Giant Robot Store and GR2 News
Hope the Rat year is filled with lots of cheese for everybody. Spent the Chinese New Year in Beijing hanging out with Cousin Martin and some old friends. On New Year’s eve, we went out to a friends house in the out skirts of Beijing, very close to where I shot The Banquet. We went out on the frozen river to shoot off fireworks.

ShenZhen Special is the term I use for things that I see out there that rip off the original. ShenZhen being that booming city across the border where you can get fake anything. From Nike Pigeon Dunks to some blingass Rolexes, LV basketballs and toilet paper holders, you name it they got it. Above is the famous Wiggle chair by one of my favorite architects Frank Gehry. Designed in 1969 and now produced by the company Vittra, it is made entirely of cardboard. It is not only beautiful but comfortable as well. Many say the surface of the cardboard edges feel like suede.This is it’s ShenZhen special.
