Earlier this year i did a print of a capitalistic construction robot. I really liked this piece and about 3-4 weeks ago i finished actually building this sucker. Here are some pictures.
Here is a picture before it was painted, the whole piece is constructed out of different types of wood, from balsa to bass and whatever else i could find.
These are pictures of it in the Art Center gallery.. Kind of hard to see without a white wall behind it.
Heres pictures of it with a light shooting into the model, casting a shadow very similiar to the two dimensional silkscreen print.. The Constructacon is abaout 3 ft tall and the cranes around 5 ft tall.

Jon, that's crazyyyyy!!! The print is amazing but I never thought you'd build it. Very cool.
Yea dude, I remember the cool shadows you got with the robot at the scholarship show.
You're nuts man! The robot came out great.
WOW! WOW!! That's SUPER COOL!
Nicely done. Love the drawing .
It reminds me of the original 'Wicker Man'.
That is really cool, love to see the drawing made into an actual model. Really like the drawing, reminds me of the doozers on Fragle rock.

I can't believe you built it as well?! Amazing talent.
holy cr@p!

did you use balsa and bass for specific parts for specific reasons?
or did you just use whatever you had?
very very cool.
That is impressive! All that detail has a real beauty to it.
that's hot man. you are my art hero. imma have to roll by and pick up some more of your art though, it rocks! can't wait to see the other one finished. miss you man!
wow, how did you do in scholarship anyways? =)
These are really cool. It's so awesome to see drawings and an actual physical sculpture!
Thanks everyone for the comments.. it took a while to finish building and painting this sucker, but it was alot of fun also just to sit there and piece everything together. Balsa and bass was used because that was all i had around me.
great to see the blog healthy as ever, this piece is fantastic and makes me think about doing similar things. It's one thing i woud never consider, when its on the paper thats it. great to see someone having the balls to go that bit further, HOorahh
Cool new work Jon!! I like this giant robot construcor guy!
Excellent. I love it.
