This work of art is a collaborative effort of Jackie Apessos and myself Stephen Marks. Basically I start with one item that I’m drawn to and just keep adding to it til I think it’s done, in this piece it was the pottery head that Jackie made and I added the tin and the other items.

The product is a rare 28 tall poseable robot man sculpture toy created by artist Don Ellefson from Chicago, Illinois in 1980. Handmade from wood, this unique piece combines elements of Contemporary Art, Modernism, and Folk Art. With a jointed construction, this one-of-a-kind sculpture features a modern twist on the theme of men and robots, making it a standout piece for any art collection. This is a lovely piece in good condition that would look great in your home or being played with by the little ones. The whole thing works on the idea that all the joints have bolts through them and if you want to change the pose you loosen the bolt, articulate the joint as desired, and then tighten the bolt again. He stands just a bit over 28 inches tall so he’s over 2 feet tall which is a pretty good size. This wonderful toy is in good condition but it is several decades old so mild issues may exist, wood has minor marks on it from either use or storage, it is not major and it is hard to see without looking for it but it’s there and I thought you should know. Please look over the photos I took, please take note of the different ways the toys is posed, one way he’s standing up straight and in another he’s taking on the “Captain Morgan” pirate look. This is to show how stable this piece is once you pose it.

This guy is made from rich lighter pine wrenchs and some other miscellaneous parts finished with spray on urethane. Wood found in the deep east Texas woods. I carve using rotary tool, grinding tools, chainsaw, and then give it a nice sanding then a finish. Please contact me with any questions or concerns regarding any of my pieces I will be more than happy to help if I can. MY CARVINGS ARE MADE FROM RECYCLED TREE LOGS. A BIT OF CHECKING / CRACKING IS THE NATURE OF CHAINSAW CARVINGS. TO KEEP CRACKS TO A MINIMUM PLACE YOUR CARVING AWAY FROM EXCESSIVE HEAT OR SUN. AN IDEAL PLACE FOR A WOOD CARVING IS OUTDOORS UNDER AN OVERHANG OR IN SHADE.
