we have been blogged!

It seems that thanks to my flickr site people have been discovering my robots. This is the first of almost a dozen write-ups i found just with a google search. Thanks to everyone who checked out my work and said such nice words about it. It means a lot. Please check out these blogs when you can.

blues for a kitchen table

This is my kitchen table. It is amazing that anything can come of all this mess. I try to explain to my wife that this is how i work.
I need all this junk around to do the work that i do. If you think this is bad you should see the coffee table. (rim shot)

Robots at Wizard World Boston

Gammaraybots was present and counted for at Wizard World Boston last year. These are some pictures from the Wizard web site. We met a lot of people and sold a lot of robots. It was a great show for many people. The promoters however have decided not to bring it back this year booooo. Thanks to all of those who came and checked out my booth. Lets hope for a return to Boston next year.

Blast from the past

I was looking at some old photos the other day and came across old blue here. This is my first all metal robot sculpture. I made this a few years ago. It is made of metal mint tins and nuts and bolts. I hate it because it's sloppy and too simple and i love it because it was the starting point for the work I do now. I think that I sold this on Ebay for $10.00.

My munny won runner up!

I didn't win but I did make the top ten runner-ups. This was a lot of fun to make and enter in the contest. I only had a month to do it . I found out about the contest way late and had to work hard to finish. The new munnys are out now. I am thinking of taking a break from the robots and paint some vinyl.

This is my entry to the 2005 Kid Robot Munny design contest. I stole parts from some beloved tie fighter ships to do it. If you haven't already check out the entries on the contest page.

Wecome to gammaraybots!

Hello all. My name is Tom Torrey and I am a sculptor from the Boston area. I have been sculpting robots and spaceships out of found objects for a number of years. I am starting this blog to bring you some of my art and share some of my thoughts with you. I will try to update this every few days or so with some up to date news and current robot events. Thanks and enjoy.
