You gotta love how the writer of the article immediately disclaims that his art is "science fiction", since, of course, science fiction can't be art. Just because Conte creates fictional pieces inspired by the science of robotics, doesn't mean the writer has to admit to liking science fiction!
Beveled display stands and all. Makes my stuff look sophomoric. Damn him.
I feel like I've seen this post about 5 times already. Am I crazy?
#4: you're not crazy - there have been at least two previous posts on the work of Christopher Conte, though they all link to different articles
