Robots And Monsters (For Charity)

Writing by Evan Ackerman on Tuesday, 21 of October , 2008 at 4:36 am

The best way to make a charitable donation is when you get something wicked cool in return. I mean, otherwise you’re just giving money away. RobotsAndMonsters.org is a “charitable menagerie” of original robot (and monster) artwork that you can get a piece of. For $50, most of which goes to charity, you get your very own 6″ by 6″ piece original robot (or monster) artwork, done by one of a number of artists. It’s not just any robot (or monster), either… It’ll be a robot (or monster) defined by three words that you specify. The above image, for example, is called “Roughrider” and was inspired by the words cowboy, eyeballs, and jaunty.

This quarter, the charity of choice is the Electronic Frontier Foundation, who is busy defending your right to make legal backups of DVDs you have legally purchased. ::cough:: Last quarter, the charity was the SF AIDS Foundation, for whom RobotsAndMonsters.org raised a whopping $11,890.

You can check out a bunch of robots (and monsters) on Flickr, and order a robot (or monster) for you or someone extra special here.
