Sleepy Robot 13

Visual Art – Cleveland

My name is Lisastardchild Pinkston. Lisastarchild is my real first name (no my mother wasn\'t a hippy) lol! I am Cleveland, Ohio native and the creator of Sleepy Robot 13. I create small hand sculpted polymer clay robots that are bursting with personality! I started sculpting when I was 8 years old. I took a break when I was 18 so I could face the real world and took on 2 full time jobs. It wasn\'t until I was 23 that I picked it back up. My life revolves around the arts. Music, film, dance. I love it all. I am an avid toy collector and find inspiration in today\'s vinyl and resin art toy movement. Sleepy Robot 13 is a handmade business I started in late 2009 via Etsy . At the time I had just lost my job and my mother. I was going through a deep depression. I started the company as a way to make a little money to keep my rent and bills paid while I looked for a new job. Thanks to the success of Sleepy Robot 13 in a little over 6 months I was able to stop my job search, overcome my depression and focus on crafting full time. Sleepy robots are little polymer clay robots that invite big smiles! Each robot is individually sculpted by hand, making each one unique in its own way.
