Giant Robot Drawing Club at GR2 in Los Angeles

I attended Giant Robot Drawing Club at GR2 (Giant Robot 2) in Los Angeles Saturday Night, 11.05.26.  I was real nervous and uncomfortable so my drawings were abominable, but it didn't matter -   Everyone there was welcoming and nice.

Artist Jeni Yang & Jeremy Azzari
Jeni Yang had her art showing there. Amazing stuff - really neat color palettes and really nicely crafted art.  I didn't see the price list, but art at Giant Robot is almost always surprisingly affordable for the quality you get.  Highly recommended for art collectors.

It was cool of Eric Nakamura to set up this event.  He's the co-mastermind behind the Giant Robot empire.You never know what to expect when you meet someone kinda famous, and he was exactly how you'd hope someone would be:  just real "down-to-Earth" and normal and friendly, etc.

Oh yeah, check out Jeni Yang's art website too. She was also super friendly. Jeni didn't have an "annoying artist personality" or anything like that.  And big thanks to Jeremy Azzari for joining the table I was at and making me feel like I had a pal there.
