Giant Robot Store and GR2 News
Whoa, kozyndan at Puma. Nice displays, nice gear, shirts, shoes, and more. I like how the folks there know who they are, just a bit, but are still finding out more. What a great gig for a great pair of artists. I suppose the artists doing products continues. I do like how the below image actually looks like you’re looking out of a window onto a street in London rather than you looking into a Puma store. I’m proud of kozyndan. From the early days of them coming to Giant Robot 1 as college students to giving them a show at GR1 (before GR2) then having them all over the place in assorted shows, and more, it’s been a fun ride and it keeps on going. That’s Dan looking for a baguette.

When you get discount cherries at $1/lb, you have to expect some weirdness. Here are some examples. Extra growths aren’t pretty, they don’t taste good either, but the part that’s full formed next to the deformed parts are pretty good. Fruit seconds work for me at 1/3 the price and since I’m an addict to cherries, I can eat pounds in a sitting.

That’s Saelee, she’s hardly a dog and no, I couldn’t adopt her, although I tried. Perfect teeth without a doubt, good skin tone, nice personality… I’m actually talking about Kika, my cat. The Mushroom Tree. I swear I had a dream that I saw three mushroom clouds (atomic bomb) that night. Mr Joe Hahn… someone needs to put this guy in a movie.

Laika. The best dog ever. Sadly, the dog died in space. Actually, though I’ve now heard that the dog never made it alive into space and died along the way from shock. Either way, the Russian space dogs were heroic, but at the same time, treated like shit. This can’t happen today. If it did, Michael Vick would still be in the NFL with a big grin. This exhibition of paintings is at the Museum of Jurassic technology in Culver City. Neat furniture that’s there just to be there. The 3d section. I don’t know about these… but I like how the photo came out. The exhibit is actually really cool, and I like the fact that the sound that comes out is of field recordings of the location. (perhaps).

We did a talk today at UCLA for a print studies class. It’s a seminar type of class and it seems like a lot of fun. Their assignment was to interview us, and each person in the class has to do this. Some asked little questions, some went for it and did more. We gave a presentation, and then it was open season for questions that lasted over an hour. They just kept coming and were relentless with them but it was fun. I hope to see some of the results. Joyce Lee one of our readers is teaching this class and she handles the students like she handles her everyday life as far as I can tell.
