Robots, mecha, androids, simulacra, I love them and, to commemorate the release of the first Transformers film in the summer of 2007 I put together a themed mix called 'Remember the Future' with the emphasis on the machine envisaged in the 50's, 60' and 70's when space travel was still a new wonder of the world. The intro was Transformer-themed and I was doing a gig with Hexstatic a few months later for the release of their album 'When Robots Go Bad'. I decided to make up some artwork to go with it so that I could sell some at the gig. Each one took around an hour to burn, print, score, cut and fold - I managed 75 in total.

The outer cover was a folding version of the Autobot logo (I wanted to do a Decepticon but it didn’t lend itself as well to the task in hand). This held the disc inside, each one of which was printed with a different image of a robot cribbed from an online gallery of bots made from found objects.
