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.

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.
