Robots and Animals

Robots and animals are two awesome things that should go together like peanut butter and honey. You don't normally hear about it in the mainstream, but you know it's good and you enjoy it at home or with friends.

I was part of a benefit show last weekend at GR2, which included some really amazing artists (including but not limited to, James Jean, Kozyndan, James Kochalka, Saelee Oh, Souther Salazaar, Luke Chueh, Deth P. Sun, Gary Baseman, Matt Furie, Aiyana Udesen, Rob Sato, Bryan Lee O'Malley, Hellen Jo, Ferris Plock, etc, etc I could go on but I'm getting dizzy from the awesome).

The sales go towards Giant Robot and all other GR related projects, and they need all the help that they can get. Myself and so many other artists owe so much to them for everything they've done for us over the years. Exposure, connections, new experiences, inspiration; I (we) love them so dearly and can't possibly bear to see another GR store close.

Here was my little contribution:

"Gallant" Linocut on Rives BFK, edition of 9!
