New robot painting: I don't have an unfriend button.
I don't have an unfriend button, so once you add me, you are STUCK.
This is a little robot painting about the suckiness of social networking, and more specifically about the jerk who just deleted a friend of mine. I think it's really sad that our society developed a way to end friendships with a click. If someone matters enough to befriend, don't they matter enough to keep around for a while? To maybe talk to? To let them know what's bothering you?
p.s. I think it's funny that the robot turned out a little creepy looking. That was unintentional. But I like to think that even creepy-looking pink-haired robots deserve to meet people (robots?) who won't unfriend them on a whim.
New robot painting: I can almost reach it.
A new little robot painting, for days when it seems like everything worth having is just out of reach. (He's optimistic, even if he has no reason to be.)

Happy holidays, world.
May your holidays be full of snowflakes and robots and love. :)
I made this year's sparkly, roboty cards with two block prints on 100% recycled paper (yay!) -- one had the snowflakes and one had the robots. They turned out kind of messy, but I like them anyway.
Recent robot painting: You got super-served.
This one makes me happy, because it turned out just like what I had in mind.
Recent robot paintings: Kitchen bots
"I like to mix things up."
"I am making you a treat"(note: he is an ice-cream machine, not a toaster)
Recent robot painting: My head is full of teen TV.
Yes, I do realize that my depiction of teen TV looks more like a middle-aged couple. What can I say? People aren't my strong point.
New robot painting: Instead of a brain, I have teddy bears.
My friend's son had a nightmare recently about a scary purple robot. So I made a little painting to show him that in reality, purple robots are no threat.
Purple robots don't want to hurt you. They wouldn't even know HOW to hurt you. Instead of brains, their heads are squished full of teddy bears, so basically all they know how to do is look cute. And hug. And hold your balloon.
