crazy for ROBOTS: robot #42

TANK!
alarm clock robot by TOKYObay

Check out this awesome robot clock that my husband got me for Christmas! Isn't he cool?! Made by the folks at TOKYObay, these bots are solid. I love the shape of this little guy, especially his squatty legs. His arms and legs move, too, which is really cool. There are 5 robots in this collectable series, but TANK is by far my fave. Thank you, Jake!

NEW YEAR BOT 2009

Hi friends and Happy New Year! I hope you're all doing well. I wanted to take this opportunity to thank all of you for your continued support and for helping to make 2008 a great year for me. I truly appreciate all the comments I receive on here as well as all the emails I get. It really means a lot to me! I know that I am sometimes not the best at getting back to everyone, but I do read every email I receive and will sincerely try to get back to everyone soon. As I look ahead to 2009, I am excited about several upcoming projects and ideas that I hope to work on this year.

Although the robot posts will continue (and I'll continue to draw them!), I am excited about to announce that 2009 is the Year of the HYPER DOODLE. If you look at the tags to this post, you'll see that I've added a new "hyperdoodle" tag. As I was looking through the pieces that I did last year, I noticed that I've been doing a lot of these hyper doodles lately. Many of my ideas for 2009 revolve around this theme. I'm excited to see where this leads...!
