Today's studio highlight - repairing a robot I mad Today's studio highlight - repairing a robot I made in 2013 - over 200 robots ago! She's still got it where it counts though.

My works is very tough but not indestructible. Almost all damage is totally repairable and I will be always willing to make repairs on my work for as long as I am still able to sling a TIG torch

Working at one eighth human scale means making a l Working at one eighth human scale means making a lot of precise cuts on teeny pieces of metal - some less than a few millimeters long. The left hand of Moss is made of sixteen separate pieces that need to be TIG welded extremely precisely and without fixtures or jigs.
I don't know if I can make a masterpiece, but I be I don't know if I can make a masterpiece, but I believe that masterpieces are not made accidentally. So begins the odyssey of Moss 430.

This hand belongs to the last robot to bear the Skunkadelia name - it was so transformative that it led me to a whole new approach to junk-metal sculpture: so much so that it led to a new identity.

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 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.
