Giant Robot Store and GR2 News
Yesterday we released a lot of information of events happening in LA. Laura Ling and Lisa Ling signing. I think it might be their only one, and the book is a good read. It's in a way, an adventure, true crime, political, and at the same time, family. Laura will also be in GR66. Don't miss this signing in LA on the 17th. 5-7pm. But almost a week from now is the SALE! Sat and Sun. Take 20% off, NOT ART and have fun checking out the latest toys, t shirts, comics and more. Then at the same time, it's BUFF Monster's custom painted show. Imagine, 50 or so artists contributing their custom take on Buff Monsters figure. They really look amazing. So that's actually a lot of info for just LA and these are all pretty strong events. If these don't bring you out, then I'm stumped.

Some of the folks, there were 6 including me, have done an arm length of seriously great things. Seriously. Then it comes to me. I'll still have to say thanks to them for the award. One day the suit will fit, but not quite yet.

I don't get into the body painting scene, especially when it's clothed! However, I was one of the dudes taking photos so I'm guilty! I was actually at this event since 1) Giant Robot sponsored it, but 2) it was actually a panel discussion featuring new media and artists. I'll jump straight into the panel portion since it actually turned out really well.
