New robot painting: He's better at Scrabble than I am.

Here's a robot painting I made for a friend/coworker who is crazy-good at Scrabble. I am a tiny bit jealous, because his first name is a legitimate Scrabble word and mine is not.

New robot painting: When you are not around, I video chat myself

I made this one for a friend/coworker who once video chatted me while briefly experimenting with ichat's roller coaster background.

I think the robot is hanging out in a 1970's basement (with wood paneling and squashy green carpet), which I know doesn't make a lot of sense in the context of video chat. But whatevs. That's where he is.

New robot painting: I think I'm getting the wrong signal

I don't have access to my scanner or my usual paints, but I'm painting robots anyway.

New robot painting: When I hide behind the chicken pile, nobody can tell that I'm sad.

I'm not sure exactly why, but earlier tonight, I realized I wanted to make a painting of a robot peeking out from behind a pile of chicken.




It's on a 3" by 3.25" piece of a cardboard Fresh Direct box, even though I have plenty of actual painting surfaces I could've used. I guess I wasn't sure if I would like it. I do.

p.s. I've promised a bunch of people robot paintings, and I completely intend to make all of those paintings in the very near future. I don't know why I keep painting random stuff instead of working on the ones I owe people.

I don't think I have the right software.

Another robot painting. It's about how the world feels sometimes, especially around the holidays.

This one is 8x10, so I made it clickable.




The scan looks sort of blurry, even when I view it at full size in Photoshop. I think my scanner is dying a very slow death. It's probably almost 10 years old, and it's incompatible with Windows Vista. I sometimes have to restart the computer more than once to get it to scan. Maybe if I end up trying to sell a few paintings at some point, that could pay for a new scanner... but my paintings are so personal. I'm not sure how I'd feel about a little bit of Lisa-sadness hanging on some stranger's wall.

I feel tiny.

Another robot painting. This one's on a little 3" piece of a Fresh Direct box, and at actual size it was too hard to see, so this is an enlargement.




Argh. Maybe it's still too hard to see. But I guess that's sort of appropriate.

I haven't painted on random pieces of cardboard in a long time, but I realized the other day that my tiny robot blender (at the bottom of this page) is still one of my favorite paintings ever.

Robot babies like to swing.

Another little robot painting. This one's a gift for a coworker, and again, it represents real people. (It's clickable so you can get a better look at the robot baby.)




Before this week, I don't think I'd ever painted a robot with facial hair, and now I've painted two.

p.s. If you think the robot baby is weird looking, you are WRONG. Mine is infinitely cuter than this real-world robot baby.
