Robot Portraiture

Birth of a Robot Painting.
Steve at The Sneeze had an idea for a painting: "a real life battle between the toy classic Rock 'em Sock 'em Robots."
Eric Joyner happens to paint robots -- tin robots, to be exact, waging wars against giant donuts and exploring ancient ruins.
It was a match made in heaven.

That kicks ass in so many ways.

Ok, just one way, but it still kicks a lot of ass. Thanks.

nice! I actually recognize a number of the robots in the painting as guarding various points of my studio.

Excellent stuff all around. I really like Joyner's style. Thanks for the links, me3dia.

Ha! This is it then, the stuff, the élan vitale, the magickal essence, the elusive lumineferous æther...

I wondered where it would turn up.

I never realized it before, but all paintings should have robots. Thanks, me3dia.
