Giant Robot Store and GR2 News
Favre lost today, but had a stunning year. I’m assuming he’s going to be back to do the Green Bay thing one more time. How did he just come back from being so bad? Anyway, that’s Albert Reyes in the photo. He might not be Favre with the football, but he routed for Favre, since he’s the last of the old schoolers still in the game. He doesn’t like Tom Brady, since he said that when Brady was in high school, he’d get mad at a teammate and drill them in the head with the football. Since Eli Manning’s team, the Giants beat Favre’s Green Bay and will now face Tom Brady, maybe Eli will serve up revenge for his older brother Peyton who lost in the first round of the playoffs… That’s what Albert said anyway.

Giant Robot is proud to host Incidental Nature, a group art show featuring kozyndan, Heisuke Kitazawa, and Robert Bellm at GR2. Since making their debut in Giant Robot magazine, kozyndan (aka Kazue and Dan Kitchens) and their mix of precision European illustration in the style of Moebius and anime-influenced Superflat art from Japan, filtered through Southern California sunshine, has amassed a loyal following of fans and collectors. This show will be the last of kozyndan’s wooden bunnyfish installations, which have appeared in Toronto, Melbourne, Sydney, and Auckland. Heisuke Kitazawa is a Japan-based illustrator and designer whose work graces video games, CD covers, and limited-edition self-published books. Robots and monsters, technology and biology, and blobs and angles collide, as his futuristic themes, modernist curves, and warm color palette create a glimpse into a world that combines hyper detailed science fiction with the cheerful whimsy of children’s books. His 12 digital and acrylic pieces will feature “ghosts, ducks, and emptiness.” Robert Bellm is a Seattle-based artist who paints vibrant images from nature, such as flowers and birds, along with the occasional electrical tower. He calls the mix of natural shapes with manmade forms “organic technology.†The Art Center graduate’s bold and matter-of-factly executed combination is startling yet natural to most eyes–thought provoking yet pleasing. For this show, he is preparing 20 acrylic paintings on wood panels. A reception for kozyndan, Kitazawa, and Bellm will take place from 6:30 – 10:00 on Saturday, January 19th.

Went smooth and late as usual but look at the pics, this show's going to be great. I wish PCP could come, but he's a new dad and is doing the late night shift in Japan. That's a Robert Bellm piece above. It's a nice one. The ones below are smaller and great. That ones that's minimal? You saw it here first and it's maybe the last time you'll see it. It's not done. The show is tonite. Come on down,...

Whoa, Supertouch, where I'm going to do some blogging at in the future posted a lot of photos from the event. I think they were from flickr, so they included some of Michelle Matthews, mine, Baseman's and more. The very first photo by Baseman is great. And BUTOH is spelled wrong there. Bhuto is closer in spelling to the Pakistani leader, Benazair Butto, who was assassinated. Yeah I signed an...
