Giant Robot is back with another hearty issue of their favorite news. This time they take you into the humble origins of Parson's shining star "Jeffstaple" the man behind Staple Clothing, SF artist, Rachell Sumpter(on the cover), who's vast airy paintings coincedentally reflect the Sami people's everday Eskimo life, undercover boy bands who's main objective is to expose the darkside of the asian entertainment industry, an intimate interview with legendary tattoo artist, Ed Hardy, and an interview with the Phillipine's most outrageous modern artist, Louie Cordero who packs monsters, shit, brains, psycho imagery, and personal experiences into his paintings. This is all held together by more interesting travels and slices from the GR crew.
