bot-crossing


The return of bot-crossing

It occured to me recently that I have not released any Transformers or G.I.s since January. So I’m setting about correcting that. I’m printing up a new batch of JOE tags and will laminate them tonight and tomorrow I shall release a few in the city. I’ve also set up a bot-crossing page here at Spinneyhead rather than carrying on with the old blogspot blog which was a bit of a pain to keep up to date when it was so much easier just to upload pictures to here.

Transformed and GI Blues prints


Transformed 13 by ~Spinneyhead on deviantART

When Andy died I was given his rather large collection of Transformers and GI Joes and told to find something creative to do with them. Since then around 200 of them have found new homes all around the world through bot-crossing, but that still leaves a very big pile of them sitting in my studio.

The Transformed and GI Blues pictures are images of the jumbled robots and soldiers inspired by a shot I took whilst emptying Andy’s flat. They’re available to buy as prints.

Half of any profit I make will be going to Manchester Rag, an organisation Andy was closely involved with and if anybody who knew him would like a print I’ll try to get them one at cost price.

American readers can get prints through devintart- Transformed collection, GI Blues collection.

British and European readers can get prints through Photobox- Transformed album, GI Blues album. If you want to have a canvas print, or any number of other interesting things, click on the Create Product button and it will tell you if the resolution’s good enough and let you crop the image to fit if necessary.
