The U.S. Fund for UNICEF (USF) is raising funds to help children in Japan impacted by the March 11 earthquake and tsunami. This is an unusual decision, as Japan is a donor to UNICEF, not a recipient of its assistance. However, due to the unprecedented nature of the epic disaster and its impact on children, resources are going to be critical in helping provide for the very unique needs of children. These may include health, development, and protection and other needs that may have been compromised or disrupted in the wake of the catastrophe. Giant Robot is proud to join the effort, and have asked many of our talented friends to create water-themed art to raise funds to support the efforts of UNICEF.

In the studio

We have been working away on new paintings for upcoming shows in Australia with Outré Gallery. Waves and witches and wreckage and nudibranches and crab and naked people... we like to mix it up.

Our exhibition entitled "Washed Away" will come through all Outré Gallery's locations and we will be there for each opening. We'll have new paintings, drawings, and a new panoramic, and who knows what else!

Open dates:
Melbourne - Friday 29 April
Perth - Friday 6 May
Sydney - Friday 13 May

In 1994, Giant Robot was born with the purpose of documenting and promoting new, up-and-coming, underdog, overlooked, and hybrid Asian and Asian-American popular culture. Fifteen years later, the self-published magazine has not only evolved from a stapled-and-folded zine into a full-color, glossy publication with an international following, but also opened trend-setting shops and influential art galleries in Los Angeles, San Francisco, and New York City.

To celebrate the magazine's longevity, energy, and loyal readership, the second Giant Robot Biennale is being hosted by the Japanese American National Museum in Downtown Los Angeles from October 24, 2009 to January 24, 2010. The event will feature several exhibits, including the following: To provide a visual overview of the Giant Robot aesthetic, publisher Eric Nakamura is curating artwork by individuals who have contributed to shows at Giant Robot's galleries, been featured in the pages of the magazine, or even contributed cover art. The main hall will include installations by

Tripping Cat

I don't know what line of thinking led its creation (she certainly wasn't tripping at the time), but Kozy made me this cartoon last night.

She is genius.
