David Lipson builds custom one-of-a-kind robot sculptures made from random found objects old and new.
Born in Boston, Massachusetts, David studied at the Art Students League and the National Academy of Design in New York City. David had a successful 17-year career in the animation industry in both television and film, working on popular television programs including Lizzie McGuire (Disney), Saturday Night Live (NBC), The Venture Bros (Cartoon Network), The Howard Stern Show (CBS), and School House Rock (Disney) among others. In 2008, David began assembling found objects to create whimsical one-of-a-kind robot sculptures. He only uses nuts and bolts to assemble the robots – no welding. David's robots are in private and corporate collections worldwide, and have been shown in museums, books, magazines, and on television.
These sculptures serve as art pieces and are not intended for children.
