Post It 4. It's one of the most fun shows we do. Imagine seeing 1586 Post Its on the wall, and being able to choose one, two, or even ten. Some are a financial steal and some are a steal just because they're ones you really like. Who gets what, is almost a psychological battle. The thing that's great is that tons of people came, waited, and although some complained, most of the people were...
Post It 4. It’s one of the most fun shows we do. Imagine seeing 1586 Post Its on the wall, and being able to choose one, two, or even ten. Some are a financial steal and some are a steal just because they’re ones you really like. Who gets what, is almost a psychological battle. The thing that’s great is that tons of people came, waited, and although some complained, most of the people were patient. If you were patient, you would have scored big, there are amazing pieces in this show for $20 each. I can’t think of a better deal anywhere. (the photo above isn’t even the crowded time) This is what it looked like all night. We stayed after the bell. I think it was 10:30 and we were still selling Post Its. I’ve heard, “you should have more than one person selling them.” Imagine at opening. Person number 1 in line gets his or her choices. Then Person number 2 has his or her choices at the same time since, if more than one person is selling them. Who gets what first? How many fights will there be? What actually slows things down are the breach of rules, indecisiveness, and so forth. It’s a tough job no matter what you think of how we do it. James Jean and Gary Baseman. JJ wasn’t in the show, Baseman was and even his Post Its lasted until at least 9pm. He flew in from Miami and came straight over. Seth Drenner and Mark Todd share a moment of cheer right as the show opened. The man the myth. Yes, I forgot his name, but he drove from far, just to get some Post Its as a surprise birthday gift from his brother in law. First time, and hopefully a long time (customer). That grin makes me think that he’s going to keep them for himself.

Post It 4 at Giant Robot 2. The install usually takes hours, but tonite it took a large crew 3 hours. People came in and got everything up pretty quickly. The fourth time around, the show has gotten easier and easier. Imagine, in the beginning we had to package each one that was sold. Imagine sorting out nearly 1600 Post Its... It takes a month.

Post It 4 at Giant Robot 2. The install usually takes hours, but tonite it took a large crew 3 hours. People came in and got everything up pretty quickly. The fourth time around, the show has gotten easier and easier. Imagine, in the beginning we had to package each one that was sold. Imagine sorting out nearly 1600 Post Its… It takes a month. Now, the job is easier and has become nearly a science. It’s cash and carry, but we don’t want you touching anything. The sign up is at 6pm. Art begins selling at 6:30. If you’re number 20 in line, it could take nearly an hour of wait depending on how quick the 19 in front of you choose. Relax and shop at Giant Robot 1. We’ll love you for it. Every year, we say the show is better than the year before. This year, we’ll have to say the same. Each artist submitted great work. It’s amazing how there’s some art by people who none of us know. How?! What the heck? Well, it’s great they sent donated submissions. We’ll put the money to good use. So much great help. “aw, this is a nice one!”

Deth P Sun work is looking good online and in the shop. The piece above is awesome, and glows in the dark! The below is the big collection of 5x5s. This looks awesome in person. I say one day he does an entire wall.
