SCULPTURE: "SLIM, the Planter Bot"

After helping my friends last week to make robots on their farm, I got inspired to make "Slim". He's a Planter-Bot made from PVC pipe, some cheap plastic stuff from TARGET, wood screws and super glue. I don't know how to weld, so I used tools that I have in my basement. I finished it off with some enamel spray paint for the rusty metal look. I secured him to the ground with rebar and long bolts.

 

 

 

CHALK ART: "Postcard #66"

 

I ran across this editorial online on a sign at a bookstore. Made me chuckle...so I did my version as a "postcard". After I finished my chalk art, it dawned on me that bookstores are almost extinct these days. Ironic.

SCULPTURE: "Thark Warrior"

I'm a fan of author Edgar Rice Burroughs' book series that takes place on Mars ("Barsoom" to the indigenous beings). I also like the Disney movie called "John Carter" that was a good attempt to capture the adventure in the books. For fun, here's my take on a "THARK WARRIOR". They're 15 feet tall, have two sets of arms, and their eyes can swivel independently forwards and back to see without moving their heads. Their ears (antennae) are on the top of their heads, and big tusks protrude from their mouths. Lovely.
