Things Are Really Getting Better is the name of McGee’s most recent solo exhibition at the Museum Het Domein in the Netherlands. The 178-page catalogue provides a comprehensive view of the artist’s career–from his early work on the streets and in handmade zines to his latest installations featuring eye-popping geometry, upended vehicles, and mechanized taggers. It’s the most expansive and complete study of McGee’s work to date. Influenced by ’70s and ’80s graffiti, tramp art, Mexican muralists, and the Beat culture of his native San Francisco, painter McGee has been lionized by the hardest-core graffiti fans and world-class museum curators alike.

Giant Robot is pleased to make this elegant European publication available to art fans on McGee's home continent. In addition to selling the books at Giant Robot stores in Los Angeles, San Francisco, and New York City, it will serve as the exclusive distributor.

In The Sweet Bye & Bye was the 2005 retrospective of Kilgallen’s work at REDCAT in Los Angeles. This show featured over 50 pieces, including two recreated wall paintings. The 208-page program documents and contextualizes hundreds of her works and features a revealing interview with the artist as well as comprehensive essays by REDCAT curator Eungie Joo and Pennsylvania Academy of Fine Arts curator Alex Baker. Like many of her peers, Kilgallen’s paintings were inspired by the streets, graffiti, and music. Setting her apart were specific influences: hand-drawn signage, hobo train writing, and Appalachian banjo music. Inspired by rural sens-ibility rather than urban hipsterism, her use of forgotten letterforms and hand-crafted style–bolstered by her depiction of strong female characters—reached back to create a new legacy.

Giant Robot is pleased to make this prized-but-out-of-print book available once more and will serve as a distributor.

Giant Robot is proud to distribute Blue Deer and Red Fox , a children's book written and illustrated by acclaimed artist Clare E. Rojas.

A well-crafted, handsome artist book has the feeling of a classic children's book with spaciously laid-out storytelling on one side fo each spread and full-bleed paintings on the other. It was published on the occasion of the Forget Me Not exhibition at the Museum Het Domein Sittard in the Netherlands. Born in the Midwest and now based in San Francisco, Rojas paints a dreamy mix of folklore and fairytales. Her guache images blend nature, animals, humans, and other creatures on a geometry-tinged background, and are both calming and intriguing. She has also released two indie folk albums under the alias Peggy Honeywell.

Giant Robot is pleased to make this well-made European publication available to art fans on Rojas' home continent. In addition to selling the book at Giant Robot stores in Los Angeles, San Francisco, and New York City, it will serve as a distributor.

Giant Robot is proud to distribute Superflat, a book edited by Takashi Murakami and featuring the art of Murakami, Yoshitomo Nara, Aya Takano, Chiho Aoshima, and others.

The colorful and dense book is grounded in Murakami’s manifesto, which makes connections between traditional Japanese art such as wood-block prints and postmodern influences such as manga, anime, and toys. The resulting art and culture is a vibrant, forward-thinking, and compelling mix of of works that make little or no distinction between high and low culture or past and present. The Superflat publication was followed by the 2001 art show that attracted nearly 100,000 viewers at MOCA in Los Angeles. Also featured are Aya Takano, Chiho Aoshima, Mr., and Hiromix, as well as designers (Groovisions), filmmakers (Hideaki Anno), animators (Yoshinori Kanada), and others.

Since 1994, Giant Robot has been documenting, promoting, and pushing forward Asian and Asian-American popular culture. Topics of the full-color publication vary with every issue, but range from new art, indie design, and hybrid cinema to unheard music, obscure history, and uncommon travel. Proudly independent of trends and the mainstream, articles typically focus on independent, up-and-coming, unusual, or ignored subject matter.

Printed for the inaugural  art show at GR2, Cursiv is a black-and-white collection of drawings, sketches, writing, and ephemera by David Choe, who had previously self-published Slow Jams, Bruised Fruit and contributed several articles and illustrations to Giant Robot magazine. Showing the influence of comics, graffiti, toys, and crime, the Oakland artist’s work has been commissioned by the likes of Upper Playground, Scion, and Vice.

Dan and Kozue Kitchens (aka kozyndan) is most famous for crafting hyper-detailed panoramic views of various cityscapes that combine the pop sensibilities of the Japanese Superflat scene with the fine linework of Mobius. This full-color publication includes some of the Los Angeles duo’s most popular works and prints, as well as commercial work for Official PlayStation Magazine, CDs for the Postal Service, and Giant Robot.

This is a collection of sketches by indie comics artist Martin Cendreda, who worked on Comedy Central’s South Park TV show and movie but is most proud of his Zurik Robot and Dang! mini-comics. Beginning with cute-yet-melancholy one-panel gags, Cendreda has evolved into longer forms of storytelling that retain his clear-yet-spontaneous style and dark humor. His work has recently been seen on the cover of the MOME anthology.

Inspired by hip hop and affected by the conditions and politics of their hometown of Sao Paolo, the bright forms of Otavio and Gustavo Pandolfo (a.k.a. Os Gemeos) have made the twin brothers not only pioneers of graffiti in Brazil but international ambassadors of the country's street art scene as a whole. Their combination of uniquely Brazilian characters and Pichacao-style tagging effectively walks the line between the whimsical and the outlaw, and has earned accolades from artists, scholars, and collectors around the world. Since they began painting on the streets in 1987, Os Gemeos have crossed over to create public murals and show canvases, sculptures, and installations at galleries. Outside of Sao Paolo, the siblings have shown their collaborative work in Athens, Zurich, Berlin, Newcastle, New York City, and San Francisco.

The Flowers in This Garden Were Planted by My Grandparents was published to commemorate the twins' first solo museum show, which took place at the Museum Het Domein in the Netherlands. The thick, colorful, squarebound book is divided into several sections, including public work juxtaposed with photographs of the streets of Sao Paolo, sketchbook pages, and installation images. The mostly wordless pages thoroughly explore the relationship between the brothers' art and their city - their yellow-skinned characters and their neighbors - and the bond is unique, authentic, and inspiring.
