I just found out that I have been selected to go ahead with the design phase of the sculpture project for the Lucile Packard Children's Hospital!!! Now I have to design a couple of families of robots for them to choose from. This will include Mom and Dad robots, 2 kid robots, and a dog robot. I can hardly wait to get started! They will be new designs based on my recent and popular robot series.
Los Angeles sculptor Bruce Gray recently did an interview for the Well Kept Wallet podcast by Deacon Hayes. This 21 minute interview is an informative look at the business side of being a successful artist in today's world. It also discusses Bruce's work with renting his sculptures to the film and TV industry. His work has appeared frequently in productions such as Austin Powers, Starship Troopers, Meet the Fockers, Gone in 60 Seconds, Friends, Seinfeld, NYPD Blue and many, many others.

Say hello to "Bing" the Robot! He is 6' 9" tall, single, and enjoys video games and destroying stuff with his ray gun. It took 16 days of working until 1-2 am to get him done in time for his TV debut on "King of the Nerds." This was a difficult sculpture to build because I had to connect steel to aluminum and such. Lots of tap and die work. It weighs a TON!
