Scott Thomas, who was the Design Director of New Media for the Obama campaign, invited me to include my November 4, 2008 poster in an Obama inspired art show in Chicago. I’m psyched.
The submissions for our Robot Raffle turned out to be an awesome collection of robot things. Thanks everyone who submitted! We sent an email to the winner, but if the person doesn’t reply back by the end of today, we’ll draw a new winner. Thanks thanks thanks!
One of my best friends in the whole world, Bill, his awesome girlfriend Jessie, and I started making and selling Stuffed Robots back in 2005. We started off with three original robot designs by Jessie and Bill, but the project has changed and evolved several times over the years and currently presents itself as follows:
We made a big batch of 100 Mellowtron robots, and came to the unexpected conclusion that these would be the last Mellowtrons we ever made. After them we’ll make 100 of the final RoxyBots, and then 100 of AngryBot. What we end up making after that remains to be seen, which is super exciting. We’ve been doing a lot of experimenting with stuffed animals, and as soon as we find something we really feel strongly about, we’ll see what happens.
I hadn’t thought about these in a while, but I found a scrap of paper with all the ones I have left to do. I’m 99% certain that Eric Lodwick suggested this one to me.
