Giant Robot Store and GR2 News
I dig this dude, Kio who runs a clothing like called Yellow Rat. He’s supposedly a great surfer, and back in 2007, I wrote about him with some photos on this blog when I visited his casa. Here’s that post. He once made a Kio’s Ding Repair shirt using a Barry McGee image. It’s looks like this here. Today, he showed me a new design. Here’s the backstory which makes this funny. Barry does strange ads sometimes. He pays for the ad, and actually advertises something that’s not his own. This advertisement showed up in the Hamburger Ears (their music offshoot of Hamburger Eyes) publication. Kio was shocked to see the ad, and now it’s a shirt complete with Kio’s home address at the bottom. I’m sure Barry had no idea that Kio works out of his home in Mar Vista. I hope people don’t knock on his door. That’s his assistant. Yes, I forgot her name.

I don't normally post pics of my underwear, but this one is special. Patagonia stores had a sale that just ended, and I picked up some underwear. The design of the pattern is by Geoff McFetridge. The material is silky poly material that look shiny like boxing shorts. Not many will ever see me wearing this.
These are brand new. I wouldn't show you a pic of worn underwear. These were $12 and came in...

The material is silky poly material that look shiny like boxing shorts. Not many will ever see me wearing this. These are brand new. I wouldn’t show you a pic of worn underwear. These were $12 and came in two colors. Some people want to wear clothes so people can marvel at it. I’m actually good wearing stuff, full knowing that only I will see it, maybe for all of 10 seconds. I sometimes wear my nicest t-shirts under a sweatshirt that never comes off all day. Who knows that I’m wearing something nice under a plain sweatshirt? Just me. I wear clothes mostly for myself. That’s how I do it.

While Dehara's work is on the walls at Giant Robot New York, I thought it would be cool to show you some goods he's made. Check out his work with Meiji chocolates in Japan. Click around and have fun with it. Would an American candy company ever do this? Here's a link.Dehara gave me a cellphone charm that they gave away at some convenience stores in Japan.

While Dehara’s work is on the walls at Giant Robot New York, I thought it would be cool to show you some goods he’s made. Check out his work with Meiji chocolates in Japan. Click around and have fun with it. Would an American candy company ever do this? Here’s a link. Dehara gave me a cellphone charm that they gave away at some convenience stores in Japan. The big companies are finally catching on. Check out the GRNY art exhibition goods too. link to the Giant Robt NY gallery. Then a confection company tapped Dehara to make a Tosa dog themed dorayaki. Tosa’s are fighting dogs, and Dehara’s Tosa actually bites the kid character! But it still works on this pastry. It’s from a lesser travelled region. Ishikawa maybe… I forgot what he told me, and you can get these only there. This tasted great. I gave most of mine away to people who helped out at Giant Robot NY for the show. David Horvath got a whole box!
