FOUND OBJECT ROBOTS |
Fobots are the work of Raleigh, North Carolina artist Amy Flynn. After over 25 years as a professional illustrator (you can visit her design portfolio at www.amyflynndesigns.com), Amy started making robots to fill the time between illustration jobs. Now, it's her passion, as it combines two of her favorite pastimes; making things and shopping. She scours flea markets, basements, internet auctions, and scrapyards for cool old junk. Amy then solders and bolts the pieces together to create sturdy, one-of-a-kind sculptures, never to be duplicated. Each Fobot is numbered, with a copper plate on its back bearing the word "FOBOT" and its individual number. We call them butt tags. Not all Fobots open up, but if they do--they get a heart inside!
Warning: Fobots are not toys, they are not functional, and they will not go on a rampage while you sleep. May contain lead solder (duh!), so don't eat them. For more information, visit the blog at www.amyflynndesigns.wordpress.com OR, "Like" us on the FOBOT Facebook Fan Page
