Vintage Catcherbot, Johnny 5 Bench.
- - -
I’ve had this robot in the works for awhile. After seeing Real Steel, I was determined to use the mask for a battle bot, but it just kept ending up a catcher… for now.

About Real Steel, I realize I’m about 9 years late to the viewing party, but I thought it was decent...could have been so much more. Anyone else? Like it? Hate it? I need to know.

0Z bots were designed to survey large open fields, monitoring fence lines and weeding out invasive plant species with an electric lasso. Over time their mechanical parts broke down and owners improvised, replacing their parts with surrounding organic materials.

I shot 0Z in the field behind my parent’s house where I grew up. It’s soooo hot here in Atlanta. Even after 8pm, it was like swimming in a pasture. The sky was perfect though, with the humidity from the rain making everything green and strangely vibrant. @ Atlanta, Georgia

San Francisco, you’re gonna need a bigger stadium, but this is one team guaranteed to safely hit the field this season. Summer isn’t the same without baseball, so I’m creating a in the form of vintage baseball cards. Also, there’s nothing better than opening a wax pack with an old piece of gum, especially one like this 1960’s Topps classic.

P1 is from a family of Botanicas created to keep away typical garden pests. She was designed to climb high into cacti to seek out spider mites and Dyson them out. Her hair-like tendrils allow her to delicately scale the plant.

P1 is made out of vintage electrical parts and recharges with sunlight or a 250 lumen flashlight in a pinch.

Baby Yoda stole the show, but these guys were so great cheating at Sabacc.

The Minion Bot
This little bot didn’t start out as a minion, but now that’s all I see. Each part is attached with magnets so he’s easy to fit in your pocket, for all those times when you need a robot on-the-go. Oh yeah, last frame is pre-haircut. Which do you prefer?

The closer you look, the more you see, tiny robots all over the garden. 22OK is from a family of Botanicas created to keep away typical garden pests. However, he takes cover at the first sight of a carpenter bee, so no help there at all, until I upgrade to some beefier components.

22OK is made out of vintage electrical parts and magnets, and runs on pollen.

“First of all I’d like to thank the Rebel Alliance, my sidekick R2, Master Luke...oh dear, who else? This is madness! The music is playing...we’re doomed.”
