Roboto Robusto robot by Lockwasher.
Robot Robusto (8”)
Mr. Robusto’s crafted from a copper float, coffee strainer, vintage light toggle switch, fishing reel arms, assorted gears and an old cloth tape measure. I assembled Robusto as a response to Illustration Friday’s word of the week “fat”.

Machine thought in digital bliss, all knowledge
stored in memory banks equal to the Universe.
Machine had learned how to think for itself
but was like an unloved child, left on the shelf.
A sentient being with nothing much to do.
Machine was bored…Source
