C'MON!! Gobicraft, NOT Hovercraft

I am REALLY excited about this post. This delves deep in to the Gobi. This is getting to a near perfect ten for All Thing Gobi. You can compare ratios with this Gobicraft to our special friend in my first post. (Peepin' Scene Monkey). Small windows (small eyes of the monkey), Over-sized Segmented Skirt, that is the bottom of the hovercraft (belly of the monkey) and awkward fan placement and size ratio (nose of the monkey). When these elements are combined the Gobi is born. Notice that the craft is low and wide, and the majority of this thing is flat.
*Awkward and unassuming is another key element to the Gobi standard.


Submission 1

Dear Gobiest Mcbaxgwain,
This Gobi has been lurking in my art studio over here on the Big Island for the last year and a half. It critiques the shit out of me on a daily basis. Is there anything I can do?

Thank you for your time,
Chainface's bigger blonder brother



Thanks CBBB for the email & submission-
Looks like you have a classic case of GSS. Gobi Spotting Syndrome. This is a good thing, trust me. I do not think you can do much about this Gobi critiquing you, you need to give in to it. Let it help your creativity. Remember, Gobi counts.
The photo you sent has classic Gobi'esque qualities. All though the proportions are too even, and subject matter is somewhat low on the obscurity scale (which is OK, I posted the mirror so no sweat) - the surface matter, shape and color fall in to the Gobi guidelines.
Talk to you soon,
GMBG

Good to see people are starting to catch on. This submission came to me from Hawaii on June 29th, 2008. If you would like to submit any Gobi finds, have questions or comments, don't hesitate to contact me. Many thanks, GMBG.

Feelin' the environment

I have to give it up to my man Max over at VLU for tuning in to this Gobi jam. Max has been with it (Gobi spottings) for years now...  Thanks for the contribution!

Keyword "Smooth"

Currently I am building a Gobi Guidelines manual. I will post it ASAP, in the meantime I will post a few key elements to a perfect Gobi. Smooth surfaces gets BOSS points when looking for Gobi matter. Getting it yet?

Obvious

This will be one of the only "obvious" posts I make.  Since this is just the start of the game, thought I would throw out a freebee. Enjoy this spectacular display of Gobi.

Transporting the Gob'z.

Headed south on the 405, scorching day, what do I see??? A very small but well crafted NEW Gobi being transported to the OC, with possibly some more Gobi items? I wish... 

Euro dream

During a recent trip to Germany, I had a few Gobi sightings. This one stood out to me. Please note again, the amazing back tire to fender size ratio. How is that rear fender cusping over the wheel!??  Amazing combo. I want to meet the designer of this, let him know he sculpted a beautiful display of Gobi. Hats off...

Peepin' scene.

Pretty much everything about this amazing friend is Gobi. Look at the size relationship of the nose and the eyes, this ratio is a dead ringer for Gobi matter. The belly situation is wild, very Gobi. Glad this is the first post. Warming you up. 

Info from the desk of Gobi McBaxgwain

Here we go... This blog is dedicated to my obsession with All Things Gobi. I knew I would not have to check the URL availability on this blog name, so that lessened my stress on getting this just right.  No need for me to describe the essence of Gobi, ill let the images speak for them self. Enjoy!
