One of my greatest photoshops. But I didn't stop there. I bought an issue of Rolling Stone, tore off the cover, glued on my own cover, then typed up an article in interview format, and glued it inside the issue. I still have it in my possession.
Backstage at an SF Regional Air Guitar Competition. Bjorn Turoque is a legend and Hall-of-Famer, and the current Emcee/Host of pretty all Regional, Semi-Final, National, and World Championships. He put out his famous DVD, Air Guitar Nation, chronicling his trek to Finland, home of the World Air Guitar Championship, in an effort to be the best in the world. He may not have succeeded, but he he regarded as a godfather in air guitar circles.
This shot was taken by my work associate and friend, Gerald Chang, at work, in front of two Asian lithographs. The mask is actually two pieces. The top piece, in orange with tiger stripes, is the mask worn by Hurricane Helms, from the WWE, paint scheme re-done by Claw. Below the mask is a biker face mask, with a tiger scheme.

Claw debut
March 9, 2014
Welcome to the all-new, debut, of the official Tiger Claw site. In leiu of a DVD, which has been most exasperating to produce, with files, DVD production, burning, and what have you, I felt it would be way easier to create and build a website that has everything Tiger Claw. Videos from all performances in air guitar competitions, club exhibitions, and party demonstrations, as well as cameo appearances with other bands on stage. There's also interview footage of Tiger Claw, as well as air guitarists from around the country.
There's a history of Tiger Claw, along with a gallery of photographs - live shots, personal shots, and a plethora of really cool photoshopped pics that have graced the Net through various forms of social media.
Add to that, up-to-date information and tour dates for the US Air Guitar season, when it hits around May-June, through August. These include: regional qualifying events (quarter-finals), in a city near you, Semi-Final Air Guitar Competitions, the US Air Guitar National Competition, and the World Air Guitar Championship in Finland, of which you can keep track of many of this, through www.usairguitar.com.
As many of you know, I've created numerous Tiger Claw merchandise items, that I give away freely, on a daily basis. If you want extras, or know someone who wants a piece of the action, all of it will eventually be available in the SHOP section. This is a work-in-progress, but I'm in full air guitar mode, especially now that the season is officially in pre-season mode.
Welcome to the new & improved, one-stop-shopping, for all your Tiger Claw Air Guitar needs. Hope you like it. Feel free to drop me a line with any and all thoughts.
