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…
