Giant Robot Store and GR2 News
I can’t get photos uploaded via blogger, since something is wrong, so if you want, just thumb through these and take a look. I met Nano the dude with the crutches while in Madrid, so it was good to see him again, but this time in LA. I guess on his first night he went ape shit, well and hurt himself. He’ll be in SF, and NY soon checking stuff out, so if you see him, tell him hello. The photos are from the Scion show last night.

Albert Reyes came over to pick up some magazines, but now that I started this sketchbook with the Jarvis drawings, I had Albert add his 2 cents.

Albert Reyes came over to pick up some magazines, but now that I started this sketchbook with the Jarvis drawings, I had Albert add his 2 cents.

I’m guessing it’s the Rockies or maybe it’s Grand Canyon area (does it snow there?). I can’t be sure.

If you read the GR 52 interview, you'll have read a bit about the fact that Albert Reyes paints homage to artists that he likes. Of course, he can't match wits with McGee, but his Neckface is decent. Some people give him shit for it, so he no longer puts them into his shows. He paints them just for his own walls since he can't afford the real versions.
