Artist Kenji Yanobe's creations are a whimsical look at post-apocalyptic survival technology, usually with a sort of manga bent and a pretty great sense of humor. "Foot Solider", for example (pictured), allows an army of one to stomp around the ruins like Godzilla. Real Geiger counters are installed, just as a little menacing reminder of the real dangers these creations are born of, and possibly, into. Yanobe likes to espouse a little suitably playful paranoia about it all : "I am just making things for what I need now and for my family."

We're linking to two fresh posts over at we make money not art which link to and briefly discuss examples of Kenji Yanobe's work. His website with an indexed gallery is here.
