Giant Robot Store and GR2 News
Post Office… Who works at a post office and can explain this to me. This is the back of a postcard. It looks nice. It has nice colors. It’s for the Susie Ghahremani upcoming show at Giant Robot 2 in LA. The address is on the bottom left corner, it looks good there. Right? It’s laid out in the colors of the card, brown and orange ish. It’s cute. The show is coming up, but today, a bunch of cards came back. The address is on the bottom, and that’s why it’s messed up. For some reason, because it’s on the bottom, the people or machines that be, think that it’s the address for the TO: even though there’s a sticker label on the right, that’s clearly the TO: spot. The From: could never be on the right side, right? So lesson learned, lay that address out on the upper left even if it doesn’t look as cool there. And even if you’re telling people to go to the address on the upper left corner of the card. You can’t tell them that your event is at an address that’s lower on the left side. What if you hand wrote a real postcard and put your return address up in the corner, but then was relaying a new address (cuz you’re moving) to the recipient on the bottom left? The card might come to your new address?

KAWS in the New York Times. Congrats on the gallery stuff, Mr Kaws! It was a matter of time, that the focus on products with the biggest companies, etc would give way to him being a gallery artist. He's had very few shows all over the world, and it's time for him to get his works out there. Unfortunately, a lot will go to straight to the "collectors" since his pricing will be what they should be....

Unfortunately, a lot will go to straight to the “collectors” since his pricing will be what they should be. That’s how it works, but at the same time, it may open the doors for more prints and work that’s affordable for everyone else. link.

After spotting this in the lounge, I can't say if I'm mad or glad. I like Ramen. But The Ramen Girl is the girl who bathed in ramen in a previous issue of GR more than a decade ago. The ramen girl is not caucasian and starred in Clueless. The ramen girl is Asian and did it all to win a contest and therefore became THE RAMEN GIRL. Nude in a bathtub of ramen vs a girl going to Japan, getting dissed,...

Nude in a bathtub of ramen vs a girl going to Japan, getting dissed, learning to make ramen from a master and being in a parade. I wonder what happens? This reeks like Karate Kid, Lost in Translation, and Tampopo. Next time, go to China. lounge link.
