The robot art is tarting to stack up around here. I picked up some of my finished ceramic robot heads from school the other day and I realized that I have got to find a gallery next year. The image above represents only about a quarter of the robot related artwork I have created in …
Well, my robot a day challenge has ended and now I have a handful of sketches to draw from in the future. One of those ideas has become a new design for a mosaic and here is the start of that new project. I want to send a special shout out and thanks to Alyice …
can not do one more robot sketch tonight. Posting a found robot image from flickr…it is just a scale, but it looks like a robot. Unaltered found bot image …enjoy … or don’t. I am too tired to worry about it.
This robot gal is named after my sweet niece Catherine. The human Cat is funny, fashionable, and beautiful just like her Mom. I gave my robot a Prada handbag and the world in one hand, because even though sweet Cat does not know it right now she can indeed hold the world in her hand …
In looking for a good name for today’s bot I googled “famous accountants”, laughing at the same time because who really thinks about accountants being famous. I wanted to name him after an accountant because of his large chest panel of adding buttons. I discovered the following: Josiah Wedgewood. Yes, that Wedgewood, the famous potter—he …
Presenting DR. Rudolph… his name taken from the lens that makes up his head. I created two versions of this guy. The first is pretty straight forward and the 2nd one is more abstract, created with the difference cloud filter. I could have worked on this fellow all night long, getting tired though. I may …
This bot-guy is named after a friend of Dan’s that loves old stereos. I did some screen capture video while working on this one and hope to upload a process movie later this month on this. These recent robots have started out from creative commons images of vintage machines, and parts.
This guy is named Celeritas, Latin for “swiftness”. The 3 images I used to create him are a light meter, vacume tube and wheel castor. My fellow Celeritas has no arms, when traveling at the speed of light you really need no other special ability as a robot, speed is your special power. I created …
Today’s digital sketch is based off of a glass sketch I did last year. I used the wet saw to cut shapes for a robot mosaic … that mosaic has still not been started, but maybe very soon. I really love these shapes. To the right is the photo I took of that glass sketch. …
This guy was created from photographs of vintage things, gears, button panel, rulers, hooks and so on. I really like this one and worked on him for little over an hour. He might be nice printed out on to canvas, maybe a 10 x 10. …we shall see.
I really need to get back to my work on Chip the 3-d robot. Today in an attempt to get reinvigorated on this project I went ahead and sketched out his little dog pal Rover, maybe the dog should be named McRover since I want him to be a mechanical looking Scottie-Bot. I will get …
This is another quick digital doodle that started from a clay piece. I am spending about 30 to 45 minutes on these guys and they are a great way to experiment with filters and drawing combined. I think I will start creating a few affordable prints for Etsy soon.
