Giant Robot Store and GR2 News
We’re more than halfway on our journey. Little by little, we’ll be adding some other PSA’s like the one by David Horvath up now. It’s amazing how old friends, people who’ve never read us, and more are coming to the cause. We’re also doing the GR videocasts, and you’ll hopefully be seeing many more changes. New website too, but that’s taking longer since we want to do it right. It would be easy to make the typical blog post site, but at that rate, then just subscribe to our blogs and you have it – just without the window dressing, which if you’re fooled by that, then that’s too bad. The best sites out there have very little window dressing and tons of content. That’s what we strive for with each issue of the mag. The site shouldn’t be much different. See the Horvath PSA——-

Fried and fried. Fish and Chips gr/eats. Beer battered cod, so it’s actually light and crisp. The malt vinegar is a nice touch, and I ate this entirely with my hands. We’ve been running this special lately and it’s been quite fun to have. I can’t eat this one too often, but it’s good and filling. Anne Matsushima and Alex Chiu doing the gr/eats. They do a bunch of indie projects, zines, art, and are making a collective of artist on the westside of LA. Motivated! They also dig doughnuts. It’s that season. Cherry Blossoms on Sawtelle. It’s awesome how pink they are. I’d get out to the street this weekend to check on them. A ton of images of Patchwork show at gr2. Tons of great art by great folks. ——-

Crying crying. Babies crying. Wah wah wah… “I’m so hurt! Carry me. I’m not getting what I want! Where’s my toys. I’m so tired. I want what that guy has in his hand, even though I don’t know what it is. I just took a crap and it’s running down my leg! Where’s my mom? I’m hungry, where’s my candy? I’m special though cuz I eat veggies! Who are you taking my photo?” “Ok, mother fucker. That’s enough! I’ll remember you when I get big. I’ll crush your skull, while you fart dust.” ——-

So this is all I can show of the car right now. It’s the custom Scion art car. I won’t get into the concept, so you’ll have to wait on that one, but this is the Giant Robot car that I designed. In the end, I’d say to concept is tight, and it’s not just a Pimp My Ride car, there’s a meaning and backbone to this. You’ll see when it’s done. I’m proud of it and it’s still a work in progress. Here’s the fruit part. I show up to the shop, and there’s fruit. People are so obsessed with truck food. This too is a truck. Is it any less valid? That’s Len holding a coconut. Drink the juice, then they’ll cut up the fruit… I prefer a coconut bra, but oh well. It’s on like Donkey Kong! ——-
