Giant Robot Store and GR2 News
Just got a package from Kiyoshi, a.k.a. the self-publisher of Drunken Master zine and “Prize” comics, a.k.a. Razorcake's “Won Ton Not Now” illustrator, a.k.a. GR's old ad guy, a.k.a., the dude who used to beat me up every issue. He's also my pal, and he sent me his latest T-shirt.

This is the second time I’ve tried this and I actually used a 10 frame a second ratio which is a lot smoother than 5 or 6 which I did last time out. I used the Canon t2i, a tripod, and a little white softbox. The music is by Free the Robots and the song was the first one I tried out. It nearly fit right away.
