Robots!
April 15, 2007 |
[-alterations, art, sculpture-]
by lockwasher
These delightful Robots are all made from gathered bits and pieces in the workshop of Lockwasher.
As you can see, each one is a work of art and has a unique personality.

about the artist:
Lockwasher is a self-described designer, sculptor, assemblage artist, junk dude…crackpot. He’s a product of the late ’50’s and tells us that he’s “happy to be - #1. totally taken (married) , B. a father to an incredibly talented “tweener” daughter and third. really enjoy creating new stuff out of other/old stuff” He is and has been a graphic designer, ice cream scooper, trade show manager, 2nd place winner in the 8th grade softball toss, event coordinator, teribull speller, store merchandiser, dishwasher, auto parts driver, prep cook, landscape designer, mattress builder, donut shop helper, auto mechanic, country club snack bar nerd, bonsai fanatic, toy collector and frequent finder of found objects…not necessarily in that order. Please go to see more of his work at: flickr.com/photos/lockwasher. Or at his blog: lockwasherdesign.blogspot.com.
