Robot blender

New painting

Most of my robots are on little pieces of paper, but this one is on a 12"x12" canvas. At first it was on a yellow background like the other robot blender I made a while back (go here and scroll down to see it), but on the big canvas the yellow looked terrible. I decided to redo the background into a kitchen with very tacky wallpaper.



I like this robot. I hung him on the wall, and now I feel like he's watching out for me whenever I go into the kitchen. In a way, it's kind of comforting, but I think if I really had appliances that watched me, it would feel like an invasion of privacy. Maybe someday we'll all have futuristic houses with appliances that communicate with us, but I hope they are built to include a privacy option... some button you can press that means "Don't talk to me, any of you! And turn off your damn sensors while you're at it!" Sometimes I don't want my appliances to give me advice or make friendly conversation. Sometimes I just want to be alone.
