Robot Cake Love at Baby Toolkit

I was calmly perusing my google reader, looking for cool stuff, when I came across this nifty robot cake. “Oh how cute,” I thought to myself, “those remind me of my little robots. And what a clever way to decorate a cake..” So I keep reading, and hey!–They are inspired by my little space robot guys! Nothing warms my tummy more than spreading the robot love.

So, kudos to adrienne of Baby Toolkit on an excellently decorated cake – she’s got a great writeup on how she used a store bought cake decorated with easy homemade fondant. And happy birthday to the little one…!

If you missed it, all the Robot Party stuff is here, including downloadable invite & thank you note graphics, and my own slightly more complicated cake design.

Oh, and they also had a starring appearance in my first attempt at fabric design!

Illustration Friday – "Hoard"

I’m quite happy with my robot toddler, hoarding his toys.
I did this in a similar style as Baby but I’m even happier with the technique this time. (There’s another similarity to Baby, can you spot it?)

Illustration Friday – Primitive

Falling back on an old standby – Robots!

The Primative Robot:

Pencil sketch, scanned and colored in Photoshop.

I was playing around with alot of different ideas around the idea of a primitive robot. I was actually sketching a robot to look like ‘old iron’ (an old mainframe computer from the dark ages – like the 40s/50s). But the idea of making the robot a headhunter, with shrunken robot heads in his hand, kept pulling on my mind, and this is what came out. the original idea was less dark — no pile of robot parts for him to be standing on — but it worked well as a background i think, and it was fun to draw.

Which is, of course, the point!

So, anyone know what the tip of his spear is supposed to be? I’ll be impressed!
