Over the weekend at The LAB in Costa Mesa, artist Mike Giant had a book signing of his recently released book Giant - Eternal, at As Issued Bookstore. With over 680 images of Giant's illustration work you get to see some of the process of the artist's work through the years. Side note to LA TACO readers-- you will be seeing a lot more of Mike Giant as he has recently moved to Los Angeles, and so has the streetwear company that is inspired by his artwork, Rebel8. Check out their website (here) for more details.
