The Backdorm Boys graduated this week from the Guangzhou Arts Academy with degrees in sculpture. Check out their final projects:
If you read Chinese, the Baidu’s Backdorm Boys forum has pretty much everything you ever wanted to know, compiled by meticulous fans. For instance, the BB chronology shows that the "As Long as I Love You" video was released in March 2005; by August they were starring in the delightful Moto phone ad, "Radio in my head." Ogilvy & Mather says the ad has been downloaded 60 million times.
