I know that I haven’t been very active on my own blog, that doesn’t mean that I haven’t been busy!
Sadly I can’t tell a lot about that….
I the meanwhile I made a Flickr gallery about Papertoy robots – part 1.
I hope you like it

A image that I made to promote Grumm and Son of a Grumm in particular on mySpace.
It seems to be working: the group of digital friends is slowly growing 😉
