Giant Robot Store and GR2 News
That’s Susie Ghahremani, she goes back old school with Giant Robot. We’ve watched her in school, and she’s now out of school and kicking ass. She’s transforming the space unlike no other, except maybe Barry McGee did once upon a time. But this is a total different style and she’s being much more meticulous. Every detail is all planned out. She’s a hard worker and that’s something to appreciate. As an owner and gallery guy, I do. That’s one of the birds that are hanging from the ceiling. There’s going to be a lot. She’s painting each bird and branch by hand. No two are the same, and each are balanced so there’s not too many flying and pointing one way.

That's the shirt. Today was playoff game number 1. We won and beat the jock team who are usually dicks. Today, they were fairly quiet.

I think the Old English saves it from being pure douche baggery with that middle modern primitive design that you see on arms and t-shirts all over the place. But the Old English, fine, sort of gangster. Either way, we worked hard just to get these shirts. A trophy comes later, and we have more playoff games next week. This is the second shirt for Giant Robot. From 1-11 to 12-1 (so far). I’ll update you next week.

I usually don't care much about street art since it's always fleeting and it's more like a hobby for a week especially since the Banksy Effect has taken place with his book being sold at Urban Outfitters. We're all artists now right? 5 years ago, we were all DJ's. We all knew this was going to happen. Either way, here's two pieces that are interesting on Sawtelle. The flower looks great above. It...
I usually don’t care much about street art since it’s always fleeting and it’s more like a hobby for a week especially since the Banksy Effect has taken place with his book being sold at Urban Outfitters. We’re all artists now right? 5 years ago, we were all DJ’s. We all knew this was going to happen. Either way, here’s two pieces that are interesting on Sawtelle. The flower looks great above. It caught my eye. This one is interesting. I don’t know what it means, but it has one of those expensive street art looks again thanks to Sir Banksy.
