It seems as if the 2-page spread is sort of a theme these days, so I'll continue. As in the previous two posts, the man on the left is real. I spied him on the sly while he was, indeed, listening to the homily.


The robot woman, however, is my invention completely. I really like robot drawings that are done well; I suppose I'd like to do one myself someday. She will never be a real woman. I love good S/F stories. The best of them almost always ask what it is to be human from Blade Runner, AI, I Robot, Star Trek (take your pick),  and a million others. Normally this is done by making a robot so human as to be indistinguishable from real humans except for the physical material they are made of. And the actual humans that are contrasted with the robots are typically less than human in some way. We are made to believe that it's what's on the inside that makes us human, not what we are made of. But I think that the non-gnostic position is that it's what's on the inside and what we are made of that makes us human. We are composite beings - flesh and spirit.

Robot Bug pt.2



These are a couple of drawings of the robot bug that I posted a few days ago. They are fairly literal but I still like them. Make some robot bugs and get drawing!

Robot Bug



I'm not a sculptor nor am I much for technology. But I do love bugs. And robots are kind of cool. I made this robot bug out of junk. I've made several drawings of it which I suppose I'll post. I'm currently tearing apart old VCRs and CD players for their guts to make more of these both for myself and for a project to do for one of my classes. Fun.

War of the Worlds


I'm not really into drawing robots and machines. Don't get me wrong; when they are done well they are really cool! This is for a War of the Worlds job; I don't know exactly what it is illustrating, but there you go. It's a mecha version of the ol' tripod Martian ships.
