I ♥ Robot

I love drawing robots just as much as dinosaurs. I especially love creating mechanical marvels with an organic edge. There is something so musically visceral about these guys you can almost hear the clanks, whirs, and whistles as you draw.









I guess I have much to thank for my love of these bucket o' bolts. Doug Chiang comes to mind, especially his remarkable work on ROBOTA. His trademark of placing technology within exotic, organic environments was really inspirational to me. I highly recommend you check out his old site here.

When I was younger I was also a huge fan of the early Lego BIONICLE line. The story gripped me becuase of this combination of robot warriors living on an organic, tribal island. I started out with the "bones" and worked my way up from there. I want to try some more stuff with these guys in the future-- maybe a more sketchy, conceptual look in my own unique style.



















I also tried my hand at a style very similar to the amazing duo that is Creature Box. These guys add so much energy to their work, resulting in the most awesome, comical, and original characters yet. You can check out Dave Guertin and Greg Baldwin's work here.
