I’ve shown a fair amount of artistic pieces representing droids, but, with the exception of the droid conductor, none of a droid actually producing art.  It does not seem to be a thing often seen on this planet.

Therefore, I am quite happy to see this example of a droid creating artistic designs in sand.  Making its first appearance at Maker Faire 2008, the Sisyphus V is drawing incredibly lovely patterns that intrigue me.

Granted, this is more use of a droid to create art, but it seems a step in the right direction, all things considered.  I look forward to seeing more droids of this nature in the future.
