We are here.   We are home."

Brooklyn Bumblebee was made from the same stuff that we all have
in our homes or around us in nearby stores,  available to everyone.
Only one online purchase.

Proudly protecting all life - human or otherwise - as well as freedom,
New York,  and all forms of artistic expression.


This widely-seen artwork of 'Bayformer' Bee was my main design guide.
Because the character is only 18' tall and comparatively smaller,  he is much more detailed.
Using four large,  heavy tires was a major challenge,  as everything must be balanced.
Every bolt,  nut,  & washer adds up,  which is why he weighs 145 lbs.
Behind what you see is a complex,  redundant structure.   Built to last.   Built in Brooklyn.
I design my exoskeletons for movement,  despite the heavy weight and intricate structure.
Every performance is a physical event,  and very demanding...so be kind...and offer me water.

"I will help to stimulate the economy...ahem..."



"Though I'm from another planet,  I still have a sense of style."

"Now that's a good lookin' autonomous robotic - Oh,  that's me...yeah!"



"Does this one keep Cybertronian time?   Oooh,  it's shiny!"



                                                                     - Alan Camuto
"So,  I have to sign up for the card to get the discount?"



"I need to cover some scratches...I've been in a lot of fights lately..."



"Ugggh,  stairs!   Humans and their stairs!"



"Mission accomplished!   Back to protecting humans..."
