A Robot Joins the Crowd

When we entered the Lakeview East Festival of the Arts from the landscaped end at Hawthorne Street, we decided to walk all the way down on the right and then back up. I wanted to divert from that plan almost immediately when I caught a glimpse of a robot with an alphabet block body.  I had always wanted to be able to buy a robot made of recycled hardware parts by Easthampton artist Mark Brown, but I didn’t think I could afford one.  My favorite Mark Brown robot’s body was made of an ice cube tray. I was intrigued by these new alphabet block body robots not only because they reminded me of the Mark Brown ones (and I hoped since they were smaller they might be less expensive) but also because they reminded me of our Alphabots by Hillbilly Healy.

When we finally got back to the booth, we found that the robots were attractively priced at $20.00 and were basically flying out of the booth. I was attracted to the yellow Q block for some reason, and he was quickly purchased and popped into a bag with a bonus robot.

Neither the robot nor the bag are signed, but I checked the Lakeview East Festival of the Arts website and found that the artist is Andrew Ozark from Livonia, Michigan.
