Quadcopters have learned to fence… and now we’re all screwed. http://i.imgur.com/lQrxrwy.gifv

Okay, that Sadamoto bike racing stuff got me digging back through my Hobby Japan stash and I finally tracked down these old gems that have always mystified me (from issue 259, Dec. 1990). Obviously the theme is some sort of Immortal Grand Prix-style robo-racing competition, but I haven’t been able to find any further information about it. I suspect it started as a modelling contest with something like stylized Diaclone builds, but that’s pure speculation. It says Round 3 in the heading so I’m assuming there were two installments prior to this, but I’m missing those issues, GRAAAHHH!

Awesome back cover illustration from Comic Weapon Cyber Comix issue 01, 30 March 1988. I have some suspicions about the artist here, but I can’t read Japanese so unfortunately I can’t confirm them. D :

Inspired by the notion of robots modeled after the myriad creatures in nature, artist and animal systematician Louis Bec has generated a new body of work–as he calls it, a zoology of change. Bec’s colorful, futuristic creatures were spawned by the artist along the border zone of technology, biology, imagination and art.
[Bec’s work] suggests that [artificial life forms] may one day be as honed for survival as lions, leopards, or even the indestructible bacteria. Bec says that his [creations] illustrate the variety of creatures scientists may [generate] through the powerful technique of technomorphogenesis, when technology and biology join hands.
Images and captions accompanying the article “MechAnimals” by Tom Dworetzky, appearing in the March 1991 issue of OMNI magazine. Additional details on Bec’s “technomorphs” are frustratingly difficult to locate online, but please also see

Images I found online some time in the early 2000′s by an artist identified only as TATRO. These surreal 3D creations, described by the artist as Multireplicants, very closely approach my ideal of feral self-replicating nanotech organisms or other such forms of post-Singularity “synthetic wildlife.”

Just some pet-peeves I see a LOT of robotics engineers doing. Come on guys, medical androids don’t have to be scary! It’s not the 1940s any more.

I’ve always wanted to do a Haynes style manual cover. I love how they look, and thought it would be interesting to do one for Mercie, showing off all the RAM stacks and drum memory cylinders in her head.
Take care of your droids. They have feelings, too.

Going to get back on track with my personal art by drawing some art of Mercie, my alternate history 1950s nurse droid, this month. Get ready for Mercie May!

These violent delights have violent ends.
In HBO’s Westworld, human-like robots populate a theme park where human guests can have violent, gory adventures in the Wild West without the repercussions. The robots are so lifelike that they fool the visitors and themselves. They bleed, die, grieve, and love—thinking themselves human.
“The human mind is not some golden benchmark glimmering on a green and distant hill,” park owner Robert Ford at one point tells his colleague Bernard, whose robotic nature remains unknown even to himself for much of the first season. Ford is convinced that there’s nothing special about human consciousness that marks the difference between a robot’s mind and ours. But as Westworld’s robots grow increasingly independent of their repetitive, programmed loops, the show incites viewers to question whether AI can truly be autonomous or conscious—and who in this story deserves empathy.

When welcome to night vale said: Sleep heavily and know that I am here with you. The past is gone, and cannot harm you anymore. And while the future is fast coming for you, it always flinches first, and settles in as the gentle present. This now, this us, we can cope with that. We can do this together you and I.
