Hand-Crafted Robot Costumes

Peter Kokis is not your everyday artist. He chooses to express himself by creating incredibly detailed hand-crafted robot costumes out of 100% recycled materials, garbage and junk! Some of these costumes take him over 500 hours to build and can weigh as much as 170 lbs.

Once the costumes are completed he takes to the streets of Brooklyn and all over New York, and most certainly gets a reaction.

Whether you grew up thinking robots looked like characters from the Jetsons, or like Peter have fallen into the Transformers influence, one thing is easy to agree on, these sure are incredible robot costumes.

“I look at the shape of objects and see their potential to portray something, Virtually everything can be changed to suit my needs: re-shaped, cut-down, painted…altered in my ‘foundry’, to be seen as something else.” – Peter Kokis
