Giant Robot Store and GR2 News
Yes, that’s quite a large painting behind Masakatsu Sashie. I haven’t seen a painting that large by a person at GR2 in a long time and it’s great to see this one. It’s an orb! It’s filled with his memories and nostalgia and it’s a separate world from the what’s surrounding it. The ball looks alive. This is a painted model kit of one of his works. It comes blank, so beware. Can you put it together and paint it? Will it be bling gold? I’ve heard some say that’s what they’re going to do.

Do not fuck with Sashie. He knows weapons. I hope this wasn't a secret, but it's out of the bag. 9mm, no problem. See the red in the target? I see perfect shots. Now that you know, you should come see his art show at GR2. Don't mess with my man. Guns aren't legal in Japan, so of course, this was something new for him. That's a lot of shells at his feet. He's an animal.

Christopher Murphy's paintings are pretty insane, look at the detail, the graf, the buildings. He's got the steady hand, the diligence, and more to make big works. I like that water tower on the right side. He also does rough drawings of people on the street. This dude is young, and I was joking around that from now until he dies, he'll use a wider and wider brush. The painting below is amazing as...
Christopher Murphy’s paintings are pretty insane, look at the detail, the graf, the buildings. He’s got the steady hand, the diligence, and more to make big works. I like that water tower on the right side. He also does rough drawings of people on the street. This dude is young, and I was joking around that from now until he dies, he’ll use a wider and wider brush. The painting below is amazing as well. Check him out at the Lora Schlesinger Gallery which was open as part of the Bergamont Station The outside looks like this. There’s tables with drinks and some snacks. The crowd is 35+. From wheat pasting to now in galleries with her art ranging from $800-$3000. David Choe and Becca had a short lived war on the streets. I think Dave won, but Becca held her own, and had the help of the locals in downtown. Gary Taxali is part of the Blab! show as is Andy Kehoe below. The photos I took aren’t the best, it’s all from my iPhone. The entire Bergamont Station “thing” is cool. It happens once a month, and attracts a big crowd. Parking is now tough there, so get there early. It’s free and great to see people having a blast checking out art.
