Book 2 will have illustrations of mythological creatures that are claimed to have been spotted by one civilization or another over the years.

Kid Robot Pirate Store in Chicago



Kid Robot is opening a temporary shop in Wicker Park's Flat Iron Building on Saturday, October 4th, 2008. They'll be at 1573 N. Milwaukee Ave through December. Chicago's Rotofugi carries a lot of their toys and the Museum of Contemporary Art's gift shop showcases some of their clothing but it'll be nice to see what new things will pop up at the Chicago Kid Robot shop. They'll be having toy signings as well.

I liked this shirt I shot at their New York shop last year. Doughnut keychain t-shirt It was based on their Yummy Donut key chains that I got my little cousins hooked on.


Kid Robot also puts out numerous other dope toy lines like Frank Kozic's Smorkin' Labbits and their prolific Dunny series.
