Ristow’s art includes moving sculptures and robots He describes his moving sculptures and robot performances as “a provocative mix of post-apocalyptic mayhem and playful iconoclasm” and has had his work featured in LA Magazine, LA Weekly and the Discovery Channel’s “Robots Rising”. He has also done animatronic work for various Hollywood movies. Ristow was also recently inducted into Jeremiah Weed’s campaign “BadAsses”, a group of men who embody the “badass” feeling of doing whatever they want to do.

Check out this short video below of Ristow showing off his fire-breathing robots. The video was produced by Jeremiah Weed.
