I decided to go to GRNY (Giant Robot NY) tonight to the opening of a group show called “Smitten”.  I spoke to a couple of artists, including the one I liked the most, Jack Long.  Here’s some pictures I took at the opening.  I was not familar with Giant Robot, but when I got to the shop, I ended up buying a hooded sweat shirt of the latest style.

Inside of the GRNY Gallery - it’s small and narrow - found some interesting art there tonight.

Jack Long Painting - I liked his work.

I don’t know who did this drawing but - looked interesting so I took a picture of it - it’s clearly Jolie and child.

Don’t know who did this Tribble Garbage Can art - but it was worth taking a picture. At first I thought the Tribbles were for sale - then I realized I should not touch the art.

And here’s me, just before getting a haircut.  As soon as I walked out of GRNY I got a haircut next door, then went back in again.  I’m wondering if the cute lady who hosted the show got confused because my hair was different.

I can’t say a whole lot about the GRNY show, it was OK, gave me an excuse to roam the East Village tonight, have a bite at Dojo’s (a resturant I used to eat at a lot when I lived in the East Village many years ago) and also go into PS 132 and see the last night of Project Iris Havana in NYC - a group exhibition of photographs of Cuba.  It was nice, there was a musician playing and plenty of wine and rum.

I finished up the evening by passing by Fobbidden Planet, a store that has a lot of comic book art and looking for illustrations of people I have come to learn about recently.  Saw what I needed to see, then spent a while reading Dr. Strange, Volume I - from Marvel Comics  - the old Steve Ditko issues - that was great.  And then I went home.
