Everyone of Dan's Bots is a frothy confection of whimsey, style, mechanical expertise and just plain fun. I find myself hooting out loud in appreciation and delight every time I see one of his pieces. For myself, the retro look is the main draw but on further examination of each creation, it's the level of cleverness coupled with fabricating skills that gets my heart racing.
