#375 Droog Robot

Holy crap, an update! I think about robots still and want to make more, just find that when I doodle things they aren't robots. But that changed today, quick doodle on a 3x5 index card during a meeting. Droog robot, possibly going for a spot of ultraviolence.

So yeah, there is a robot, first for 2013 and first in over a year. Still looking for funds to buy a new welder, then real fun can begin.

#362 Scratchboard Confidence

This guy is just beaming self confidence.

Scratchboard robot, I've had the board a while but have been too chicken to mess with it until this point. I was going to make a template to follow but just decided I'd freehand.

#355 1950's SkyNet

In the atomic age your automatons will work for you! They will know how to help you all on their own using the new patented SkyNet! Satisfaction guaranteed! Scientists agree that this breakthrough is foolproof and your automaton will be 100% obedient to you!

I dig 1950s and early 1960s graphics styles, I can envision things in my head but rarely get them out how I like. This is pretty dang close. I did a sketch of the robot, used GIMP to paint it, added some color blocks and then Inkscape to do the text.

#351 Doodles

Sheet of doodles done today trying to think up some robot ideas.

#346 Ma and Pa Bot

Pa and Ma Robot pose for portrait paintings.

3" x 3" canvas, spray painted then felt tip pens to fill in.

#333 Rocket Skates!

Let's compare notes. I have a robot on rocket skates. You?



Doodle on a purloined hotel stationary.

#330 Chalk Bot

It was another "grab something out of the boxes in the future craft room" kinda robot day. Tried my hand at pastel chalks, turned out better than I thought, helped to blend it with my fingers. Next time I use them I'll use the light colors first and then blend in some darker colors.

#327 Birthday Wishes Bot

I doodled this on our whiteboard this morning before leaving to wish my wife a happy birthday.

#324 Frost Bot

Another busy weekend settling in to the new casa, here is a robot drawn in frost on the windshield. Yes, late April and still getting frosty windows in the morning.

#320 Dust bot

Tuesday's robot, 4 years of dust is very apparent on a lamp that was behind a desk for that time.

#319 Sharpie Robot

Robot for Monday, a hastily drawn robot in Sharpie on a box.

#317 Happy Robot

Why is this robot so dang happy and smug? It didn't have to have taxes in yesterday.

#314 Pugilist?

While not a 'Rock-em, Sock-em Robot' this guy looks like he'd be quite a pugilist.


Doodle while on a telcon. With packing and new home repairs in full swing it has been hard to set time to do a robot each day but I'm trying to stick with it. Move in less than a week!

#305 El Toro!

What is a RoboTorero without a RoboToro?


Quick doodle, I can't find the parts/stuff to do a 'real' robot out of this one right now.

#302 To the deepest depths...

...of laziness.

I am beyond wiped today, we finally got the keys to our new home (third time homebuyers so hopefully this is the last time for a long time) and we have been running around taking care of what needs to get done before we move in. I was lamenting how tired I am and the lack of brainpower to create a robot, so my dearly beloved wife doodled this out and said 'Guest post!'

I wasn't going to but as I sit with my sketch pad and a cup of hot ginger tea my brain said 'I'm outta here'.
Guest post it is. Beep Beep.

#297 April Showers?

March in Oregon has been 'In like a lion, out like a lion' so far, this robot is wondering if it is time for April showers.


Whiteboard doodle update.

#296 Drum Majorbot

Marching to the beat of a different robot is Drum Majorbot. Ready to lead it is outstanding in its field. And out standing, in its field too!

Playing wiht my large calligraphy marker and some near 16 year old Pentel pens that still work!

#285 Caesar Bot is Worried

Beware the Ides Bots of March!

Started as a doodle to try out my new Itoya 1.5mm marker, thought I'd do a middle aged bot but it looked a bit like Caesar so there it is.

#272 Another Skinny Bot

Another skinny nervous looking robot, doodle done during a conference call.

#264 The Sabertooth Robot

Today's robot is an homage to Mike Russell's Sabertooth Vampire character based on a twitter sketch request.
Mike does Culturpulp features (with the awesome Mr. Do and Mr. Don't) in the Oregonian as well as movie reviews and other ventures. He's @culturpulp on twitter
