Strange and Beautiful Junk Robots

russian_robots

These unusual robots were featured on the oddly named Russian website Ribbon Comedy Eye Girls. For some reason, the title of the site makes me think of The Girl With the Dragon Tattoo….

toy grandfather clock

Designer Ryan McElhinney must be a fan of Katamari Damacy…; some of his lovely creations are basically huge mishmashes of toys that form what would mundane or traditional household fixtures, like this grandfather clock.
