At Planet Comicon this year, I had at least three people ask me if I had any Giant Robo art, which I unfortunately didn't have. Well, I do now! Admittedly, I'm not deeply familiar with the series beyond knowing it's a thing that exists, but from what little I've seen, I think he's pretty cool. Plus, having done Golden Bat, I liked the idea of delving into some more relatively obscure stuff.

I think my favorite detail is that big red triangle on the chest. It makes me think that it's an abstract image of a big, courageous heart. I don't know if that was the original idea, but it's a fun sentiment.

My childhood...

... was 90% wtf, but all awesome.

These two shows defined my childhood! I loved watching them with My Mom and my brothers! Kimba, Marine Boy, Speed Racer and especially Starblazers were popular with me too, but giant monsters have always ruled!

Whether you call him "Giant Robo" or "Johnny Sakko's giant robot," their is no doubt that this gigantic titan is a certified bad ass.

Johnny Sokko And His Flying Robot 1967 Episode 26 Series Finale Review

And To All A Good Night… Sayonara Giant Robo 1967!So this is the end of the series. By now you probably guessed how it ends. If you haven’t seen this before. Anyway yes… Self sacrifice is on the menu. So is footage recycling. Some monster footage from earlier in the series is reused to save on the last episode budget. And Commander Izuma? He is aok with all this recycling… Why. This starts off…

Deadline: December 4th, 2023 Payment: Contributors Copy Theme: War Poems about Emerging & Future Tech Middle West Press LLC, an independent micro-publisher of military-themed and -adjacent literary projects, has issued a call for human-generated poems engaging with  “Giant Robot” technology themes. This is a "speculative poetry" market. What is a "Giant Robot" theme? For this project, the term "Giant Robots" can include examples of technologies in timelines both real and imagined, and of any size or (even formless) form. Living Ships. Loitering Drones. Taxi-cab AI. Robot Tanks. Virtual Soldiers. Space Explorers. Mecha-suits. In short, any vessel for exploring themes of human-electro-mechanical-cyber interaction, connection, and competition. The working title of this project is Giant Robot Poems: Poetry About Mecha-Human Science, Culture & War. Editors of the project write: Our intent with this project is to have fun, but also to illuminate, interrogate, and challenge (via the still-human domain of poetry!!!) the ways people think about emerging and future technologies such as robots and drones, Artificial Intelligence (AI), cybernetic enhancements, etc. We are looking for terrain-shifting, mind's-eye-bending, firmament-rending expressions of new and future realities. Be provocative. Be poignant. Be human. Even if you write like a Giant Robot. Ideally, many of the works submitted will engage such questions as: How does technology potentially change human behavior / culture / society? How does technology potentially change human behavior ethics / values? How does technology potentially change the ways humans fight / love / think / feel? Many examples of "Giant Robot-ness" exist in today's news and culture. As a starting point or prompt, our editors offer a list of examples and inspirations. In creating and crafting their own, original concepts and works, poets might consider various modes of commenting, observing, or even inhabiting technologies, mythologies, or stories depicted in these and other venues: Giant Robots in Modern News & Modern War.

LIL GODZILLA I grew up watching Godzilla, Ultraman, and Johnny Sokko and his Flying Robot. I loved the practical effects and was mesmerized by the miniature models. They still hold up. #godzilla #gojira #kaiju #illustration #drawing #digitalart #nopalArt https://www.instagram.com/p/CoU87P8pEoK/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=
