I made some electronic and structural repairs to this #robot. It's working fine now.

Like my other #robots, this one will be about three feet tall. It will be #free-standing, #tri-legged, and I'll endeavor to include #illuminated #hover-feet, as I have on my other #creations. Also like my other #bots, it will have two arms and #tri-fingered illuminated fingertips. #wip #art #design

Labor Day weekend my interactive musical Folk Art contraptions will be found at the Ebey Island Freedom Fest, a four-day private music party hosted by world champion harmonica artist Jim McLaughlin. I am the Willy Wonka of Noise aka The Noisemaker. Make some noise!

My location for the Arts A-Glow event changed to 616 SW 152nd St. You can easily find me by listening for the sounds of my creations being explored. But just in case, I'll be in front of the Paralyzed Veterans building on the north side of the street. Do drop by with the kids to make some noise.

Change of location for my illuminated interactive presentation. I'll be at 616 SW 152nd St. Burien, WA 98166 7-10PM

Despite over 100 Earth years of literary, artistic, and film propaganda to the contrary, I want to assure the people of Earth that there is absolutely no documented evidence that robotkind holds any ill will toward humanity or has any interest in abducting the female members of your species.

This young performance artist used the bell of a bulb horn as a microphone. I was so amused by his unique approach to self-directed fun that I had to capture a few moments of it to share.

I provide mallets for children to use to explore the percussive sounds in my interactive musical playground but sometimes a hands-on approach is just as fun.

This skull and crossed bones handled aluminum Halloween platter and this cast aluminum ingot of 40 skulls seem destined to be included together in a future spooky art project.
