It is Wednesday, and time for our first Wednesday Robot sketch, and quite a fine fellow this robot turned out to be.
Remember, if you want to submit a sketch or three of your own for inclusion in Rayguns! Robots! Rocketships!, email your pictures to spacebase8@gmail.com. Readers of Space Base 8 would really dig seeing your creations! Don’t forget to tell me your name and give an URL so I can link to your site.
Hey, it’s Robot Sketch Wednesday! And today we have our first guest sketch, sent in to us by none other than my friend Don Ahe, creator of the wonderful webcomic Road Apples Almanac. Don says this guy is called Lampost, and he’s a relative to Lighthouse. I dig it, Don, thanks so much!
Don sent in his robot sketch, why not send me one of yours? I’d like to post it in the blog to share with Space Base ‘s readers. Email your sketch of a raygun, robot, or rocketship to spacebase8@gmail.com. I can’t wait to see it!
Don isn’t the only
Rayguns! Robots! Rocketships!Wednesdays are for robot sketches, and here one comes now.
I think he is waiting for you to pass him the spaceketball.

It’s Robot Wednesday!This guy is some sort of Musical Mechanical Man. A bass player. Did you know the Doors had no bass player? They were a three man band, with no bass player. Who played bass for them? Was it this robot? Let me know. Leave a comment.
I want to feature your sci-fi art too! Email me with your Raygun, Robot, or Rocketship art and I will post it in the blog for all the Space Base 8 readers to see. Emailspacebase8@gmail.com, and include your sketch, name and website URL if you have one.
Today’s wonderful robot was sketched by my friend Eric Scales, illustrator extraordinaire. You have, of course, seen his blog, The Ol’ Sketchbook, right? Of course you have, because you are one of the hip crowd. Look for another robot sketch from Mr. Scales next Wednesday, too. Thanks, Eric, for the awesome sketch!
RAY GUNS! ROBOTS! ROCKETSHIPS!

I want to feature your sci-fi art too! Email me your Raygun, Robot, or Rocketship art and I will post it in the blog for all the Space Base 8 readers to see.

Illustrator Eric Scales, he of The Ol’ Sketchbook, has done it again! You can tell this robot he sketched certainly has a job to do, what with the control panel hand and the radar dish ears. And want to see the best of robot couture? Titanium alloy high collars are back this season. Ohh la-la. Check out last week’s Robot Wednesday for another rockin’ robot sketch from Eric.

Did you know that there is a Space Base 8 book now available? It’s called Space Base 8 Book 1: BLAST OFF! It collects the first year and a half of comic strips from Space Base 8. You can get a printed book, a signed artist edition complete with personalized sketch, or an ebook version. Click BUY THE BOOK in the menubar above the comic, or just click here to get your copy.
Here’s another excellent cartoon from John Sutton of The Petri Dish, that awesome cyborg-mad scientist-intelligent squirrel webomic I’ve been telling you guys about. I like how the scary battlebot has a tiny smiley face head. Way cute!
Everyone go check out The Petri Dish. Is so funny.

Today’s robot is a tribute to the webcomic The Petri Dish by John Sutton. John has been kind enough to send lots of guest art to fill the Space Base 8 blog lately, so in return I have painted a picture of Bob (B.O.B. for Brains On Board), whom you will find toddling around in the comics over there at The Petri Dish.
I don’t do much watercolor painting outside of my day job, and I’m glad to have the chance to do some comic strip character watercolors. I think I’ll do some other watercolor paintings for RRR and share them with you all soon!

If you’ve ever visited the comments at Space Base 8, you may have seen encouraging words from Danica Sevilla, today’s artist for Robot Wednesday. I call her First Fan Dani, because she followed my blog, Monkey Always Wins, where I documented the creation of Space Base 8. She was a Space Base 8 fan even before the first comic strip was posted. Now that’s a Number One Fan!
Over at Dani’s blog, Baring My Heart, she posted a really cool piece about Space Base 8 and our longtime internet friendship, and about how a girl from Down Under may (eventually) get to go to Disneyland. Check it out.
Here’s another robot by Dani. So cool!
Thanks so much to you, Dani, for the artwork and the support over these last few years. You really are Number One.
