Rosie the Robot For a More Civilized Time... posted on July 7, 2007 12:28 PM by rethwyll.
Now that there is a rethwyll 2.0 currently under construction, our household is going through some major upheavals. Namely, "OMFG WHERE ARE WE GOING TO PUT A KID??" As such, we are madly occupied in revamping our stupidest room, ie "That craptacularly stupid 8'x8' room OFF THE LIVING ROOM that no one in their RIGHT MIND would call a 5th bedroom, Mr. Real Estate Person" into the new library and moving our approximately 73,000 books out of what will become the nursery. (I say "we", although my role to this point has been mostly to point out that "that box of books is WAY too heavy for me to lift in my delicate condition" and that I should really "go back to my nap.")
So, we have this deliciously empty room just ready for some finishing touches (and books), and I can't think of anything that goes better with "library" than "elegantly nerdily awesome steampunk", which is why I'm poring over the galleries at keiththompsonart.com, especially this Karakuri print of a robot geisha. With that, I will have achieved the perfect synergy between my Japanese and retro-futurist obsessions...
Buy it! Karakuri Giclée Print (13"x19"), $40.00, from keiththompsonart.com.
