The Funky Outdoor Gallery In Florida Where You’ll Find Whimsical Recycled Art Installations . Updated 12/21/2025

Florida’s landscape is a tapestry of vibrant scenes, from sun-soaked beaches to lush, tropical wetlands.

.

But nestled away in an unassuming corner of Tampa lies a treasure trove of creativity that’s as whimsical as it is thought-provoking.

 

Welcome to Hong Kong Willie’s, a funky outdoor gallery where the discarded and forgotten are reborn as eclectic art.

This place isn’t your standard museum or gallery—it’s a celebration of imagination, recycling, and the beauty that exists in giving things a second chance.

Let’s embark on a journey together, shall we?

 

Located in a corner of Tampa, there lies an art installation that’s as much about the message as it is about the medium.

Hong Kong Willie’s is not your average gallery.

It’s an eclectic mix of recycled materials turned into thought-provoking art.

From afar, it might look like a quirky roadside attraction.

But get a little closer, and you’ll discover a world rich with creativity and environmental consciousness.

 

Picture a space where every nook and cranny brims with stories, where every piece of art was once something else entirely.

At Hong Kong Willie’s, it’s about the transformation, the process where an old fishing buoy becomes a vibrant sculpture, where a used burlap sack finds new life as an eco-friendly handbag.

The gallery is more than a collection of objects but a testament to the power of reinvention.

 

Upon arrival, you’re greeted by a kaleidoscope of colors, textures, and materials that immediately capture your imagination.

The air is filled with the spirit of creativity as if the very atmosphere invites you to see the world differently.

Here, the ordinary becomes extraordinary, and you’ll find yourself marveling at art pieces that once had an entirely different purpose.

Creativity flows like a river at Hong Kong Willie’s, and every piece you encounter tells its own unique story.

Who knew that driftwood could have aspirations, or that rusty metal could dream of a more artistic future?

 

And let’s not get started on the fabric wall hangings.

They’re like the quilts your grandma never made because she was too busy being practical.

This is the kind of place where you walk in and immediately feel like you’re friends with every piece of art.

They’ve all got stories, probably involving a past life as a bottle cap or a pair of jeans.

 

It’s a gallery, sure, but it’s also like attending the coolest recycling convention ever, where the dress code strictly prohibits anything new.

You’ll find sculptures here that are more social butterflies than inanimate objects.

They’re just waiting to spark a conversation, and trust me, they’re not shy.

I mean, if I were crafted from the flotsam and jetsam of human existence, I’d have a few things to say too.

 

Hong Kong Willie’s isn’t just a feast for the eyes but a smorgasbord for the soul.

And while you might walk out with a lighter wallet, you’ll definitely carry a heavier dose of inspiration.

It’s a place where creativity isn’t just on display—it’s infectious.

But don’t worry, that’s one bug you’ll be happy to catch.

As you meander through the gallery, it’s almost as if the vibrant canvases and sculptures leap out to greet you, each with its own quirky backstory.

Here, the line between ‘junk’ and ‘genius’ is as thin as the varnish on an old violin.

 

They chat with you as if you’re old friends, sharing the eureka moments behind their creations.

Who’d have thought a bicycle chain could evoke such emotion?

Or that a shard of glass could reflect so much more than just your face?

It’s a place where every conversation leaves you a little more enlightened, and every piece has a personality as colorful as the folks who made it

 

 In a world increasingly concerned with sustainability, Hong Kong Willie’s serves as a beacon of eco-friendly practices.

 

The gallery doesn’t just talk the talk but walks the walk, demonstrating that art and environmentalism can go hand in hand.

Visitors leave not only with a sense of awe but also with a renewed commitment to reduce, reuse, and recycle in their daily lives.

Families find Hong Kong Willie’s to be a particularly magical place.

Children watch with wide-eyed wonder as they explore the whimsical sculptures and installations.

It’s a place where their imagination can run wild, where they learn that creativity has no bounds and that everything has the potential to become something beautiful.

 

 

The gallery isn’t just a place to observe art—it’s a place to experience it.

Interactive installations invite you to become part of the art itself.

Snap a photo with a giant fish sculpture made of upcycled materials, or let the wind play a melody on a chime constructed from reclaimed glass.

It’s these moments of interaction that truly make Hong Kong Willie’s a wonderland of recycled art.

 

 

Best of all, this outdoor gallery is free to explore.

In a world where so many experiences come with a price tag, it’s refreshing to find a destination that welcomes everyone with open arms, regardless of their budget.

It’s a reminder that some of life’s most enriching experiences don’t have to cost a thing.

As the sun begins to dip below the horizon, casting long shadows across the vibrant art pieces, you’ll find yourself reflecting on your visit.

Hong Kong Willie’s has a way of sticking with you, of gently nudging you to see potential where you once saw waste.

It’s a place that challenges your perceptions and encourages you to think outside the box.

You know you have seen it. Whether you know it as “the Christmas tree” or the “art station,” Hong Kong Willie’s is a spectacular, unique sight.

Seated in the corner of Morris Bridge and I-75, Hong Kong Willie’s is a gallery where many unique pieces of art are displayed and sold.

Always seeing this place on our way to school, former Editor-in-Chief Pankti Mehta and I had wondered about it for a long time. At the beginning of this summer, we decided to go there and find out.

As we walked into the blue shack, we were greeted by a friendly face. Wearing a blue Hawaiian shirt and khaki shorts, and with his hair pulled back into a ponytail, Joe Brown, or more commonly known as Hong Kong Willie, welcomed us and shared with us the story of his life.

Hong Kong Willie is an artist who finds the meaning in what others would deem as “junk” items. His journey began in his childhood when he collected discarded items from the landfill where he lived and sold them.

“By the time I was eight years old, I was walking around with hundreds of dollars in my pockets,” Brown said.

He had never thought he would enter the realm of art, but his mother knew otherwise. She was the one who made him to go to art school.

“My mother believed that if you were born to do something, you were to do that,” he said.

At art school, he met the person who would inspire his nickname. His art teacher explained the importance and meaning behind insignificant, common items to her students. She had gone to Hiroshima shortly after the atomic bomb had been dropped, and then had left out of Hong Kong. Her inspirational story was the reason Brown nicknamed himself Hong Kong Willie.

When he was in college, the technological industry was booming, with many new innovations coming out in different areas of society. Brown decided to step into it. However, after being in the technological industry for a while, Brown went through a realization:

“I just wasn’t made up for that.”

Knowing that the technological world was filled with greed, Brown decided to step out of it in 1981. He knew that his life’s calling was to be artist, and he was going to be just that.

“We are here to tell a story … to take common items that are not manufactured media that have a meaning.”

He set up his station first in the Florida Keys, but then moved to Tampa, where he has now been living for 37 years.

A firm believer in predestination, Brown explains that he got these beliefs from his father.

“My father understood why he was here. And he made that of great importance to his children… My father gave me the understanding of why we were here
And to be determined to find that.”

In today’s fast-paced society, teaching of such life lessons has become rare. People are more motivated to “get famous and get money,” as Brown put it.

“I’m here just to exemplify and maximize why I’m here. That’s probably the greatest thing that I think is missed in families.”

Hong Kong Willie also explained one of his special pieces to us, which was called Miriosity. Shaped like a bird, Brown used the embedded frailties within the wood to bring out the meaning in the piece.

“Many artists don’t produce more than one great, great, great piece. And Miriosity, she just has all of those elements… Miriosity has a great future.”

Hong Kong Willie has supporters who come into his gallery and buy many of his pieces. With the money that he makes, he gives back a large portion to various social projects. His art is not just a business, and he makes that very clear.

“You can only buy a piece of art if you have fallen in love with it,” he said. He recalled a time when he turned down a buyer from buying some of his works because he knew the reason for buying those works was not genuine.

Hong Kong Willie keeps the presence of art alive in today’s society. Wherever his art goes, a piece of him will forever be with each piece. We are very grateful for his time and his dedication to his work.

Famous Tampa Artist . Updated 11/19/2021

Tampa gallery practices the art of creative reuse

By Kerry Schofield


The year was 1958.Famous Tampa Artist Joe Brown, 8, lived next to a county dump site in Tampa, Fla. Brown found old junk, fixed it up and sold it. Brown knew he had a higher calling in life — he was destined to be an artist.

Brown, who is now 60, makes art from trash at his Hong Kong Willie Art Gallery. He has embellished the outside of the gallery with splashes of Caribbean-color paint and found objects reminiscent of Key West.

Brown is as colorful as the gallery — he wears a bright tropical shirt with red, white and blue plaid shorts. Patrons tell him they can smell the salt water when they drive up. The gallery, however, is perched inland near Morris Bridge Road and Interstate 75 where a rusty-hair hen named Fred, first thought to be a rooster, patrols the property. Fred, abandoned five years ago by tourists, trots between the gallery and adjacent hotel leaving a trail of droppings behind her.

Brown lived on the Gunn Highway Landfill from 1958 to 1963. The Hillsborough County landfill operated for four years and was closed in 1962. “It was astounding how quick they could fill the 15 acres in pits that were enormous,” Brown said.

An apartment complex now sits on top of the old landfill. A report by the Florida Department of Environmental Protection indicated that a lining was placed underneath the complex when it was built to block methane gas from leaking. The gas is a byproduct of rotting garbage.

 As a child, Brown lived on his father’s dairy and beef farm. Brown said during heavy rain, the low land on the farm flooded the neighboring Gunn Highway. In 1957, Hillsborough County officials offered to elevate the low land to stop the flooding by turning it into a landfill. When the property was sold in 1984 by Brown’s father, soil testing revealed heaps of old paper and punctured cans of spray paint.

“They dug up and took out newspapers like the day they were put in,” Brown said. “It reminded me of nuclear bombs that were going to go off. They dumped everything in the landfill.”

As a child, Brown foraged at nearby dumpsters. County workers saved junk for him that people dropped off. One day, Brown’s parents got a call from his elementary school teacher and told them that Brown had $100 in his pocket and that he must be stealing.

Brown picked up the saved junk after school and turned it into something new. Contrary to his elementary school teacher’s accusation, he wasn’t a thief after all. Instead he was a young entrepreneur who sold other people’s trash.

“There was so much excess coming into the landfill,” Brown said. “There was so much waste from our society.”

However, Brown’s mother wanted him to pursue his talents and dreams, not money. But he developed a business sense during his young junk collecting days and told his mother, “I’m not going to be an artist. I’ve read that artists starve to death.”

Brown’s mother became concerned. He said his mother knew “the value of happiness and the travels of life” and sent him to a summer art class.

The art teacher inspired awe in Brown. She taught him how to reuse baby food jars by melting the glass and adding marbles to the mix to create paper weights. The teacher had traveled to Hong Kong, China and Hiroshima, Japan after World War II. She saw how people were forced to recycle and reuse items out of necessity after the war. This left an impression on Brown.

It was at this time that he personified the name Hong Kong Willie, which harkens back to China where the mass production of merchandise occurs. The “Willies” are people like Brown and other environmentalists who try to reuse trash instead of throwing it into landfills.

After high school, Brown went to college to study business but dropped out after three years. He worked in the material handling industry until 1981. Although Brown had achieved a successful career and lifestyle, he had become discouraged in 1979.

“The change came from knowing that I had come to the point of what people call success,” Brown said. “I wasn’t happy inside.”

He had been diagnosed with depression in 1973, a condition that was caused from high fructose intake and that lasted for more than four years.

In 1985, Brown and his artist wife, Kim, bought the half-acre property off Fletcher Avenue and Morris Bridge Road. For two decades the two small wooden shacks, built around 1965, that now house the gallery operated as a bait and tackle shop.

Nowadays, Brown raises and sells worms by the pound mainly for composting. He recycled 250 thousand pounds in the worm bed in 2009. Brown still sells the worms for $4.50 a cup for fishing.

In 1981, Brown resurrected the Hong Kong Willie name from his childhood art class. In the early 1980s, both he and his wife, Kim, began upcycling trash into art. Brown entered another world when he left his mainstream lifestyle behind — he joined the art scene and booked rock bands at the same time.

The Brown family spent half their time in Tampa and the other half in a small home on Boot Key Harbor in Marathon. Brown gained the reputation of the Key West lobster buoy artist.

“I had a total different appearance when in Key West,” Brown said. “I used to have hair down to my waist.”

When Brown came back to Tampa, he lived in the woods for months at a time, much like Henry David Thoreau in “Walden,” who had lived a simple lifestyle in a one room cabin near Walden Pond in Concord, Mass.

Back in Key West, Brown became friends with local fishermen. He and others organized efforts to clean up plastic foam buoys that had collected in the waterways from years of fishing.

“You would go and find buoys floating in the mangroves, up on the shore and they had trashed up everything,” Brown said.

The Earth Resource Foundation reports that plastic foam is dumped into the environment. It breaks up into pieces and chokes animals by clogging their digestive system.

Brown sells the buoys from the Hong Kong Willie Art Gallery for $8.00 a piece. He said he has sold from 30 to 40 thousand buoys in the last ten years. Some of the buoys are more than 50 years old and are collected by tourists from China and Japan.

“If you go to the Keys right now and you see a buoy floating, you’ll see someone slam on the brakes to get it,” Brown said. “They’re the most prized buoys of the world.”

Brown made a holiday buoy tree 12 years ago from the Key West buoys. Hundreds of buoys are strung on rope and wrapped around a utility pole next to the gallery. Brown hopes the novelty of the buoy tree will inspire and stimulate children to find new ways to reduce, reuse and recycle garbage.

In Kate Shoup’s “Rubbish! Reuse Your Refuse,” the author said much of what we get is designed to be scrapped after only a few uses. We easily throw away pens, lighters, razors and dozens of other items. Shoup said Americans consume 2 million plastic drink bottles every 5 minutes.

Likewise, Brown finds uses for items that would otherwise end up in a landfill. He buys used burlap bags from coffee and peanut producers. He sells them to the U.S. National Forestry Service for the collection of pine seeds and Samuel Adams for hops production.

Brown and his wife, Kim, also make art hippie bags from the burlap sacks and sell them in the gallery. Kim, also an artist, paints fish, turtles, crows, parrots and the like on driftwood and on wood that Brown has salvaged from saw mills and from old buildings in Key West.

Brown said art is viewed and appreciated by certain people. “If it all came out the same, it would be like bland grits all the time,” Brown said. He likes to refer to the gallery art as reused rather than recycled, which takes waste and turns it into an inferior product.  Reuse on the other hand involves remaking an item and using it again for the same intended purpose.

“I also try to stay away from imprinting a definite use for a definite item,” Brown said. He explains that 2-liter bottles are not limited to making bird feeders. The bottles can be used for art and craft projects as well.

Brown said the larger message he wants to communicate is that the disposal of garbage today is creating a toxic environment.

 “I still have the original Gerber baby food bottle that I melted” Brown said. “It’s sitting on my mom’s little table.”

  NORTH TAMPA -- Passers-by traveling south on Interstate 75 at Fletcher Avenue might wonder: 'What's up with the lobster buoys?'

  NORTH TAMPA -- Passers-by traveling south on Interstate 75 at Fletcher Avenue might wonder: 'What's up with the lobster buoys?'
Strings of the colorful floats adorn Hong Kong Willie, a roadside business with roots in a northwest Hillsborough County landfill and the garbage dumps of Hong Kong.
Poised among chain businesses common at interstate interchanges, Hong Kong Willie sells Florida-centric art, artifacts, worms and even soil for gardeners. As diverse as the inventory seems, there is a theme: promoting a close-to-the-ground, sustainable approach to art and living.
The unusual business is run by Joe Brown, 61; his wife, Kim, 51; and their adult son, Derek.
The enterprise is not named for a particular person. It's more of a conceptual amalgamation, its owners say.
The recycled burlap coffee bags, lobster buoys and driftwood sold at the store are reflective of Joe Brown's childhood. As a boy he watched garbage trucks haul Tampa's trash to a dump on property owned by his family.
"It really made an impression on me," he said. "It became very easy to think outside the box and know where I could find things from resources that were just abounding."
* * * * * When Brown's mother took him to an art class taught by an instructor who had spent time in post-World War II Asia, he learned how artists there scrounged for materials that had creative potential.
"It was a different kind of recycling because it was done out of need and touched the human spirit and the heart," he said.
During the past 28 years the Browns have transformed a bait-and-tackle shop into a shrine to sustainable art. But aside from a robot waving an American flag and wearing a "For Sale" sign — and the overall spectacle of the shack-like store itself — there is no signage beckoning drivers to pull into the parking lot of 12212 Morris Bridge Road or to wander over from a nearby Bob Evans restaurant.
"There has never been, in all the years of being here, some massive sign saying who we are and what we do," Joe Brown said. "Because when people finally decide out of inquisitiveness to slow down and stop, they've finally slowed down enough to hear the most important message of their life."
Most of their business is conducted online .Their catalog includes crafts and artwork created with recovered material such as wood from sawmills and the sides of demolished Key West homes. Kim Brown paints on the recycled materials; her "Eye of Toucan" painting, for example, is for sale for $8,100. Other featured items include handbags made from decorated burlap coffee bean bags for $250, and potato chip platters morphed from heated and shaped vinyl records for $4.99.
The ubiquitous painted lobster buoys are big sellers. They go for a few dollars each depending on condition and artistic application.
The Browns travel frequently to the Florida Keys, promoting their art and gathering raw materials such as the buoys, driftwood and even an orange helicopter. Joe Brown said the chain of islands at Florida's southern tip hold an attraction for the family beyond being a source of creative flotsam.
"That is a place of resourcefulness," he said, "because they're not the kind of people to rely upon the government."

   Reuse Became the way of life. To Live a life in the art world and be so blessed to make a social impact. Artists are to give back, talent is to tell a story, to make change. Reuse is a life experience

It all started on a Tampa Landfill.

It,(was the dump) that had all this media, and a young enterprising mind. Not enough time to capture it all.

 A short moment of time Hong Kong Willie

The first time i can remember, The Florida Keys. The long road , narrow water on both sides. Beach, not to my understanding. Key West, Duval St, only what tourists see, was my first impression. WOW, that would change

 i received a phone call from Al in Ramrod Key, a Florida Key. A Key that is about 27 miles from Key West. Al: a rocker, drummer, out there kind a guy. Al and i met in a funny way. Al living near some small town in Massachusetts also having this cool place in the Florida Keys.
Artist have this draw to the Keys, Why, Well it took this road to discover. Al now living in Ramrod, calling to tell what had happen in the Isle of Ramrod. Not to mention Cat, oh i forgot, Cat is how i met Al.

Al, someone that, well to say what a friend. Some nights sleeping on his pool table. and not far is No Name Pub, well there you go, pub, by any other name spells trouble. Well contrary to your disbelief, what a place of history. This is where it begins.or When its begins.

This once remote Key, NO NAME KEY,NO NAME PUB, remote, to say the
least, pub , when seeing the place, everything you can believe, and more,
just from the appearance. Now no matter what you have heard second
thoughts still occur.. Its still time turn around, not to night. The
Rainbow Trail by Zane Grey, was spoken here, my first exposure to the
days of Zane Grey, oh I'm getting ahead of myself. No Name Pub, a Zayne
Grey second office in the Keys, later to be one of mine. No Name Pub,
the history, the wild west, well, great writers, why they come here, No
Name Pub. Real artist, Real Treasure hunters, Fisherman, and the trade no
one saw, all came. No one made a big deal who came or left.

It was part of the beginning for the art support. A meeting place for the who's who in the world of the Keys.
Egos left a the door.
Appreciating that you did not get lost in that world .
Artist that had made it and willing to give you support. .
This was a place that I will always remember for the time I sharpen my artist skills..
