Giant Robot is proud to present Beasts!, a group show featuring artists from the worlds of comics, skate graphics, rock posters, children's books, and other commercial and gallery arts.

Since its publication in December 2006, Beasts Book 1 has become a pop culture sensation, quickly selling out two printings and finding an enthusiastic worldwide audience. A meticulously crafted object, the book combined colorful illustrations of mythical monsters with imaginative text describing the folkloric origins and characteristics of these creatures. To commemorate the publication of Beasts Book 2 and the simultaneous release of the paperback edition of Beasts Book 1, Fantagraphics Books art director Jacob Covey has pulled together artists from both volumes for an eclectic exhibition of original works and art prints.

More than 100 artists are scheduled to contribute, including the following:


Henny Acloque
Josh Agerstrand
Derek Albeck
Aeron Alfrey
Thomas Allen
Attaboy
Peter Bagge
R. Biesinger

Thanks to everyone who braved the cold and rain, it was a fantastic opening, with many claiming it was GRSF's best show ever. Definitely come down to see all of this, many prints are still available, but that could change by the end of today.
Slide show below, see you soon!

Thats prints by Tessler, LeDoux, Le Merde, and Boyles.
And this is only the tip of the iceberg that is our Printed Matter IV show, opening next Saturday, 12/13/08.
We have multiple copies, so you can come in and buy prints and walk out that day with them. Gotta hurry though cause once we get to the last copy on the wall, thats it.

Giant Robot is proud to present Our Finest Hour, an art show by Jen Corace.

Jen Corace is a graduate of the Rhode Island School of Design who lives and works in Providence. Corace's work, which typically features young females, a subtle color palette, and a timeless quality, celebrates not nostalgia but the youthful moment itself. Corace has shown in galleries around the world including Tokyo, Los Angeles, New York, Seattle, and Portland, and has also provided illustrations for The Portland Mercury, Chronicle Books, and other commercial clients. She is currently working on a new children's book.

Our Finest Hour will feature more than 50 4x6" framed portraits by the artist.

A reception for Corace will be held from 6:30-10:00 on Saturday, November 15. For more information about the artist, GRSF, or Giant Robot magazine, please contact:
