Grotesque and lovely animatronics

Roboticist film-maker John Nolan's gallery of animatronic creations is a treasure-trove of wonderful, grotesque creations in states of partial undress.

Previously:

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.

That is flat out the coolest thing I’ve seen in ages. The showreel on his site is just astonishing. So beautiful. So grotesque.

Cory, I was literally seconds away from going to bed when I did my nightly routine of setting an open Firefox window back to my homepage (BB). Now I have to stay up so that thing doesn’t follow me into my dreams where it will gnaw on things and make horrible screeching scraping noises with it’s teeth.

Gaaaaah.

I really don’t ‘get’ gross. Gross has no symmetry and symmetry is a factor that the human mind seeks.

I can’t imagine what he made the bananamatronic for!
