Giant Robot Documentary

 

VIDEO 

This is pretty cool. Giant Robot was one of those cool indy magazines exploring a side of Asian American life completely ignored in most other publications. I saw them sparsely as a young artist but hella appreciate the work the co-founders did to shine a light on AAPI creators and the many subcultures they are a part of. The Giant Robot store on Sawtelle in Japantown was one of the first shops to carry Furqan's First Flat Top in LA. What started as a zine became a movement.

Mini comic 2 - "Ride Again"

This is a new mini comic I debuted at the Toronto Comics & Arts Festival (TCAF) 2022 called "RIDE AGAIN". Get a copy here 

It's an embarrassing story about being bullied or getting jacked. I'm sure there are kids who were champion boxers at 9 years old. I was not. I'd been in 1 on 1 fights but not against 4 or 5 older kids. Anyways, the point of the story is to ride again and thats exactly what I did. Hopefully you can relate as a bike rider or as a kid growing up.
