Robots and Monsters for Charity

Robots and Monsters is a website founded by illustrator Joe Alterio
to raise funds for a quartely changing charitable cause. The way it works is simple: You supply $50 and three words - any 3 words, and in return you get a 6"x6" original signed piece of art that more or less interprets your three words. In the form of a robot and/or monster that is. The example below was imagined from the words - cowboy, eyeballs, jaunty. Works for me.
The current cause is the Electronic Frontier Foundation
a group dedicated to to defending citizens rights in the ever evolving digital age.Link

Styrobots

Michael Salter creates these robot sculptures out of Styrofoam packing material. They've been shown in galleries around the world. I wonder how he packs them for shipping :) Link
