I made this quick video to help people think about glass as functional work surfaces. Islands, desktops, reception desks,…it’s extremely practical because it is so easy to keep clean. Add the fact that it is an amazing substrate through which to view color, and it will be a show-stopper no matter where it goes.

‘Ape Call’ by Nervous Norvus
Oh, Nervous Norvus. Why you suddenly popped into my head yesterday, I definitely don’t know. Enjoy!

“I” is for Iron Giant - my submission for the AlphaBots challenge
The animated version of this really sweet book came out after I was an adult, but it still made me take notice of director Brad Bird. I think if that guy works hard, he’ll do alright.
In my version, the Iron Man realizes his true gift is in creating abstract sculptures.
“H” is for “Hal 9000” from 2001: A Space Odyssey. This is my entry in the AlphaBots challenge.
While the 1968 film was a little before my time, I remember watching it on TV with my parents when I was far too young to have any framework to understand it, and it completely wigged me out. The visuals, the monkeys, the voice of calm authority that just wants to kill you. Good times.
In my version, I imagine Dave gets a bit drunk and just longs for the midnight fast food run. And Hal, with his infinite patience has to rebuff his advances.

G is for “Inspector Gadget”, my entry into the AlphaBots challenge.
He’s a beloved cyborg-uncle-bumbling detective that was voiced by the wonderful Don Adams (Get Smart) for a 3-year run from 1983-1986. Part man, part ill-timed gadgetry, he was the first superspy for many a child.
In my version, I pose the question, what would happen when his niece, Penny - who solved all the crimes with her trusty dog Brain anyway - got the gadget to end all gadgets,…an iPhone.

“F” is for “Flotsam” one of the kindly “Fix-Its” robots in the movie, “*batteries not included”, my entry in this week’s AlphaBots challenge.
This feel good movie from 1987 was like “Cocoon” meets “This Old House” if Norm was a bunch of tiny, kindly robots. But the above comic proposes what would happen if they made a mistake went to the wrong house. I mean, who wouldn’t want a cute little helper robot? Sure, I’ll be your Jessica Tandy!

This is my entry to the AlphaBots challenge (Letter “E”), but also works with my Momic Comic series. I’m just saying, like the robot ED-209 from the Robo Cop movie, my daughter is determined and unyielding. Plus she can take a flight of stairs, no problem. World domination, people.

“D” is for Dot Matrix - my entry in the AlphaBots Challenge
From the 1987 Mel Brooks movie “Spaceballs,” this characer was voiced by Joan Rivers and played by the late, great Lorene Yarnell.
Apparently, my theme for this alphabet of robots is shaping up to be robots from movies of the 70’s and 80’s (ie: my childhood). PS - I am old.

Colbert and Stewart… (in color this time)
See, not all Stewart/Colbert fan art is erotic.
But it should be….
