Giant Robot Store and GR2 News
Yes, on the tragic anniversary one decade ago, we’ve teamed up with Animal Services in West LA to help find homes for cats and kittens. It was a little over two years ago that I adopted a kitten. I’m a dog person, and realizing that it was impossible for me to care for a dog correctly, I decided to try out a cat. It sounds ominous to just try a live animal, but with the support around me, I was sure it would work. Soon, one became two. I can now say I’m both a dog and cat person and surely, my cats have a much greater life than before. This sunday, this is your chance, take in a cat! I adopted the one on the right.

Featured on Google as the unofficial Hayao Miyazaki fan club president?! Martin Hsu… the title, the man, the artist, our friend. No, he’s not really a president just yet, but this is great to see. His art is already something you should know about, but the rest? Google dug him out and pushed him forward. Now a bay area resident, Martin Hsu is no stranger to fun things. We caught up with him at the Little Tokyo Design Week capsule below, and witnessed him doing some crazy Step during the DJ set. He’ll be showing at GR2 quite soon, October!

One of the most consistent artists in the world is Deth P. Sun. He’s not a Steve Keene painting multiples of the same like a robot, he’s still working on individual pieces that make up a world that’s though provoking, cute, and sometimes mysterious. Why is that cat holding a knife? It echoes Yoshitomo Nara’s works that have young children doing the same. There’s ghosts, Death, and even scenery including the stars. The audience ranges from the first time art buyer to the collectors. We’ll be offering the works to the public online at 12 noon PST on tuesday Aug 30th. The link is here! We’ll post again when it’s live!
