299 (Just CADding Around)
This robot was sketched out entirely on the computer, which - for Serious Digital Artist Types - is not a big deal, but it’s not something I typically do since I don’t particularly excel at it, and drawing something like this directly into Illustrator makes very little sense from a making-things-look-good perspective. Oh well, here it is just the same. And, for the parties who were...

298 (Paying Work)
Check it out - this robot was literally commissioned - as in, I was paid a fee for it. It’s a robot dog, and the story of how it came about that someone needed me to draw it is not one I am going to tell because I am eating dinner right now. I’m not entirely sure how or by whom this will ultimately be used, but I owe big thanks to Ms Cohen for lucking me into the gig in the first...

297 (Back in the Saddle)
I’ve returned home after a week in L.A. I would have done more robots while away, but it turns out that I had other stuff to do, like see Elliott Gould wandering around LA’s Museum of Contemporary Art, and listen to Carl Reiner talk between screenings of two awesome movies he did. That’s right, the only celebrities I saw while in LA were titans of the 70’s, although I did...

296 (Seen on the Street)
Check it out, I saw this thing yesterday, standing outside a coffee shop or something. It’s a pretty alright robot, I guess. Oh, also, here is an important piece of news: Today is Dennis Hopper Sunday, so be sure to pre-order your own limited edition poster commemorating the day.

295 (A Remark About my Absence)
If you’ve been paying any attention you’ve noticed that I’ve missed the last couple days. Here is my excuse: I am on vacation. Not from this site, but from being at work, and being at home, and having normal days. Right now I’m sitting in a living room in a house in Los Angeles, hoping desperately that I am not making too many typos, since typos are the sort of thing...

294 (TerrorFace)
I saw a an enormously enjoyable scary movie tonight, so it follows that today’s robot would be frightening. Hey PS did I mention some artwork got featured on a blog last week? This is exactly the venue I’ve been shooting for all these months.

293 (The Eye of the Machine)
This is sort of an atypical entry. Below is a (mostly) unedited picture I took with my phone (it has been cropped, but that is all). Thanks to my overactive imagination, the image looks - to me - more than a little reminiscent of a robot’s eye, and if I’d messed with the hue to make it red it would totally have a HAL9000 thing going on. Your mileage may vary. If you can guess what...
292 (reworks)
This was adapted from a robot that showed up on this website forever ago (forever being “more than a year”). Oh well. That’s all I’m saying tonight.

Listen: my evening did not go as planned. I was supposed to see a free preview screening of the much-buzzed-about movie Inception. This did not happen, despite my best efforts (which weren’t all that great, I only got there half an hour early, whatever). Then, when I came home, I got wrapped up an entirely non-robot-related project (but you will hear about it here later on, nonetheless),...

290 (Super Robot Red Baron)
Here a little something I made featuring Super Robot Red Baron. For those (all?) of you who aren’t familiar, Super Robot Red Baron was a Japanese TV show from the early 70’s, back when live-action Japanese TV shows were required to be concerned either with enormous extraterrestrial/cybernetic/prehistoric entities who stomped on things, or paramilitary organizations loosely devoted to...

288 (Rough Draft at the O.K. Corrall)
Full disclosure: This was inspired by (read: ripped-off wholesale from) a Polish movie poster for a film I haven’t seen. What you see below is only the first draft, however, and hopefully by tomorrow I will have something that’s a little more original and a little less “I got rid of the text and spent a few minutes in Illustrator fixing some stuff.” See you then. Oh,...

286 (what did I tell you?)
Here is yesterday’s robot, with some post-production. Listen: it is so hot in this room, even though it is late at night, that I can hardly think what else to tell you. I think you probably know how this feels.

285 (Pencil Sketches after a Long Exploding...
Hello Again. Did everyone have a Fourth of July? Of course you did, unless you were just born today. Me, I had a pretty good holiday, save for the enormous heat and also I didn’t see any fireworks (got too tired watching action movies, didn’t have the energy - you know how it is, probably). Anyway, here is a simple pencil sketch of a robot that I hope to gussy-up like I did the most...
An Announcment, of Sorts
Do you recall that design I made for that little 4th of July tradition, Everything Explodes Weekend? Yes you do: Well, now you can own a shirt with this design on it. This is a pretty novel idea, putting something besides a pocket on a T-shirt, so I hope I’m not alarming you. Why is this relevant to this, the Daily Robot, a website that is ostensibly not about action movies but about...
