A peek into the Scottoons studio

Here’s the current condition of the main work table. Various tools and bot bits are laying about. The drink mixer is the main body and head piece for the new commissioned robot assemblage; ChefBot. He’ll be made from various cooking materials and will be quite handy (bad pun foreshadowing there, don’t groan yet, but remember to later).


I like to work on a large pad of newsprint. It’s great for doing many things: tearing apart, assembling, cutting, sanding, painting, and even (gasp) doodling or drawing on. When it gets too messy or cut up, I tear off the top sheet and instantly have a fresh new work surface. I recommend you give it a go. The pads are relatively cheap and it saves your desk or table from countless dings, dents, scratches, and marks! It also makes clean up a snap!

Sparky gets vented

Sparky upgrade: whisker vents
Sparky upgrade: whisker vents, originally uploaded by Scottoons.

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.

Cheers!

Martini glasses are being raised high here at the Scottoons shops. We are embracing barely-bruising-edge technology of the 1990s with our very own blog! Well, a monsterized version, of course… thus the Scottoons Blaaagh!

Rawr!
