Awesome design – love the pretty little flower he’s (???) dreamily staring at.

Very cool robot, Dot! He’s so smooth, and almost childlike. I love his flower. Seeing a robot that loves and nurtures flowers reminds me of Miyazaki’s Castle in the Sky (Laputa).

thanks, guys!

Brian,
I’m not sure you actually typed that question correctly, but if you’re asking if i designed it as a tattoo or if it was for something else… I did design it for this specific purpose.

I love the sentimental robot! By the way, hot press has a smooth surface, cold press has a textured surface. The smooth surface generally allows for more detail and is easier to draw on.

I always like how you manage to make your robots so full of personality.
This is a lovely image.
I watched Wall-e the other night – its a fab movie have you seen it?

I am always a fan of your robots. They look so friendly.

About the Easter eggs, you asked about, here are my links:

http://carolbrowne.com/index.php?itemid=2504 – 2 washi eggs and a gold glittery egg. The Washi eggs are wooden eggs covered in paper. I blogged about that here – http://carolbrowne.com/index.php?itemid=2480

They are quick to make – and really easy. And they end up looking very nice.
