Took's Interests

General

->(click the "pause" button the music player if you don't want to hear my current song)<-

Art-o-mat®, Matt Gordon + Neptune Grizzly, CROWS, Goats, & always adding to my huge collection of strange musical instruments that I cannot play.

Music

My 2nd Art-o-mat® machine is from Clark Whittington's "Rust Bucket" series. I call this one "Buckety". This machine is basically in the same shape/state that it was in when Clark acquired it. It has been cleaned up a little bit and clear coated (you won't get rusty when you use it). Colored lights were added in the nameplate.
Tres cool, eh???

Buckety can be found at:

PULL THE KNOB -- but don’t pull the machine over! (remember, this is a professional Derby Girl!)

About me:

Who I'd like to meet:

Founded in Winston-Salem, NC in 1997 by artist Clark Whittington, Artists in Cellophane is an arts group that converts retired cigarette machines into Art-o-mat® original art vending machines. Over 400 artists from 11 countries are presently involved in this project.

Since I do not have my own storefront (or museum/gallery/etc.), my machines are known as "Community" machines and I move them from time to time to different venues. (Click on the large Greeny image to see other Art-o-mat® machines and locations)
Greeny has moved to Ann Arbor! His new home is Liberty Street Robot Supply and Repair.

Storefront Photo by Gregory Lee

The robot shop is the storefront operation for 826michigan, a nonprofit writing center that provides free academic and literary arts programs to local young people. The programs aim to teach the skill of writing but also to give students unique and creative opportunities to engage with their community, to express themselves distinctly and confidently and to prepare young people for their futures. 826michigan serves about 1500 students each year with writing and tutoring programs.

Here are a few more pics from Liberty Street Robot Supply and Repair

Helpful and highly-trained Staff Member demonstrates the proper steps needed to operate an Art-o-mat® machine

1. Choose Your Art

2. Insert Your $5 Bill (old style bill ONLY, for now)

3. Listen for the “Click” -- this step is VERY important...it lets you know that Greeny has recognized your $5 and is ready to vend

4. Pull the Knob

5. Enjoy Your New Art

Christine	May 23 2008 5:54 PM Hey Took, did you see that Drew Barrymore was here in Ypsilanti scouting out locations for her new movie "Whip It" about roller derby girls!!! I'm so excited and we've been planning to go to the Derby in D but haven't made it yet (it requires a lot of coordination like babysitters and such)... Just wanted to mention it. Hopefully we will meet one of these days. Art-o-Mat lives!
albinocrow	May 21 2008 10:52 PM I just love this art-o-mat concept. so you are the keeper of the green machine? I just signed up for the newsletter because I would like to learn more about it. I am confused but then again, confusion seems to be my norm lately. Thanks for your lovely comments on my crow/cat stuff!
Mytilene	May 21 2008 1:29 PM I visited the "Buckety" machine at Detroit Comics and saw my Scribe O'Rice column! That is the most vindicating thing ever! Oh wait, maybe that's VENDicating! Yeah, I'm a dork =) but I can write really tiny on grains of rice... kind of evens out!
