In preperation for the upcoming DC Freshly Squeezed exhibition, I am having my painting art robot paint more and more of my hand drawn robots. Originally, I was calling this my robot in shades series, but over time the shades have become gasmasks. In fact the last couple of robots I have drawn or painted all have gasmasks. I would love to tell you it was symbolic for something like “man’s hubris in its destruction of the environment,” but there is no symbolism. They are just pictures of robot’s with gasmasks.
This particular painting set, the top of which was hand painted, and the bottom which was painted by my robot, is a take off of those old robotech cartoons. It is a robotech style robot with a gasmask. While thinking about it I realized that Robotech as transforming robots far pre-dated Transformers, but for some reasons Transformers are more popular. It must have something to do with the fact that Transformers are robots in and of themselves, while robotech robots were driven by humans.
Anyways, like all my art work, this is for sale on my online store. See the links on the sidebar. Also it will be on display at DC Freshly Squeezed (Opening Night September 13). See my previous blogs for the flier…

One of the most popular subjects for paintings by Zanelle, my painting robot, is famous robots from popular culture.
C-3PO Triptych, 40″x16″, Acrylic on Three Canvases
Though not as popular as R2-D2 paintings, C-3PO definitely has his fans. This painting was made by my painting robot using a scan algorithm. All strokes are perfectly vertical. this piece has been on exhibition at the Corcoran alongside a similar R2-D2 piece that sold. All my art work is for sale, of course. Check out my online store (link in the sidebar) for purchase information…

I have made another robotic painting of a previously hand painted original. The subject is “nobot” which I have featured in a previous blog posting. The two paintings are below.
These paintings as well as multiple others will be showcased at an upcoming exhibition called DC Freshly Squeezed in Washington DC on September 13, 2008. I will have paintings in the show priced between $100 and $1200. Also check out my ebay store (link in sidebar) to see prices on my other art.

My recent work begins with an idea, and then a single hand painted image. In this case a robotic octopus wearing a gas mask. The image is below…
Robotic Octopus with Gas Mask, 9″x12″, Acrylic on Canvas
Then based on this image, I create several robotic painted prints. When I say prints, printmakers say it is not a print. When I call these paintings, painters tell me they are not paintings. I am not sure what they are, I just like doing them. Below are three canvases painted by my robot, based on the original hand painted canvas.
Robotic Octopus with Gas Mask, 60″x24″, Acrylic on Canvas
This triptych is much larger than the original and will be on display at my next group exhibition. See my last post for details of when and where…
