Stop throwing rocks at my heart.

A new robot painting. When I saw him in my head, I didn't realize he would turn out looking like something out of an emo web comic.

I like him, but the emo-ness kind of bugs me (mostly because that wasn't what I wanted). Next time I'll use brighter colors.




[A follow up thought: I just put him next to the huggy bat painting I made last week. Both robots look a bit traumatized, but I think the bright colors make the huggy bat feel infinitely more optimistic.]

I want our paths to cross.

Another robot painting. This one is a bit bigger than usual (12"x12"), and it's hard to see on this page, so I made it clickable. One thing I really appreciate about tiny paintings is that they always fit on my scanner. This one didn't. I scanned it in chunks and pieced them together, so the large version has visible seams.




This isn't quite the whole thing, but it's most of it. (I think the bottom inch or so is missing.)

I thought I might feel better in a tree.

Another robot painting.

I have invisible wings.

I made a new robot painting. I think if a robot (or a person) had invisible bat wings, it would probably feel really neat to hug that robot (or person), because during the hug, the robot/person's wings would wrap all the way around you. I bet that would feel really warm and safe.

Robot in Alison's clothing

Another little robot painting. This one is called "I guess I kind of stretched out your sweater." It's a portrait of what it might look like if a robot borrowed my friend Alison's sweater and scarf. I wish that I had made him a little bit larger, because I think all that empty space makes him look lonely. But I do think he looks cute in her sweater.

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.

Two robots stuck together with gum

I made a new painting.
