Indie Business Featurette: rory robot

March 30th, 2006

wanna little robot love?

robot love

and how about a little more?

robot love

interested in more? check out the following message from the artist! rory robot:

I have been drawing variations of 4 base robots for years. Originally they were a comic I did called Robot Love. Eventually I gave up the comic and just started painting them. It’s been awhile since I’ve painted them but I am super motivated and stoked about this!! I am currently working on 6 commissions so there will be a bit of a wait. I’m doing a group show in LA in October at Monkeyhouse Toys: www.monkeyhousetoys.com

My prices are based on 4 factors:
a)my time
b)my concept
c)canvas size
d)materials cost
Just message me with which size canvas you would like and I’ll quote you a price. I can also get trianglar and circular canvas.
I can commission a piece for you. Either a map background similar to the posted photo’s or a solid colour. The robot can be any colour combination you desire using up to 3 colours. Any of the colours can be made metallic if you like. You can include a name in the piece either as a banner or a nametag on the actual robot. It can be either happy or crazed in attitude/facial expression. No two paintings will be exactly the same just as no two robots will be exactly the same. You cover the cost of shipping. I will call Purolator or UPS for details with the measurements. I will accept certified cheque or a money order as payment. I am so excited to have the motivation to paint again!
Let me know if you’re interested…..

If you are interested in placing and order with Rory please shoot me an email (admin@wayofthebrood.com) and I’ll put you in touch with her.

Indie Business Featurette: Button Arcade

March 12th, 2006

As I mentioned on the old version of our blog. I didn’t expect to receive so much traffic on this blog since I set it up just for the forum users to have a place to “go” to when there are forum issues and see if I’m working on the resolution or not. SO I decided to use this space wisely and do little featurettes on indie businesses that are either owned by parents who are members of the brood or recommended by members of the brood.

So first up is Button Arcade!

I love love love Button Arcade swag. But I really wanted to mention a cute item that they whip up:

Belly Buttons!!!

BUTTONARCADE.COM

I think its such a cute way to announce your new bean to be! I could just imagine mailing little notes to relatives & friends with a belly button enclosed to announce what you are having.

One of my most favourite things that the Button Arcade people make are Felt Monster Buttons!

They come in these cute little packages ^_^

buttonarcade.com

Another one of my favourite things are Irked Pincushions!

buttonarcade.com

C’mon how insanely cool are they?

Please check out their site www.buttonarcade.com and all the other awesome stuff they have!

Support indie businesses!!! ^_^
