Giant Robot Store and GR2 News
Giant Robot 2 Opening saturday night. It’s getting nuts in LA, tons of art show openings all over the place. You name it, there’s probably an art show there. People are having art shows in spots where there’s no space for an art show. It’s just getting nuts. What can we do, but hopefully provide a decent space for a person? Maybe our reputation complete with a magazine, and being one of the first helps us a lot. Maybe not. Either way, having a great friend Souther Salazar show is an honor. I’m proud of him all around. Above, that’s Souther with Christian Clayton, the other half of the Clayton Bros. They’re rad. I posted some pics and more comments, etc. at Hypebeast. See all my pics at Giant Robot Transmissions Dan and Kozy have a Janette Sandwich. The sawhorses is now a rollercoaster. I knew these sawhorses would be useful. You should get some. They’re called Burro brand. Wake up Souther! Whoa, Mr Canseco and Nelson stop by. I’m glad these dudes can stop by and check out the art show. gr/eats in the house. Nelson sports a Fila jacket and a New Era LA cap. Mr Canseco, classic GR cap. Souther’s fan range, these folks bought a piece from him a while ago. They were on the fence for this show. Yes, you do need living room space to make it happen. Pikapika! Yes, they didn’t paint with light, but it’s cool they came though.

Doctor (DRx) to most of you. This man does a lot. From client work to his own work, the stuff you see or don't see spans all over the world. His dog, the one pictures hates people who wear black sneakers. Guess what color mine were. They are beat up, and he did take a weird look at them, and kept his nose close to them. Look at his eyes in the pic, I know the dog likes me, but he's weary of my...
Doctor (DRx) to most of you. This man does a lot. From client work to his own work, the stuff you see or don’t see spans all over the world. His dog, the one pictures hates people who wear black sneakers. Guess what color mine were. They are beat up, and he did take a weird look at them, and kept his nose close to them. Look at his eyes in the pic, I know the dog likes me, but he’s weary of my shoes. Back to DRx, his jackets are nuts, patch worked together into a single product. Track jackets, leather, military, and more. It’s true artistry. He also does stuff like this. Bugs with the DRx scissors? How does he get these hegemonic companies like WB and Disney to do projects like this? That’s not really the point, the point is he does them.

This sailed from halfway around the world. I expected cardboard boxes, but instead, it came packed up in a wood crate, and weighing a ton. Using a Makita, I unscrewed nearly 20 screws just to take the top off of it. Inside it protected a delicate book by Clare Rojas. A children's book, it's not thick, but it contains a story with Clare's art work next to it. It's a higher end publication, that's...
This sailed from halfway around the world. I expected cardboard boxes, but instead, it came packed up in a wood crate, and weighing a ton. Using a Makita, I unscrewed nearly 20 screws just to take the top off of it. Inside it protected a delicate book by Clare Rojas. A children’s book, it’s not thick, but it contains a story with Clare’s art work next to it. It’s a higher end publication, that’s rich and awesome. I’m glad we get to distribute it to the finer stores everywhere. When I saw that box, I thought, “damn, Japan packaging.” But I guess they do it in some places in Europe too. It’s a small treasure.
