The story of SLODUNNY SERV02:

SERV02 was created for espionage and domestic spy work. He quickly tired of the duplicitous nature of his job and despaired even of living. Once, on assignment, he met and befriended several humans, realizing a love for humans and a joy in life he was missing. Coincidentally, SERV02 met Junky Jim, the "Ice Cream Tycoonin the Stars" and was offered the chance to purchase an astronaut ice cream shop on Venus. SERV02 had himself repainted a nice ice cream friendly shade, put a down payment on his new ice cream shop and is presently on his way to Venus. He plans on using his talents in espionage to predict a Venusian's favorite flavor of ice cream.

From the artist's web site:

What are slobots?

They are robot sculptures and paintings that have been consuming the majority of my artistic output for the last several years. The are comprised of found objects, everyday detritus, recyclable materials, toys, and traditional artist materials. While on some levels they still look like toys, they are constructed to be regarded as works of art.

About the surface finish of slobots:

The texture is a closely guarded secret formula, but it came about because i wanted the slobots to have a certain "feel" to them, that is of a government vehicle, a school bus, or something like that. The idea is that they have been painted and repainted many times, so that a thick layer of paint has built up over the years.

This piece was part of the exhibit Nonpareil, on view at NOWhere Limited Gallery in Nederland, Colorado from July 4-27, 2008.
