Giant Robot Store and GR2 News
Baseman is a joker. Wherever he is, he'll tell jokes. A lot of them. I met with MOCA folks, Gary Baseman, Tim Biskup, and Simone Legno in downtown this evening. The idea was to lay the groundwork for the panel and live painting evening of Pervasive Persuasion, an event in 2008. It's going to also feature Oguri, a butoh dancer. I think that threw everyone off into a what the fuck is going on again?...

The idea was to lay the groundwork for the panel and live painting evening of Pervasive Persuasion, an event in 2008. It’s going to also feature Oguri, a butoh dancer. I think that threw everyone off into a what the fuck is going on again? mode. Oguri is going to do a slow butoh move during the event. Strange for sure, and people are going to trip out hard. Butoh is a weird modern dance “thing.” Simone said the first thing he did when he landed in LA the first time from his native Italy was to go to Giant Robot. That’s quite an honor. Literally from LAX to GR. I responded with figuring out the trick the car game he had on his site from years ago that got me the first place spot that stood for ages. Tim and Gary get into lively art discussions. These two are like water and oil when it comes to art. “I disagree” is often said by Baseman. I learned a lot about these two, and a little tiny bit about the importance of art. Tim chows down on a shrimp udon. This shot catches him in mid-shrimp at East restaurant. Denise and Raul chill and listen to Gary go at it. Jokes and all.

Whoa weird, Militant Geek website features the Angry Robot in the City t shirt. Filled with vector art, it's something I did actually quickly. One day, I'd like to take a proper glass for illustration using Illustrator. I don't use a mouse, I don't know much except for a few tools, and that's how I go at it. It's minimal, but it's enough to get the job done. Sometimes, when you don't know what...
Whoa weird, Militant Geek website features the Angry Robot in the City t shirt. Filled with vector art, it’s something I did actually quickly.

It’s minimal, but it’s enough to get the job done. Sometimes, when you don’t know what you’re doing, stuff like this comes easy. It’s like how at 17, Jason Bateman won a celebrity car race. No worries about family, kids, or anything, he probably went as fast as he could around the corners, and floored it coming out of every turn. Has he won it since? I don’t think so. Also French Robot wars? No, that’s Tokyo Tower! Militant Geek.

Eric,
Hope you are having a Happy Holidays? I have been thinking about you lately and how you just can't afford to be involved in Yelp. I ask myself, how can he not afford to be working with Yelp. Your Los Angeles would be a huge magnet to people who are looking for you in the area. Plus, with over 300 people coming to your page every month to decide to spend money in...
