Giant Robot Store and GR2 News
I put it all together and get them all up. James Kochalka’s interview with Martin as the host as part of his Little Paintings 3 art exhibition at GR2. He played music live, and that “concert” video that’s in four parts because it’s about 16 minutes total. Watch one, watch them all. He came all the way to LA from Burlington, Vermont! Here’s a link to his art! James explains what he’s painting, especially the new works that depicts the rich and wealthy people’s cats. The Dragon Puncher! I swear this guy should MC. This has a song that talks about underwear. Beyonce acapella.

We won this award. Who presented it? The US Local Business Association. Who are they? If you go to their site, all they want is for you to put in your code number to access your award plaque. There are some business tips, but I don’t know how legit they are. Do they even know what GR2 is? What’s with the China communist emblem? We’re not even a book store. I wonder how many people fall for this scam. If you see this in a shop window during the holidays, then hopefully you’ll get a laugh. They paid near $100 for the frame job.

They're both on it's way to the stores. Dan from kozyndan dropped off the Bunnyfish at the GR office - their labor of love, after learning about the ins and outs of manufacturing... It looks great and made by the hands of perhaps old ladies who crochet? Maybe not, it could be kids! King Ken was probably not made by too many hands, but I'll bet someone had to paint the teeth. Both sit in my...
