Then I would be by the magazine racks thinking, “Thank god Giant Robot is still here, it’s the only cool Asian thing that actually lasts.” It really did give me great comfort to know it exists, especially during the times when it wasn’t cool to be Asian. As for the diversification of the business and the magazine, I think it is great and very smart. Any business is a risk...

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE – Group Art Show Opening Free Ice Cream Day, June 23, 2007 – July 18, 2007 Reception: Saturday, June 23, 6:30 pm – 10:00 pm Giant Robot Gallery 437 East 9th Street Between 1st Ave. & Ave. A, in the East Village New York, New York 10009 (212) 674-GRNY (4769) / grny.net Giant Robot is proud to present a group show featuring original art by indie-comics notables Jeffrey Brown, Allison Cole, R. Kikuo Johnson, Anders Nilsen, and Daria Tessler at GRNY. The rough and honest storytelling of Jeffrey Brown is akin to do-it-yourself zines and indie rock. The Chicago artist’s autobiographical tales brilliantly convey the awkwardness, hope, and bittersweet details of doomed romance. Allison Cole is a Providence-based illustrator, designer, and indie- and mini-comics artist who has contributed to anthologies such as Kramer’s Ergot and Blood Orange. Her storytelling is elegant and stylized yet raw and revealing. Born on Maui and schooled in Rhode Island, R. Kikuo Johnson has quickly gained a following with his rough, expressive brushwork depictions of the darker side of life on the Islands and beyond. The simple and stark yet complete illustration style of Anders Nilson perfectly depicts space and loneliness in works such as Big Questions and Dogs & Water. Recently, the Chicago artist mixed drawings with Polaroids in MOME. Daria Tessler is a Brooklyn-based illustrator and printmaker who beautifully conveys the geometry of nature and crafts with seemingly effortless linework. Among her canvases are T-shirts and stationery as well as shoes and CD covers. A reception for the artists will be held from 6:30 to 10:00 on Saturday, June 23.

This dude is amazing. I hope I’m not being bamboozled like I am with the rest of the web. Some things just can’t cross the line. This can’t be one of them. He’s like Latka on Taxi, completely turned around, innocent, and nice. His accent in Japanese is spot on, and his mannerisms, weird words, gestures, are all legit. Hope he finds his parents.
