Hope your New Year is a golden bejeweled cup of fantastical amazingness overflowing with a brew of sensational extra specialness. Make sure not to spill it on that fancy New Year’s shirt.

SAM the Robot

J Chris — Sun, 08 Aug 2010 17:47:12 +0000

A few years ago I searched for information or video for Sam the Robot and came up empty handed. But just give the internet time and it’ll dig up anything. I was thumbing thru an old Sesame Street treasurey book and saw a Sam the Robot story. Which reminded me to ask the internet about old Super Automatic Machine (S.A.M.) and so I found a really nice clip. Dig that Coon Tail hanging from his antenna.

Sam didn’t make it very long on Sesame Street and he only appeared a handful of times. But I remember well and always watched hoping he would show up.

They’ve since introduced a new robot called Rico.

Here he is as the Season Robot 3000.

I don’t really like the look of the new robot but I’d much rather see him than no robot at all. I’m sure soon enough he’ll become obsolete just like SAM.

Neatobot Cards

I’ve been creating Neatobot trading cards lately. I’ve done 2 in the series so far and also a special Neatobot Sketch Card that I use at conventions for commission sketches. I didn’t want to leave out all my virtual pals so now you can get them all online at NEATOBOTS.COM!

Nevull is from 2009

Retch is from 2010

You can order all 3 cards and get an original Sketch for one price. Keep an eye on Neatobots.com for more information about all my robot creations!

Before You Know It

Gearing up for SPX my good pal Rob Ullman (whom I’ll be squatting with at SPX) and I have decided to post every day until SPX. Blogging from Zero to 60 should be fun. Let’s see if I can do it!

Hopefully I’ll be bringing some new Neatobot Toys with me. This one was started about a year ago.

I’ll have a new mini-comic for FLUKE on April 12,2008. It’s called 26 robots and it’s a full color collection of robots in alpabetical order. Drop me a line if you can’t make it to FLUKE and you’d like a copy. Not sure of the price right now but I’ll let you know ASAP.

Robots versus a class of 3 year olds

Today I went to my son’s school and drew robots with his classmates!

Go here and check out what all the kids did and download the template for yourself.

Robots and Flowers

J Chris — Tue, 19 Feb 2008 19:39:14 +0000

I like having something brand new at every show I go to. It doesn’t always happen but I try. For ACE I continued my theme of Flowers and Robots. Ending up with 3 out of 5 being on topic. Not so shabby I guess.

What is shabby is the scan job I did on these suckers. The colors either get completely washed out or really saturated. Now I don’t have the originals to adjust them like. But hey, I was walking out the door so I’m glad I even took the time to capture them in the first place.

Can you guess the 3 that sold at the show?

Robot Ink Sketch

J Chris — Wed, 06 Feb 2008 22:59:03 +0000

I’m working on some water color robots to have for ACE. I bought some ink and a brush to see if I liked the way it worked. I tested the it last night real quick on the water color paper I have. It was fun to do so I think I’ll use it on the final water colors and scan them for you when I finish. Or you could just come to ACE and take one home with you!
