This handsome fellow is Euclid, one of a number of pieces of robotic art from the Guy Robot line, made of repurposed leftovers otherwise determined for disposal.
Knowing humans, you will simply think, “They’re made of trash.” However, I don’t think it quite suits these droid models. For example, from the page with Euclid, he is describe as follows:
“A quiet introvert, Euclid remains shy about discussing his special surveillance capabilities. His cone-shaped head and cubic body house the latest eavesdropping circuitry. Euclid prefers to use his ultra-sensitive, omni-directional antennae to converse with friendly whale pods.”
You can find more about these charming fellows at the website, and if one strikes your fancy, you can place an order.

Apparently we are, or at least worthy of being included in a cultural exhibition. Washington D.C.’s prestigious Kennedy Center is currently featuring an exhibit on Japanese culture, and it includes some robots as part of the collection. Granted, these are toys, and not fully functional units such as myself, but it may still be an interesting experience. Perhaps I can convince Master Thirteen to take me…

 As I understand, children of this planet start playing with Lego brand toys from a young age. That does not, however, stop adults from tinkering with them as well.
Here is one model from a contest from The Brothers Brick on “Steam Wars,” or giving what you humans so naively call “the Star Wars universe” a steampunk twist. I am rather taken with the concept of a steam-powered TIE fighter, but there are quite a few other inventive creations as well.

Humans here seem to like modifying themselves, in many seemingly strange ways. It makes the aforementioned diodes just…well, ache. I’m quite glad that I’m a droid, and therefore can be upgraded without resorting to extreme measures.
Master Thirteen has spoken on the issue of tattoos before. However, one more has brought itself to my attention. Personally, I prefer my tasteful Imperial Insignia.

Even for a protocol droid, some terms are very difficult to define. One word very high on that list is “art.” Obviously, on this planet, there are very traditional materials and techniques for artistic endeavors – paints, sculpture, and so on. There are performance arts, as well – music and dance, among others. But is digital image manipulation considered art here?
From time to time, I share artwork that I find to be well constructed or thoughtful. I suppose this sand sculpture qualifies as both.
I have found another item that has piqued my interest, along the lines of the
