Me and Punk, in Peckham, South London. This shot, by my brother Richard Bradbury, was featured at the launch of Dot Robot - and I really wanted to show it to y’all. It’s based on an idea I’ve always had of taking Punk for a walk, like I imagine my characters Brooke or Jackson would. And we shot it on Jackson’s home turf of Peckham. In fact, if you’ve read the book, that tower block, is the one I imagine he lives in!

If you want to use it - just ask. I’ve got a nice high res version.

It was taken on the new Canon 5D Mk II, using a very cool ring flash to create the highlights and contrast.

Say hello to Punk, one of the robots from my new book Dot Robot. If you’re a new visitor you can find more videos and chat about the book in the Dot Robot category of this blog. To order it, ask your local book shop or try Puffin or Amazon.

Big thanks to the amazing Mike Strick, my friend and the very talented model maker who slaved over Punk for six weeks! See how he made him on his blog. And check out my mate Jono, who did the music.
