From Inhabitat: Artist Brandon Jon Blommaert's recycled trash robots (yes, they're real sculptures) lay waste to Photoshopped landscapes. Check out his flickr page for more - and a "making of" series of photos showing how he built these steampunky robot overlords, who are destined for a Canadian recycling center. Their message is clear: RECYCLE, HUMANITY, OR BE EXTERMINATED!

Thanks to reader Todd F. for the heads-up!

I am very pleased to be a part of the trend of art and recycling/recycled materials united to share a green message. Adding robots to the mix inevitably makes it full of WIN!
