I miss my Art House Co-op Sketchbook...
It's currently in Los Angeles touring with the rest of the Sketchbook Project 2012 World Tour and I miss it. Not the having it particularly, but the doing it...so when I saw that Art House Co-op were recruiting for a little mini project I just couldn't resist.

This is what they sent me with instructions to create something
and install it in a public place for a stranger to discover.
It's a light blue Prismacolor Pen (which I'm now a little bit smitten by) and a card saying:
"Help! Robots are taking over the
local elementary school"
So here's what I drew...
This is Abek
The gauge on his chest indicates how interested he is in your conversation...he wishes it didn't.

This is Binak
He thinks he can dance like a human.

This is Modran
He likes to amuse people by rolling slowly sideways
on his foot-tracks whilst pretending not to notice.
This is Phara
Her glass head casing steams up when she gets
angry.
This is Bosk
He wishes he had a separate head component like the
other robots.
and here's where I left them...
About half a mile down the road I paused and glanced back over my shoulder before I turned up the road which leads to my house. Under my robots' tree stood a woman, shopping bags in hand, gazing upward, and I realised at that moment that Abek, Binak, Modran, Phara and Bosk are probably not the last robots I'll be leaving for strangers to find.
