Sparky gets vented

Sparky the robo-mutt got a hardware upgrade!

His chops weren’t looking doggy enough, so he went back to the Scottoons Robot Factory for some retooling. He was lucky enough to receive innovative dyna-flow whisker vents, lucky pup!

His panting-function-generator had been working too hard, so his new vents should help alleviate that.

Sparky is a Scottoons original robot assemblage sculpture.

He isĀ  made from recycled found objects such as an authentic 1980′s joystick, a large square flashlight housing, PVC pipe connectors, film canister lids, forks, coat hook, and other odds-and-ends and miscellaneous doodads. After I applied a few layers of metallic paint, I let him dry then “rust-i-fied” him with oil paints.
