Being an artist is supposed to be FUN and the most important purpose of creating Woah-Botz sculptures is to bring joy and a sense of whimsy to your life. Here are some pics of the zany shenanigans, celebrity encounters and other favorite snapshots of more than a decade of FUN!
One of the greatest things about being an artist is getting to know OTHER artists. This amazing human being is just one example of the multitude of fantastically creative people I've met along the way. Fabio Napoleoni's work is heartfelt and beautiful, poignant and whimsical... just like the man himself!
Collaboration is another way for artists to break out of their comfort zone and have a little fun. From a Fabio Napoleoni doodle on the back of a painting, I took his little 2D character and created him a real-life version! One of my favorite builds of all time, I'm hoping this adorable little robot fella becomes part of his cast of characters permanently. (I think he'd be a great childrens book character)
Our hero Weird Al Yankovic was blown away when he became the proud owner of his first Woah-Botz sculpture (that looks just like him) backstage at a concert in Eugene, OR. (the storm troopers were impressed too... you just can't tell because of their resting "Empire" face)
Robot Ornaments Causing Chaos! Cazenovia Artisans Gallery has a tradition encouraging its artists to create hand made ornaments every year for Christmas... and the Woah-Botz delivered these cool little multi-color robots for their online store and they sold out TWICE the first year and every year since.
Trading artwork is just ONE of the ways artists have a bit of fun on the side! I surprised the ridiculously talented Doug Bloodworth with a custom robot sculpture one year at the Epcot Festival of the Arts. He surprised me with this custom original painting the next year!
Greg Nicotero (the man, the legend, the Emmy award winning special effects make-up GOD, Director and Producer from The Walking Dead) swoops into our booth at the Escape Velocity event, tells us he loves the Woah-Botz and purchases FOUR sculptures for his castmates!
Attending the Epcot Festival of the Arts, when I was still represented by the PoP Gallery, was always the highlight of my year! It was a chance to be engulfed in the Disney magic and surrounded with art lovers from all over the globe.
