’s past sales figures for used buoys, that amount is enough for at least two lifetimes.Since Hong Kong Willie prides themselves on leaving less of a footprint on Earth and has gone to all the trouble of collecting this massive amount of buoys, a few points should be considered. Keep the used buoys that Hong Kong Willie believes they can sell being reasonable, if possible. Then th

As far as what this blog does for Hong Kong Willie on the Internet, I make sense out of the repetitive crap written on all of Hong Kong Willie's Blogs. This blog does more to promote Hong Kong Willie (not to mention the truth about this Art Group) than any blog out there. You may ask yourself, why am I even bothering to help Hong Kong Willie when I have nothing to gain? Since Hong Kong Willie continues to attack rebelniko on the Internet there is no way better than killing with kindness in my mind.
