Illustrations
Occasionally drawn by hand, all re-drawn in flash, these robots are mostly the kind of things you wouldn’t have to deal with if they were real.
A few of these designs eventually were made into laser cut models.
The Yikiyo robot was the first robot I ever designed, so logically it was the first to be then redesigned and built into a laser cut model. The Yikiyo design is still one of my favorites.
In 2007 I was invited to design a robot for Wooden Toy magazine in Melbourne for an exhibition and collector issue of the magazine.
All the robots I have built have always started with illustrations, either on paper or in vector format. Here are a few of them.
One of the first things these robots were used for was this limited edition Yikiyo tshirt. If you want one, there are a few left..
