"My Christmas Morning” from Augor MSK

We don’t need many reasons to love Augor MSK of The Seventh Letter (Juxtapoz #78) any more than we already do, but when we got an email today from this seriously talented graffiti artist highlighting his Christmas morning last week, we were nothing short of amazed.

We’ll let Augor tell the whole story himself:

“On Christmas morning after opening gifts me and my youngin squad went to a local downtown dead rail yard to flick some stuff we did the night before,” Augor writes in his email.

"We ended up stumbling upon a homeless family, boy age 18 and mother, who drove a motor home from Oklahoma and tried to find shelter in hiding their motor home in the yard but got stuck on the train tracks. Out of the kindness of our hearts, we built a ramp on the tracks and drove it for them, with their dog riding passenger into a cut where they could rest safely...I came back and gave the kid gifts of shirts and ended up painting their van which was covered in horrible graffiti.”

Augor concludes, “Shows that we’re not just a buncha ego maniac, self-centered taggers.”

Giant Robot is proud to host a "Choegal" release party attended by artist David Choe.

Raised on comic books, affected by street art, and inspired by crime, women, and music, Choe has developed a unique and restless style that is effortless yet meticulous and focused yet dirty. Since the artist contributed his first illustration to Giant Robot magazine in 1997, he has exhibited in solo shows around the world (at all three Giant Robot galleries as well as in Paris, Tokyo, and London) and also been featured on VBS-TV's popular Thumbs Up! series. Choegal is his first wood figure: extremely detailed, totally hand painted, and featuring a head that rotates to expose three facial expressions. This piece is strictly limited to 1,000 pieces and $45.

From 6:00-8:00 on Tuesday, December 23, Choe will be on hand to sign Choegal figures, as well as the brand new issue of Giant Robot. In addition to writing his regular column, he provided cover art and design elements found throughout the magazine.
