Russell
Chambers

Russell has been employed over the last forty years both freelance and fulltime as an advertising creative for a number of Auckland agencies, including Saatchis, HKM, DDB and Mojo. He’s also had contract work as an illustrator, SPFX sculptor, director and production designer for film production companies.

In the 1990s Russell was partner in his girlfriend’s fashion business, with stores on Ponsonby Road and Shortland Street in the CBD. He made regular appearances during this period as Krispy the Klown on ‘Boxdog’, a late-night video show on local Auckland television channel Max TV. As Robot Books, he has published a number of comic books and illustrated children’s books on Amazon in print and ebook editions.

In 2023 he became fascinated with the creative potential of AI and began experimenting enthusiastically with AI-generated still images over the next two years (his 100 Space Ladies series of ebooks created at this time is also available on Amazon). By mid-2025 Russell had started posting his AI-generated videos on his YouTube channel, Robot Television.
