I’m Alyson
I’m an artist from the Twin Cities
I create whimsical pictures of people as their robot-selves.
These lovingly hand-crafted “Robot-ification” drawings showcase a person’s endearing qualities, aspirations, and hobbies--the elements programmed into their personalities that make them uniquely wonderful.




How It Began
-
Robotifying started several years ago. when I drew a picture for my father’s birthday.He is an avid collector of robots so I imagined what he’d look as a robot and then added enhancements to robotify his personality.
​
-
He was starting a Keto diet so I added a ketosis meter.
​
-
Extra outlets for his devices were necessary for technophile dad.
​
-
Multiple apple watches, a food scoop for his pets, and other elements integral to his daily life and personality were added.
​
-
His nickname is “Captain” so I created the “Captain-Bot – New and Improved”.
​
-
He was delighted by the illustration and showed it to his friends and colleagues.
​
-
Soon, others were asking to Robotify their family, friends, and clients. I started up “Robotify You VIP” and a business was born.

The Robitify Process
I start by getting a list of attributes and a picture of the person being robotified. I then craft a customized robot incorporating every feature their robot self would need.
I produce two versions: A draft version and final version in high-resolution
Here’s an example:

I’ve created dozens of robots like this and every one of them has been warmly received, framed and displayed. They make excellent, highlypersonal (and professionally appropriate), long-cherished gifts.
Companies have even used them as portraits for top-achievers, revealing their Robotified portraits during award ceremonies.
