Come Down with Me

Ok, so I did this painting a while ago, and it was a biggie. It was always meant to be a biggie, it was another one of those paintings where I wanted to just bring together lots of ideas I had and make it my new 'best painting ever'. And most of all, I wanted it to be completely and utterly mad.
You can ask me what it's about, or you can decide what you think, whichevers more fun for you.

Into the Universe

Ok, so this was a painting I did what expresses my feelings and whatnot. It was done in poster paint and acrylics, with some spray paint and comic books too, cos these are the materials required for a robot takeover painting these days

"Sea You On The Other Side"

So if you follow me on tumblr (http://therobottakeover.tumblr.com/), you'll know I went through this whole painting step by step to show how I do a layered picture like this. It's the biggest robot I've ever done, and it's loosely based on the sea and the beach. It's the biggest robot I've ever done, and it marks four years of The Robot Takeover, so cheers to everyone who's helped out this gratuitously self-indulgent project over the years

“In Spiral Carpets”

So to celebrate 50 posts of original robot takeover content (I don’t reblog, I do every painting and drawing and I take every photo) over on my tumblr blog, I thought I should get off my ass and actually do some painting (you know, like what this blogs meant to be about).
If you liked my picture, “Fairground of the Soul” a few months back, well tough cheese, cos this is painted over the top of it. I also did this painting super quick, like well under 2 hours for the whole thing, why stop when you’re on a roll?

A Very Robot Takeover Christmas

Continuing my last post, this was my Christmas card effort. I wanted it to be really old skool. It's a homage to the old Bing Crosby Christmas specials (even though I'm nowhere near that old). I was going for a 50's feel, and attempting to highlight that Christmas is all about looking dapper and drinking spirits
