Ozz n426 is the first 'domed head' Neutrino class

Ozz n426 is the first 'domed head' Neutrino class Astrobot ever made. Can you guess what it used to be?
His head swivels 180 degrees, and has a lot of wiggle to it for extra animation. Currently employed as an overqualified paperweight, but looking for work in your area.

The 2024 Skunkadelia calendar is now available!

I’ve been making print calendars yearly since 1998. Each year I go through the work I’ve made and select the twelve best representatives of my efforts. Choosing a calendar photo is different than choosing an image to be posted on social media, because calendar images have a whole month to reveal their secrets: each one gets at least a few passing glances a day. Therefore I like to use photos that have some stories hidden in them, with small details that can be easily overlooked. They aren’t in every image, but they’re there.

This calendar is created, photographed, designed, printed, bound, signed and sent to you by the artist. Limited 100 signed numbered prints.

This is a highly functional calendar which displays previous and next months, holidays, full and new moons, eclipses, and significant astronomical events. Lots of room on writable matte paper for adding your plans, hopes, and temporal appointments.

Please let Opal i427 know how beautiful she is. This one's a real jewel and I'm so proud to share her with you.

I wrote a story about making her - read it by following the link in my bio.

Back after a year-long hiatus, I present my comeback piece: James x428. The sabbatical was a chance for me to rethink everything - and I feel supercharged!! Lots of new pieces to share with you, because I've been having a blast in the studio again.

Making trophies for #iffboston is a blast, way beh

Making trophies for #iffboston is a blast, way behind schedule but making progress.

These stamps are the tricky part as my stamp set can only hold twelve characters per whack of the hammer. I made errors the first couple of days that caused me to backtrack. Failure is a great teacher and each time you have to start over you make gratifying improvements.

The next step is to get the trophy parts cleaned up and ready for TIG welding.

Each year I make a print calendar of my year's work - in fact I've been making them since 1998. I'm proud to say this is my best one yet, but perhaps it's because I aquired a new camera early last year and I'm seeing the reults now. The robots are adorable too.

Ups asked me what I was shipping. I said "a sculpture, no wait, a robot sculpture, no wait, a CUTE ROBOT SCULPTURE. I showed him a picture of Lila and he agreed 👍

I've been taking a break from making art for the last few months - the first time since 2006. There's a part of me that misses the creative outlet, but it's nice to be able to focus on other things. Make no mistake: being a successful artist is an extremely demanding job. To do it well, you need to produce excellent work, but on top of that you need to be a great communicator, photographer, web designer, public speaker... I could go on and on. That's why I love it, and that's why it's good to take time off now and then.

Ps: I have many robots ready for adoption, and I'm still doing commissions as they come.

I'm back from vacation, and I'm ready to dig deepe

I'm back from vacation, and I'm ready to dig deeper and be more mindful of my work, pushing hard to get as much complex emotion as I can from as few parts as possible. This 'portrait' is a good example of what I'm striving for.

There's no name for this little one yet, but I've still got some time before I stamp the boilerplate.

Lila d413 enjoying her time outside on a fine New England spring day.

I enjoy hanging out with my art for a spell before they find their new caretakers. Lila is four months old, 'born' January 27th, and she's been lounging around my place ever since.

If you are interested in adopting Lila, let me know.

Bo n414 (left) and Pinto i415 (right), get to wander around the shop on Thursday nights.

Bo:
Bicycle freehub and freehub bolt, three machine screws, five three-speed bicycle planetary gears, ten three-speed bicycle pawl pins, two three-speed bicycle pawls, two flathead manchine screws, two washers, two ball bearings

Two bicycle stem wedge bolts, two bicycle axles, bicycle freehub body, four machine screws, four steel three-speed bicycle hub pawls, two copper three-speed bicycle hub pawls, three washers, bicycle axle cone, two three-speed bicycle planetary gears, two ball bearings, nut, bronze.

Pinto’s torso rotates in one direction, much like the freehub on the rear wheel of a bicycle. This along with the ability to rotate the head, allows for some interaction and pose-ability.
