Steve dropping by the studio to pick up my SW toys. They'll be used in an upcoming Playstation commercial. Neat! @ranchoobiwan #starwars #sony #playstation #starwarstoys
Auroch: "Hey Rob, what's goin' on?" Me: "Just getting ready to head down to San Diego for a few days." Auroch: "What's in San Diego?" Me: "I have a booth at Comic-Con." Auroch: "Why do you have a booth at Comic-Con? You're not funny." Me: "It's not really for comedians. It's a place for artists and creatives to meet each other and meet some of their fans." Auroch: "You don't have any fans." Me: "I think I have a few." Auroch: "Doubtful. So are you gonna take this huge blue painting?" Me: "No. It's not even close to being finished." Auroch: "Good. You know it's really hot in your studio." Me: "I think it's pretty comfortable…" Auroch: "No, it's boiling. It's probably because you don't have a single fan." Me: "Auroch...you're the worst."
Thylo: Hey, buddy. Everything okay? Me: I'm just a little upset by some ugly things I heard somebody say about my work. Thylo: Well, fuck 'em. Me: I know, but it hurt my feelings. Thylo: Your feelings?! Bahahaha. You are such a self-centered little baby. Me: Shut up, Thylo. Thylo: Robert, do you have any idea what's going on in Sudan right now? Or the Ukraine? Or what it's like to live in North Korea? Me: No. No, I don't. Thylo: Do you have any idea how many millions of people go to bed hungry every night? Me: Thylo, stop! I get your point. Thylo: Okay, good. Robert, there are obnoxiously opinionated and mean-spirited people everywhere. They're not your concern. And besides, can you honestly say that YOU'VE always been the nicest guy in the world? Me: I know, but - Thylo: But nothing! Just stay positive, put one foot in front of the other, and finish your Star Wars painting!! Me: I'm trying. You wanna stay and hang out for a bit? Thylo: No.
