Beasts!
Reception: Saturday, January 17, 6:30 pm-10:00 pm 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 Mark Bodnar S.britt Matt Burlingame Scott Campbell Lilli Carre Brian Chippendale Josh Cochran Kevin Cornell Jacob Covey Jordan Crane Eleanor Davis Ray Fenwick P-Jay Fidler Cassandra Ford AJ Fosik Nathan Fox Noel Freibert Renee French Charles Glaubitz Leif Goldberg Kaela Graham Adam Grano Keith W.
