I am not a robot. I'm a tree.

I made this painting for a coworker. It was inspired by this news article from last month about a guy who disguised himself as a tree to rob a bank. The robot does not rob banks, I don't think. He's just trying to connect with nature, or be invisible for a while.

Music-loving robot with headphones

This little painting was a gift for a robot-appreciative coworker. I think he sort of looks like a Jazzercise instructor (the robot, not the coworker).

I am feeling texty

That's the name of my latest robot painting.

I think the bars on his head kind of make him look like an advertisement, but I like him anyway.

Oh, and I also made this flame lady:

I like her, too.

Cloud view

View out the plane window

That's the view from my window seat on an early morning flight the other day. The pretty sky kinda-sorta-almost made up for the fact that my flight the night before was canceled.

Love Maze

I made a little painting for a friend who's been having some romantic troubles:



It's kind of hard to see, so here's a close up of a piece:



And another piece:



Basically, the idea behind it is that love is a really complicated thing, but sometimes along the way, you find other stuff that's lots of fun (like random boys, or roller skates, or a vintage dress, or a mix CD).

I don't love how it looks in the scan, but I keep telling myself that it's cuter in real life.

Dear Carmen,

Look, I posted! Here's a scan of one of my only recent creative projects. My friend's sister wanted a painting, and she likes white blobby art, so I made her a painting of a white blob who lives in a mobile home. (I think maybe things got muddy and the whole trailer park is slowly sliding down a hill.)
