Custom Wedding Cake Decoration

Someone liked my pieces at Mindfulnest Santa Monica and commissioned a custom wedding cake topper for her upcoming ceremony. Reception I guess I should say. Or maybe I should insist it be utilized in the ceremony too somehow?

My first concept sketch was a bit too traditional

LuvBots as Weddign Cake Topper

She liked the heart motif from the LuvBots so I was able to combine that with the idea of bent wires as the bouquet. I’m sure it will be a unique wedding and I hope she’ll send pictures…

February Robot of the Month: Botonist Bot

admin — Sun, 05 Feb 2012 23:45:16 +0000

This robot has an enthusiasm for raising exotic plants. Unfortunately his latest hybrid creation has an enthusiasm for eating robot faces.

This sculpture measures 4″ tall and is made from a high strength plaster called ultracal, wire, and polymer clay. The plant is completely hand mixes and sculpted so each one will be unique. His is mounted on to a sturdy base and requires no watering.

Regretsy Meet-Up: LA 2012

Who would have thought that people so brutal online toward poorly conceived handicrafts are such warm and friendly people to hang out with. Well I guess I had a hunch or I wouldn’t have gone would I? Have?

Entering this place is like walking into a giant jukebox – which I believe was the premise for a failed Happy Days spin-off cartoon.

Our host for the evening. Despite their over the top raunchy dances, his sensibilities were too delicate to announce our group as “Club Fuckery” as requested. Instead we were a group of co-workers “from Finland.” By the end of the eveing he was almost on track, calling us “Regret Website.”

One of our servers making the jump to light speed.

Sake bombs awaiting deployment.

April, the mastermind behind Regretsy, was tickled by tribute Regretsy Bot I made up for her. Get a closer look HERE

And just in case we didn’t already think we were at the Chuck-E-Cheese of sushi restaurants, the waitstaff was forced to put on an awful lip-synced Disney musical mash-up slash blatant request for us to order more beer and sake. The Wizard of Oz lion mask utilized for the Lion King number was so faded and disgusting that it actually looks to have been peeled off a dead shut-in.

January Robot of the Month: Regretsy Bot

admin — Sun, 22 Jan 2012 06:03:49 +0000

Stop me before I craft again!

In honor of this month’s LA Regretsy Meet-up, January’s Robot of the month is Regretsy Bot.

As the Terminator franchise has taught us, human skulls are plentiful in the post-robot apocalypse world. This painfully misguided robot has donned his favorite balaclava and is glittering and glue-gunning away at a heaping pile of bad art. Is it comforting that your cranium might well be a pine cone of the future?

Get yours today, they will be made to order and yes no 2 will be exactly alike! This unique sculpture measures 4″ tall and is made from ultracal plaster, wire, plastic, polymer clay, and glue gun snot.

The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn: Robotic Edition Makes Kickstarter’s List of Top Videos of the Year

admin — Mon, 09 Jan 2012 21:36:22 +0000

Out of all the project videos uploaded to Kickstarter.com, it’s quite an honor for the video I edited to top the list of the best videos of 2011! I’d like to take all the credit, but there’s no question it’s one of Kickstarter’s favorites due to the witty and intelligent writing of Diani & Devine.

Regretsy – I’ve made it in the world… (the one I care about anyway)

I’ts an honor to be mentioned (in a positive light) on Regretsy! Lots of fun comments too. Not to worry, robotic barnyard animals and a caganer were already in the works, but weren’t ready for the 2011 set (the Robot Jim figurines were a lot to get off my plate). Excuses, excuses I know. It gives us all something to look forward to for 2012!

Happy Holidays from Day of the Robot

Wunderbar Vakuum-Kondensator dar!

admin — Sun, 11 Dec 2011 05:36:06 +0000

Much like David Hasselhoff and Matt Dillon’s grunge band, I’m big in Germany! Got a nice shout out on Gizmodo.de for the 2011 Robot Nativity.

Roughly translated by a crappy free website that pops up ads about every 3 seconds:

The sculpture of day of the robot tells the Christmas story times differently. On the metal socket, the solemnly by LEDs can be lit, find three Roboter-Weise , Mary, Joseph and a cute little Roboter-Jesus space. Instead of gold, frankincense and myrrh offer the three wise men the metal child a sprocket legos and a Vakuum-Kondensator dar. The humorous scene can you for $200 (around 153 euro) under the Christmas tree.
