Over time, our digital footprints add up and create a cyber world that starts to take on some of that very same messiness. Change a font or a layout or where something is, and it bothers us. You can take advantage of that need for comfort by making your digital work a little less sterile, a bit less squared off. Seth Godin
As I told Tim recently:
“I’ve stumbled upon Lain Sellar and Zoe Veness and find their work amazing. It’s something about hand drawn, black and white, stuff that gets me.”
That’s the logic behind the design of this blog. It’s not quite hand-drawn (like this piece by Zoe), but it’s not glossy by any means. There are plenty of web designers out there that can do slick. I want to do more “less squared off.”
This morning I sent a text message that said, “I just uploaded new photos to Etsy.” My robots have been photographed and organized. I’ve got my PayPal account dusted off and ready to roll. I’m even sending off my first order this afternoon, which is a nice feeling.
Thanks, everyone, for “LIKING” my robots over the past year and a half. You were an inspiration in this: Seth W. Robots on Etsy.

Seth W. Robot Art. I’ve been working on these for the past few years, just casually drawing them and posting them on Twitter or Instagram on occasion. The response has been great, which has led me to pursue it a bit more.
