Weekend of Wonder: The incredible animatronic sculptures of Thomas Kuntz

Artist Thomas Kuntz constructs fantastic animatronic mechanisms that recreate scenes from the best nightmares you've ever had.

Thomas Kuntz combines his talents as a figure sculptor, painter, designer, engineer, machinist, and automata maker to construct fantastic animatronic mechanisms that recreate scenes from the best nightmares you've ever had. Jason and I had the opportunity to see Thomas and his work in person at Beyond Brookledge earlier this year, and we were blown away by the beauty and complexity of his work. We are thrilled to announce that Thomas is coming to Weekend of Wonder and his animatronic sculptures will be on display there. We are all in for a real treat!

Alchemyst's Clocktower FIRE!: A behind the scenes test shot in preparation for the Carnival of Astounding Art show at the Oceanside Museum. In the museum no pyrotechnics are allowed but this machine has it built in with lots of other surprises if called upon! It was originally built for my Spiritroom a twin was made for a Client back in 2008. The Tower , four years in the making is currently on static display at the Oceanside Museum…. But will come alive at announced events and special occasions such as the upcoming Art after Dark show in October! Thanks to all who attended the opening night, you made my heart full and I hope you had fun. #oceansidemuseum #carnivalofastoundingart #thomaskuntzsculptor #automatonmaker #haxanthrobo #haxanthrobotics #alchemystsclocktower #pyrotecnics
