Water Works fundraiser for japan by Giant Robot

Water Works
Fundraiser for the Devastation in Japan
March 19 - April 13

Reception: This Saturday, March 19th, 6:30-10pm

 

The U.S. Fund for UNICEF (USF) is raising funds to help children in Japan impacted by the March 11th earthquake and tsunami. This is an unusual decision, as Japan is a donor to UNICEF, not a recipient of its assistance. However, due to the unprecedented nature of the epic disaster and its impact on children, resources are going to be critical in helping provide for the very unique needs of children. These may include health, development, and protection and other needs that may have been compromised or disrupted in the wake of the catastrophe. We're proud to join the effort, and have asked many of our talented friends to create water-themed art to raise funds to support the efforts of UNICEF.

Giant Robot will also be donating the following to UNICEF:
1. Proceeds from the sale of water bottles featuring labels created by artists and signed by celebrities.
2. Fifty percent of proceeds from Giant Robot’s small restaurant, gr/eats, on Saturday, March 19.
3. A percentage of all sales at Giant Robot, GR2, and GRSF during the weekend of March 18-20.
4. Raffles for donated merchandise including designer- and artist-signed items, GR gear, and more.
5. Cash donations accepted for UNICEF.

This event is made possible by the generous help of Intertrend Communications, the most innovative, digitally savvy Asian marketing agency in the country. In addition, Intertrend has pledged to match the first $10,000 raised by proceeds and donations through Giant Robot!

Noface meets the Umibozu

Noface is a character I'm fond of from spirited away. He is an odd spirit. (カオナシ Kaonashi?, lit. "faceless"), an odd spirit who takes an interest in Chihiro. Seeing No-Face standing outside in the rain, Chihiro takes pity on the creature and lets him into the bathhouse to take shelter from the storm. At first, he appears to be a strange, demure, cloaked, masked wraith who seems mute other than his breathing and urging grunts. Seen as polite, calm, and quiet at first, No-Face is a lonely being who seems to sustain itself on the emotions of those he encounters, particularly their emotional reception to his gifts.

umibozu~ japanese sea monsters.

Yokai Hone-onna ::supernatural or unaccountable phenomena"

Hone-onna (骨女?, literally: skeleton woman) is a yōkai of Japanese folklore. Like her name suggests, her true form is that of a skeletal woman. In the guise of a beautiful woman, she lures unwitting men while she sucks the life force of her targets dry.

4 eyed Oni girl samurai :: supernatural or unaccountable phenomena"

Oni
One of the most well-known aspects of Japanese folklore is the oni, which is a sort of mountain-dwelling ogre, usually depicted with red, blue, brown or black skin, two horns on its head, a wide mouth filled with fangs, and wearing nothing but a tigerskin loincloth. It often carries an iron club or a giant sword. Oni are mostly depicted as evil, but can occasionally be the embodiment of an ambivalent natural force. They are, like many obake, associated with the direction northeast.

Forrest Spirit :: supernatural or unaccountable phenomena"
