New York based artist Gordon Bennett gives a totally new meaning to the saying: “another man’s trash is another man’s treasure”. With his talent and skills, Bennett turned a passion into a very successful source of income with his fantastic robot sculptures series.
The robots measure between 35 cm to 1 meter in height and are made of metal, wood, plastic, glass and any material that can be salvaged. And if you’re thinking these are toys, better think again. These steampunky, cool-named robots range in price from $900 to $4,800 and are available at the City Foundry or through the Bennett Robot Works website. And considering that a robot takes up to a month to build, the price seems a total bargain.
In the meantime, Christmas is coming up and I’m sure the sci-fi enthusiast near you would love an one-of-a-kind present. Enjoy!
