Some Say All Robots Look The Same, But They Look Different Close Up


This one was an idea I'd been working on for a while, again I wated the robot to be marked out by the spaces I left, but this time I wanted a to blend (not sure if this is an artistic term, but its one I use in my head when I'm painting) on the robots panels. I was vey unsure as to how to leave the backgroung so I mixed up lots of colours and left them in circles, I like to see hints of other colours underneath and not them all blended together into one almighty brown. The title was a bit of a joke as to what people said about my stuff, and also to show that each painting was meant to be a different robot

For Each Robot, There Is Only One Other Whose Heart Is The Right Shape For Theirs

Yes yes, this one is indeed about love. It was just a feeling I couldn't get over. I think it marks a real departure in my work, this sees the first use of a girl robot and these are very cartoon-ised (is that a word? Probably not) The paint on it is thick to say the least, I was worried that the background was too dark but without it it'd be far too bright and happy a painting, and love isn't always about running through fields of flowers and going to the fair. This is a much better version of the very first robot painting I attempted and it is one of the ones I'm most proud of, I was unsure as to whether it was too personal, but you have to harness whats going on in your life and use that, painting isn't maths, although its accounting for some.

The Shifting Of A Robots Focus


This is just a small one i did quickly, its nothing special, I just taped down a rough robot and blended over it then did another robot on top. I thought this looked a lot like the other ones I'd done so far and i wasn't as pleased with it so it marked a change in direction into more exciting colours and backgrounds and different robot poses, I didn't want to be accused of every painting basically being the same
