The Aviator Has Friends!

 Remember this guy?  He now has some friends.

I kept going with my “cut stencils and spray paint” technique and churned out three more.

The first finished is “Autopilot.” I have a confession to make. I love zany robots. The low-fi goofy kitchy ones are the best. And this guy is right in there with them.  I think he’s getting a bit of an energy overload, by the look on his face, but I’m happy with him.  He’s just a cool robot!

The next was “AM Radio.”  No, that’s not a teevee. That’s a radio! Really! It only has one antenna!  I was kinda going for an old school radio, but I am happy with how it turned out. Those cross-hatch marks on the yellow part? That means it’s a speaker!

 And the third is “Gone Pie.”  Its…a cherry pie. Ta-da!  This one offered a new challenge. I liked how the pie came out, but it was missing something. After staring at it for a bit, I realized that those black “ta-da” lines were lacking something. Like there was too much of them and not enough pie. I had a scale problem.  So I actually cut this one off it’s original frame and re-stretched it on a smaller set of stretcher bars, scaling it down to a smaller painting and cropping out some of those lines.  Again, I’m happy with this one too, (of course I am!) and happy I solved the little challenge this pie threw at me!

All three of these are hanging with their predecessor, “Aviator,” at the Art Bank. Come see their big debut, Tonight, at the Art Bank!
