Giant Robot Store and GR2 News
Jack Long changed his color schemes and if anything, the work has more detail than ever. There's a range of sizes, and the show overall looks great. Jack's friend asked me from where I met Jack. I told the story. I was eating at Julian's in Providence. It's a great spot, if you ever get a chance. Jack's art was hanging on the wall. It was his first show, and he was just finishing school at RISD....
Jack Long changed his color schemes and if anything, the work has more detail than ever. There’s a range of sizes, and the show overall looks great. Jack’s friend asked me from where I met Jack. I told the story. I was eating at Julian’s in Providence. It’s a great spot, if you ever get a chance. Jack’s art was hanging on the wall.

That’s a shadow around his neck, not sweat, but I’m sure he works that hard when he paints.

This is my favorite pic of David Choe and Harry Kim. Harry is often referred to as David's sidekick, and in many ways, maybe he is. For nearly the last decade, where David's been, Harry's been right there behind him - with a video camera. This picture was from London, on our way to the Tate Modern. Look at the image... Harry's hands out explaining something, perhaps that he did wrong and David...
This is my favorite pic of David Choe and Harry Kim. Harry is often referred to as David’s sidekick, and in many ways, maybe he is. For nearly the last decade, where David’s been, Harry’s been right there behind him – with a video camera. This picture was from London, on our way to the Tate Modern. Look at the image… Harry’s hands out explaining something, perhaps that he did wrong and David looking like Sid Vicious. The film was done shooting at this point, and it’s now show time – saturday June 21, 2008. Dirty Hands website. I’m proud to say we’re sponsoring the film screening along with Upper Playground and RVCA. We’ve been there from day one of David Choe’s career and it’s great to see it keep rolling along. That’s Steve Lazarides and David Choe A still from Dirty Hands. That’s Dave and his brother Paul in NYC.

I get a call inviting me to Takashi Murakami's unveiling of his new line of Louis Vuitton bags, Monogramouflage. It's made appearances at the Brooklyn Museum, and yesterday June 16th, it made a one day appearance at the Louis Vuitton in the Wynn Hotel. A line formed outside, of course, they were checking credentials, and at the same, I saw a Wynn K-9 unit probably there to sniff out bombs. It was...
