Watchbot Time of the Butterflies at Laluzapalooza

Last you heard, the watchbot time machine traveled through time to the walls of the Art of Literature show at the Bleicher/Golightly Gallery at 1431 Ocean Park Avenue. But even with the assistance of a Watchbot Time Machine, nothing lasts forever. That showing will come to an end on Wednesday, March 6, 2013.  Catch it while you can.

But fear not, the magic of the Watchbots is with us still, and returning again soon, quite soon. In fact, this soon:

 Just follow this winged lass, Ave Rose, to La Luz de la Jesus at 4633 Hollywood Blvd.

Featured here, Ave Rose in wings, getting in touch with her butterfly side.

 

For she will bring you more from the watchbots and the butterflies.

Meet Butterfly Master Zona at La Luz de La Jesus

Opening is this Friday night, March 1, 2013, 8-11pm.

Showing until March 31, 2013

Gallery hours 11-7 Monday thru Wednesday, 11-9 Thursday thru Saturday, 12-6 Sunday

Watch the watchbots come to life right here: 

Time Travel to this Saturday, February 16, 2013

Feeling stuck in the present? Are you too future-minded to be thinking about the now? Or maybe the best of life is lost in the memories... don't you just wish you could do it all again?

Well, we and the watchbots feel ya.
Because when it comes to time travel, the time is now. Also then. Plus later on too.
But mostly, this Saturday night at the  Bleicher/Golightly Gallery it will be, and has been, and always continues to be:

The Art Inspired by Literature Group Show

The Bleicher/Golightly Gallery

1431 Ocean Avenue

Santa Monica, CA

Opening Saturday, February 16th

7:30-9:30 p.m.
(Show runs through March 6th)

And what better literary inspiration than

THE TIME MACHINE
 will be brought to you by

Mother Ave Rose

Naughty little Ave Rose Bud. After all, it is Valentine's season.

  H.G. Wells 

The man himself, perhaps pensively staring off in time, or at that picture up above. Yowza.

and the citizens of Watchbot World

This little guy is about to get Nascar on a time machine!

have been been working hard to bring you the watchbot rendition of the Time Machine this weekend. This project is the only watchbot creation of its kind. You snooze, you lose!

Stop Motion Sneak Preview Right Here:

But that's not all that literature has in store for you.
Because if there are any questions, that question is sure to be

Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep?

Better known as Bladerunner!

the Phillip K. Dick work
that inspired Treiops Treyfid

Treoips makes an android this Saturday night!

for his contribution to this show 

A muse for the Art Inspired by Literature Show, Rachel Replicant

means a little of this:
