Superb ray-gun junk sculptures

Flickr user Tinkerbots creates and photographs beautiful raygun and robot assemblage sculptures made from techno-junk. I am SUCH a sucker for raygun sculptures. Tinkerbots's blasters drive a fishhook straight into my desiderata gland.

I write books. My latest is a YA science fiction novel called Homeland (it's the sequel to Little Brother). More books: Rapture of the Nerds (a novel, with Charlie Stross); With a Little Help (short stories); and The Great Big Beautiful Tomorrow (novella and nonfic). I speak all over the place and I tweet and tumble, too.

Oh man, that first one. Something about the picture made me not understand perspective. I thought it was taller than a human. It was like reverse tilt shifting. Tfihs-tlitting, if you will.

That top one looks like something Octobriana would have used.

Wow. Is Cory feeling ok? He forgot to say “steampunk” :-)

If you like that stuff, check out the gallery of a metal sculptor I used to know, Daniel Fiorda. http://www.danielfiorda.com/Portfolio/GunSeries/GunSeries.html

The guns are a little more abstract, but much more visceral. The other galleries are even more impressive, in my opinion.
