BBtv co-editor David Pescovitz takes a trip into the alternate reality of pop surrealist artist Tim Biskup. And it's definitely a trip. Then, sculptor Chris Yates demonstrates how he makes a Diesel Sweeties wooden Red Robot from start to finish, slightly faster than normal.

I really enjoyed hearing Tim talk about his artistic process. Thanks for sharing this with us.

Wow...so Biskup is pretty lame, eh? I mean, his art is good, but he's pretty loser-y as a person.

"Loser-y"? Ummm.... no.

So, JoFlow, are you a loser? Can't fault me for asking -- fair's fair, after all.

I just recently realized that Chris Yates is the reason I found Boing Boing. I found Yates through either Questionable Content or Scarygoround, both of which I found through Diesel Sweeties.

So it comes full circle.
