I am not a busker, but I do put myself to the test by posing in public as a statue intending to win. My mission is to spread happiness by making impossible moments possible.

Frequently asked questions:
II live in Arizona and perform in the beautiful city of Scottsdale. Nicknamed the West's most Western town, Old town Scottsdale is a popular destination for locals and visitors alike. The art and architecture recreate the ambiance of the old west. Which is why I chose a cowboy as my character! I blend right in.
Needless to say, Arizona is a desert and the weather makes it too hot to perform most of the year. December to April are the only months when I might have a chance to perform on weekends.
This is my Social experiment
I am an artist and this is my interpretation of interactive art.
Attempting to pose in public as a bronze statue is a challenge. The last thing I want is to appear like a person who thinks they look like a statue. I've seen 'living statues before and I wasn't fooled and I think I can't be fooled. In fact, I'll bet whoever is reading this doesn't think they could be fooled either.
That is what everyone in my videos said before meeting me.
I don't hand out business cards or promote KZhead while performing. It only invites conversation which I avoid for the sake of the next opportunity which I wouldn't want to spoil.
I first tried this just to see if it was even possible.
THIS IS NOT A 'PRANK" Scaring people is not my intention. I am not out to invade people's 'space', shout or yell 'boo!' at people who are minding their own business. (unless I am bored) I prefer to be called amazing, not #$#&!!. Many more people pass by oblivious, to my presence.
I just sit and mind my own business. I believe using this unique approach is why I am welcomed and supported by the city.
Have I ever upset anyone?
I have never had a negative reaction, well once.
I've never been intentionally hit, or been bitten by a dog. No heart attacks. Using my approach, I am not to blame if someone mistakes me for a statue. It's not my fault.
Besides, everyone is too busy laughing.
I make a one in a million moment possible and who the lucky person is totally at random.
Timing is not up to me most of the time. Most people touch me as they sit and realize something is up before the right time. Each person is different and I try to wait for the right time to reveal myself. Sometimes they get away before I make my move.
I am sorry for the quality of the video. Filming was an after thought and my lack of experience shows. Also, the way I concealed my camera interfered with the sound and picture. I have spent money on a new camera and it was problematic and ultimately stopped functioning.. I have used an old Canon that has never failed me. I can sacrifice the quality if it means confidence that I'm capturing the moment with a camera that is reliable.
My costume is just old clothes and A LOT of paint. Metallic Bronze paint. Nothing special. For make up I use black eyeliner for a base and metallic creme makeup. I create texture using a small screen.
It takes under an hour to be ready to go. Removing the makeup using soap and water is what takes hours.
Finally, SUBSCRIBE it's free!
I need everyone to share my videos with friends and family and share using all social media sites to help me spread the laughter.
to thank you...
I'll have a NEW video every Saturday morning
until January 2020 (or longer?)
Please

It’s funny watching the elderly guys set up their wives! “Honey set next to this statue!” Ha Ha!!
LMAO 😄 This stuff never gets old.
No it does not. That is partly because every reaction is so different.
I like the guy at 3:28 actually setting up a back story about the "statue" to scare the person. 😂
yes exactly!!! i always think BC should have a sign that says the "back story" of the statue of the famous"bronze cowboy" who robbed the local bank, so that attracts people to him! then, gotcha!
I was just about to say the same thing. LoL
He set it up good. That was a winning scare.
DUde !!! THANK YOU fer the extra BONUS !! Even funnier than the 1st one !! Bronze Cowboy RULZ !!!
So happy I found your channel! Always gives me a giggle! 😊😊
Jade, thank you for watching my videos! I need the views!
even funnier when ladies go back to being young girls again by bringing their friends along to be 'scared' by you and laugh their hearts out! ..thanks again BC for the laughters..be waiting for more;)
Think l heard more screams than giggles, or maybe half and half. Love it always Bronzie. GB! ❤
This is a perfect example of how friends get back at friends. Very, very funny. The Doctor of Statueology is hard at it again today, giving out doses of laughter and screams. Thanks BRONZE COWBOY!!!
Cool 😎 man... Some real good scares in this one. Thanks for the laughs Keith.

I HAVE NEVER STOPPED LAUGHING, THAT'S GREAT
I loved every second of the vid. I laughed so much the birds thought I had flipped out. Have a nice day.
Ok laughing my bum off, love my Saturday bronze cowboy videos
For me today is Sunday, but no matter what day of the week, this is great. Start at 1:50, that was funny. If I had to pick an addiction, I'd pick the Cowboy. I'll quit drinking before I give him up, and I'm an alcoholic. LoL Lots of love buddy. 👊👍🍻🤗
Great day🤣🤣🤣so many great reactions 🤣🤣🤣

Today as I lie here recovering from being ill, I'm watching your videos and feeling better because laughter does good as a medicine. Thanks again for all the joy and laughter you bring. The world could stand to have more folks like you. God has blessed us with you.

Jimmy, Thank you for watching my videos!
JUST A GREAT GIMMICK KS.. REALLY ENJOY YOUR ACT. Watch it all the time..:) GOD BLESS YOU BUD..dj
Thank you 👍🌺❤️🌹💐👌‼️
The places you film at work perfect because it seems like a cowboy statue would really be there
right!
That was so funny 🤣🤣🤣
Love live Art at work 😍
I needed this laughter on this Blah Monday. Thank you for lifting my spirit.
Great video. when you feel a little down , come and watch your video you will be laughing in a sec, love it.
Lol still the best.
2:59 her reaction is a priceless one
You're the best
Another great video👍👍👍
Keep doing amazing things? You always put a smile on my face? And you put a smile on everyone face?
You speak a thousand languages without ever saying a word
Well said.
Laughter is Universal... I agree, my videos translate in every language... in that case, shouldn't I have billions of views? What am I doing wrong? How does KZhead let people know I even exist? It seems I grow like a turtle in a race, one share at a time. I am not complaining but then again I am... aren't my videos for all ages? all languages? I guess just not all tastes... I don't scare the life out of people, hurt people, risk being assaulted or arrested, the kind of things it seems like KZhead viewers want to see, things that make videos go viral. If that is the case I would rather be that turtle... and in the end, time will tell and maybe, just maybe, I will come out on top in the end!
@@BronzeCowboy dude....your good.
@@BronzeCowboy If you enjoy what you do and having fun in heart and mind....KZhead doesn't matter but we love it
@@BronzeCowboy I guess the problem with becoming known is just making enough "noise" in this giant "sea" of videos. I remember reading about 6 or 7 years ago that about 500 _YEARS_ worth of videos (combined play length) are uploaded to KZhead every day. So the number of videos out there must just boggle the mind! I checked your video page and it looks like your first video is from April of 2012, so about 7 and a half years of doing this. (Here's that video: photos.app.goo.gl/wg9aZdmwS1zAtvrRA if anyone is interested). I guess this sort of thing just takes time. I think you can check in KZhead's analytics to see how subscriptions and/or viewings have increased over time. Currently you have 168k subscribers and this one has 120,197 views so you're doing pretty good.
Good one. Lol😂👍👍👍❤️
You made my day.
great stuff as always . thank you.
Note to self , don't take a swig of coffee while watching bronze cowboy !
Half the fun is watching the people in the background. They are waiting and waiting and then someone shows up and sits down and they fall over from laughing so hard. I could not believe the amount of people that were on the walks that day. All wanting to get a picture with the Doctor of Statueology, the one and only BRONZE COWBOY!!!!!
5:25 hey come here and look in this bag... boo! That's hilarious lol
Thank you for watching my videos!
I think I would've let the woman at 1:22 sit down first. Lol. Good job as always BC. Peace.
Part 1 good as always but Part 2 fantastic! And you know what was very good as well. Never seeing so many “NOT” overweight US citizens in your video, since a long time!
Jo thank you for watching my videos! What can I say? Must have been a Weight Watchers convention in town this day!
Another excellent video Keith! Thanks
The end is epic hahaha
That's sick to set up your friends, 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣bronze Cowboy is worth his weight in gold,Ride on Cowboy.
Don’t know how many times I watched this l laugh every time 😂
So good and funny as always! I liked it. Many thanks for lovely video! Have a nice day everyday! 👍😅❤🌴☀️🖐💕👌
2:26 "it's amazing what it it".... if you knew what it is you wouldn't have got the surprise.... 😂😂
These videos are so much fun my cheeks get sore from grinning.
Part 2 full action bro, good jop.
Your the best, keep it up
David, thank you for watching my videos! I need the views!

This guy provides more laughter in a day than most provide in a lifetime. The world needs more people like him!
Эмоции.какие.положытельные.молодец.мужык.надо.себе.сделать.
Excellent work, Cowboy! The poor guy at 4:45 will never forget the day he got bronzed. Lots of screams, laughs, and memories created this day.
Jajaja 😂 muy bueno!!!! Muy gracioso!!! Gracias Cowboy de bronce!!! Saludos de Argentina 👍👋👋👋
you are amazing , thanks, from Egypt
WOW Egypt! My dream vacation... my #1 thing to see before I die. I just wish I knew it was safe to go there. That is sad to have to say that of all the places in the world... unlike the Acropolis, The Great Wall and Machu Picchu (to name a few) the Pyramids seem to be off limits for any chance to visit. I hope I am wrong, in which case your country needs to work on its perception to encourage tourism. I would be the first to come if I thought I would be welcomed.
Going through a difficult time right now with serious illness afflicting family and friends, and these videos are a wonderful and much needed distraction. Thanks so much 😀.
179cpv I am sorry to hear about your situation, and it warms my heart to know that I am there with you in troubled times. I often wonder why I do something so 'out of the box' so 'weird' and I often wonder if I am wasting my life performing like a statue, in face paint and costumes when I should be doing something productive with my time. But then I receive a comment like yours and I realize my purpose... that what I am doing really makes a difference in other peoples lives in ways I never dreamed. I am doing something with my life that means more than anything I have ever done! Thank you for making ME smile and I am glad I can do the same for you! No other 'job' or hobby I have ever performed has impacted more lives in valuable ways than when I started performing as a bronze statue... best decision I ever dared myself to make. thank you, and thank you for watching my videos!
Muy bueno como todos!!!😂😂
I love your videos. I could be having a crappy day, watch 10 minutes of you and all is right with the world. Good Job!!
WOW!! This video was packed with great reactions. One thing I know for sure, this isn't the last time I'll be watching this video
😂😂😂 Thank you good

Great editing as the scares got even better in part 2. One of your best videos ever.
Love how you treat the kids, adults are fair game! Come to N.C. I'd drive 200 miles to say howdy! 😜
Sir Keith ' Bronzie' , You' re the best . i am Your big fan from Jakarta, Indonesia
The best part is when people set up other people and stand there laughing

You got 3 ladies at once around 5:25. Well done Keith. Your upping your game man.
I have to stop watching this! Lol
I love watching people set up other people. That outfit has to be hot this time of year unless these are videos you haven’t posted yet from the cooler season. You’re still the best. Thank you.
