Paper tigers

Just got back from the Paper Shapers show at Scion Space. We got there shortly after it opened and it was already packed. Above is Hunter Stabler, who made the super ornate, metal-tinged paper cuts by the entrance. I saw him yesterday but never got around to talking to him. Funny thing is I was wearing a High on Fire Shirt then, and he was wearing one tonight--the same one that he's wearing in the program!


Shin Tanaka was the man of the hour. His interview in GR, followed by three punch-out robot ads in the mag, lead up to tonight's paper-themed show. Eloise was in awe of the man.


My sister Angelyn and her daughter Lucia, checking out Shin's stuff.


Here's Mu Pan with his ladyfriend. To the right, Polly Verity (from yesterday's blog) meets Eloise.


My brother Greg and my niece Saoirse checking out Origamu...


Peter Calleson by his intestinal-looking paper installation with Cate on the right and Michael Keaton to his rear (on crutches).


And now more GR folks... Legal enforcer Mitch hanging out by the bathroom with Eric .


GR contributor, softball player, and number-one Snoopy fan, Brian got dressed up. (Crud, I didn't get a pic of ad ace/curatorial dabbler Margaux, contributing photographer Max, and Max's dad.)


We saw hardcore GR reader Luis on the way out, where there was a huge line waiting to get in! It was time for us to get Eloise to sleep--she was starting to eat the program in desperation--but I'm sure Eric will put-up some behind-the-scenes pics and post-party blackmail photos on his blog soon enough...
