Giant Robot Store and GR2 News
OFF!'s free midnight show at the Echoplex
As it was for a lot of you out there, this wasn’t the easiest year for me and my family. Following Giant Robot’s print magazine going on hiatus at the tail end of 2010, I was unemployed with no job leads or responses to my queries for the first six months. Then, after I got an awesome job out of nowhere, the company my wife worked for was purchased by a competitor and shut down. Fortunately, we’ve managed to get by through frugal habits, a rock-solid support system of family and friends, and the PMA. And yes, there have been highlights. Here are ten of them–some of which has been written about in the blog, others merely alluded to, and a couple of odds and ends–in no particular order.
The local news in Los Angeles, love picking up on Art Center graduation concept cars and I can see why. The cars are futuristic concepts designed by tomorrows car designers. Thanks for modeling technology, the quality of what’s shown looks as professional as ever. I’d like to have some of these are remote control cars. The rest of the work is strong and consistent throughout, and each section is as fresh and can be. I shot a bunch of photos so you can have a walk through of what I saw including tons of Asians. Art Center is filled with Asian students and at a graduation exhibition, you see the families which mean Asians multiplied. Here’s my photo set from the evening.
