Created in 1994 as a photocopied zine, Giant Robot has since grown into a full color, bi-monthly magazine about Asian popular culture covering topics such as cinema, art, vinyl toys, and interesting elements of popular culture appealing to almost everyone. Giant Robot has since opened “Giant Robot” retail stores in Los Angeles, San Francisco, and New York City offering nicely designed merchandise from around the world. Giant Robot also curates art exhibitions at each of their spaces and also curates in outside galleries and museums along with other projects.

I couldn’t believe this video. It’s as funny as can be. Video director and GR contributor Aaron Stewart turned me on to this, and evidently this is being passed around between music video directors. It’s ridiculous.
Some key moments.

Giant Robot 60 podcast! This must be getting boring. But the 15th year is still the year. 60 issues… here’s the podcast… It’ll show up on iTunes in a day or so.
What the heck? A Hotwheel on HB? Yes. This one is special. In the late 60s, Datsun made one of the coolest cars ever. A Datsun 510. Based somewhat on the BMW 2002. A solid car that’s hard to find these days, but if you find one that’s for sale and in great shape, drop me a line. It’s my dream vintage car. Most people want an Impala, a Lincoln with suicide doors, but me, it’s this car, stock. This isn’t the easiest Hotwheel to find, and David Horvath from Uglydolls gave this to me today. Of course, he got himself one too.
15 years later, this is issue 60. I’m really not sure if any of you HB readers check out Giant Robot. I’ve heard, it’s for kids. No friends, it’s hardly the case, but think what you want.
GR is a magazine created in 1994, and it’s still edited by the same editors. It’s still indie operated. To be honest, you won’t see many magazines like that in the world. Each of those mags that you may buy is most likely not indie owned, not the same editors, and not the vision it was set out to be. Either way, print’s been hit hard, but we’re still around. Hope you check us out sometimes.
I met Jack Long in an odd way. I was eating at Julian’s, a restaurant in Rhode Island. I kept looking at the walls because of art on the walls. It turns out that the art was by Jack Long, a recent graduate of RISD. Looking at the art, you can’t tell how old he is, he could have been an older man. We’ve shown him a bunch of times, and I’m glad to say, here’s his next, Singing Herself to Sleep, and it’s in our GRNY space. Here’s a link to a Village Voice article.

This piece is pretty amazing. His work has come along since the days of RISD and showing in cafes.
