 Awesome: Art and Giant Robot</a></em>\,&nbsp\;&nbsp\;currently on exhibit 
 at the Oakland Museum of California. He has touched the lives of hundreds 
 of artists around the world\, several of whom credit him as being the sing
 le most significant force that impacted their careers.\n\n&nbsp\;\nIn 1994
 \, Nakamura created a "zine"- a self-published work\, put together in his 
 bedroom with scissors and glue\, then photocopied. He couldn't find a maga
 zine out there that fit his interests\, so he created his own and named it
 &nbsp\;<em>Giant Robot</em>. Rooted in punk and focusing on Asian pop cult
 ure and Asian American alternative culture\, this new magazine struck a ch
 ord and soon found an audience with young Asian Americans.\n\n"Some Asian 
 American magazines came and went\, and their problem was that they didn't 
 say anything\, and they tried to express words for everyone. If you're try
 ing to make something unique\, then it's best to stay with your tastes\, s
 ince ultimately\, that's what will make your product special." Twenty year
 s later\,&nbsp\;<em>Giant Robot</em>&nbsp\;has transitioned from a print m
