Thus I cannot take this easy, no matter how busy am I, I'll still make an effort to complete it, although it's a bit of rush, well it just meet the theme of the "rushing cow"."
Andy's creation is the combination of 40,000 rounded shape, using 3 dimensional to bring closeness, standing at different side of the ox, you can see Andox and Blackie standing at different direction. The point to point must be paste carefully in order for it to look nice, as there is only one ox, it would not make it in time if there's any failure, thus I can only open my eyes big and wide during creation.
When talked about there is a white mist when spraying the white paint and protection layer, Andy said: "The toughest and most funny part is the spray paint time as fear of the smell will affect those employees, when spraying the white paint and protection layer, there is a white mist, everywhere is white, only a mask mark on my face, lying down facing the ox stomach and stick on the nipples feel strange. After sticking the round shaped stickers, what I can see if black dots in my eyes."

I'm glad that I'm able to take part in this designing activity of Cow Parade Taipei 2009, it gives me another platform to design ox, I treat myself as the big ox, I've limited ideas, drew my 2 sons on the body of the ox, they're rushing towards Taipei, thus meet the theme of the festival, this is also a charity, this is some bits that we can do as a family."
With regards to this ox creation, Andy is excited as in recent years he fall in love with art painting.
