Self portrait. I always finding myself playing with the old slow shutter speed trick. I’m always surprised by what I get and it makes me feel like an artist for a split second. I guess I’m easily amused. Time Warp!!!! Don’t ask. I’m not sure what this place is and what goes on here but I was walking around Nishiazabu the other night and saw this sign. I should’ve went and checked it out but I was scared. Happy Birthday Antonio! He’s been my PA for 7 years. That’s a long time to tolerate my ass. He’s spent the past four birthdays on the road with me. I hope I’ve been a good boss. Don”t get too comfortable though, wait till I kick you down the stairs like Naomi Cambell.

Pretty neat concept. It's supposed to be like the iplane or iairline. Things are white plastic cased everywhere. The check in place has a flat screen set up that works easily. Even the table has the white plastic acrylic vibe going on. Molded plastic is the way to go. Seems simple, right?
That's the gate. It's a nice white table, rounded corners like your ipod or imac, behind the counters, same...
Pretty neat concept. It’s supposed to be like the iplane or iairline. Things are white plastic cased everywhere. The check in place has a flat screen set up that works easily. Even the table has the white plastic acrylic vibe going on. Molded plastic is the way to go. Seems simple, right? That’s the gate. It’s a nice white table, rounded corners like your ipod or imac, behind the counters, same thing. The check in area has only two monitors. Super simple and sleek. The seat looks like a goofy pod. Yeah, the entire system was down, and that’s bound to happen. They blew it and they knew it. The only way to fly… I think. We’ll see next time.

[nggallery id=92] FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE – Art show opening Jill Bliss and Saelee Oh at GR2 December 8 – January 9 Reception: Saturday, December 8, 6:30 -10:00 GR2 2062 Sawtelle Blvd. Los Angeles, CA 90025 gr2.net (310) 445-9276 Giant Robot is proud to present Hidden Habitats, an art show featuring the work of Jill Bliss and Salee Oh. Jill Bliss grew up on a family farm in Northern California where everything was hand-built or cultivated-the food, the house, the farm machinery, and even the family computers. Since graduating from the Parsons School of Design the California College of the Arts, her professional background has included fashion design, illustration, and design theory. Whether designing limited-edition paper goods or fine art pieces, all of her work reveals a fondness for combining fabric, paper, and other found materials. Since graduating from Art Center in 2003, Saelee Oh has manifested her modern take on storybooks and traditional women’s crafts through painting, illustration, and paper cutting. Weaving a compelling mix of fantasy, femininity, and whimsy, her work has earned support from the indie art world as well as mainstream publications such as Time Magazine and American Illustration. For this show, the artists will make individual and collaborative drawings, paper cut-outs, sewn soft sculptures, and other pieces that expand on the theme of their third collaborative calendar, Hidden Habitats. The artwork depicts houses, shelters, buildings, and dwellings incorporating and blending into nature. These dwellings are sometimes human-sized, but more often than not sized for real and imagined animals, reptiles, or bugs. In this body of work, both artists explore the underlying structures of nature, the inherent beauty and interdependence of these structures, and human nature’s interpretation of and dependence upon them. The original drawings, many of which have been altered or expanded upon since the making of the calendar, will also provide insight into the artists’ digital and hand-drawn collaborative process. A reception for Bliss and Oh will take place from 6:30 – 10:00 on Saturday, December 8.
