Giant Robot Store and GR2 News
Button collection. I guess I have a lot. Like a t-shirt a lot of them tell a story of some sort. Where they came from, bands, clothing brands, events, and so on. I can’t say I’ve kept every button I ever received, but I do have most of them. Some are affixed to a backpack or hoody, so they’re not here. There are nice books about buttons as well. It’s just another collectible that’s been put into hardcover. Jawbreaker, Eastern Youth, Melt Banana, Sleater Kinney, Asobi Seksu, and more. Damn the Past! is a reference to a film that showed at the SFIAAFF. Tokidoki, Devil Robots, Rodney Greenblat, Super 7… 326, Murakami, Groovisions, Chiho, Nara, and to the right, the great times of Justin Lin’s Better Luck Tomorrow, when everyone was trying to get one of each person. If you put the last and this photo together, I’m proud to say, I have them all.

Strange to see this video and a Giant Robot 36 with Ryan McGinness's art on the cover displayed for a while in this record shop.

I'll guess it's made by fans, and they put a lot of effort into making something that's...

I’ll guess it’s made by fans, and they put a lot of effort into making something that’s actually really good. Our mag is in it for a bunch of seconds, and it’s proof that we’re international, even in record stores. Thanks Anthony Lew for the heads up.

The Sculpey Kids are back. Working with Mr Salazar who's seated below, we were up to making critters, creatures, gangs, noses, snakes, dogs, mushrooms, and even faux fingers. It's been hot in LA, and getting to Souther's studio with the AC on was relaxing. It's odd how Sculpey body parts are so strange. It's also odd that Sculpey is spelled "Sculey" on the box and it hasn't been fixed.
