The Murderous Automatons of Tom Kyzivat
Tom Kyzivat runs Murderous Automatons, that’s a website rather than a deadly machine army (I hope), and produces illustrations, animation and video. As the name of the site and his deviant art gallery suggests; although he draws a range of things he does seem to enjoy illustrating those murderous automatons. Via the ever watchful Pipedreamergrey […]

Archeologists Of Shadows, Volume 1: The Resistance
Septagon Studios is home to a rather interesting graphic novel. Archeologists Of Shadows is a successful blend of drawing, photography and digital painting.

Warpath Wall-e and Eve
The former child friendly robots Wall-E and Eve have had a bit of a rebuild. The famous shoot of green can be see still growing from that old boot and safely held in battle Eve’s protective hand.

Strangely cute robots built from reclaimed objects
This is art – but it’s also geeky art. Italian artist Andrea Petrachi builds these wonderful looking, fantasy, robotic constructs from bits and pieces that have been discarded. He uses lens, cameras and doll parts for heads, for example, forks for hands and wire for legs. I think they’re stunning and a successfully odd mix […]
