crazy for ROBOTS: robot #47

Allen

17.5 inches tall • assembled from random objects in NYC by Lipson Robotics

I absolutely LOVE the robots of David Lipson, aka Lipson Robotics! I first saw these wonderful 'bots when perusing through one of the robot pools that I belong to on flickr. David's robots immediately stood out. Beautifully designed, they have a presence that is undeniably cool. Needless to say, I had a really hard time picking out which two from his robot set to post, but these are two of my (many!) faves.

KF Red

17.5 inches tall • assembled from random objects in NYC by Lipson Robotics

I really love the attention to detail on David's robots.KF Red is constructed out of some great pieces including sauce cups, sprockets, c-clamps, lamp parts, a gas line hose, and much more. I really like the attention to color in this. The spice-canister head and bright yellow arms really help to highlight the detail found in the wonderful piece that makes up his chest. Very cool! Be sure to check out all of the great bots in David's flickr set.

It's All About the Numbers 02

12x12 inches, mixed media on canvas, 2009

Last year, I was approached by artist Tuesday Schmidt about being in an all-women show sometime in early 2009. Needless to say, I don't know where the time went but that sometime is NOW! XX Chromosome, curated by Tuesday, is an exhibition highlighting the value of the feminine hand in art. XX Chromosome will showcase nine local female artists practicing in a variety of mediums including photography, illustration, painting, mixed media, textiles and sculpture.

Although I was unable to complete one of my larger pieces for the show, I'm pretty happy with the pieces I've included. The above piece, It's All About the Numbers 02, came together while I was working on another piece called ROBOTHUMAN. To see this and other pieces, check out my flickr page.
