Description
I drew this little robot on the back of a post card a while ago and thought he looked so cool that i had to do something with him. I cut him out and sat him on my desk. As I pursued various other projects, he watched over...waiting for his time to shine lol...this was about 3 months ago.This was finished in a bit of a rush (I was using it for an interview I had the next day to get into uni). I started without a concept, I just wanted the robot to be accompanied by more things that had been cut out. Once the squares came and I started playing around with their placement, the idea of what it would all say simply cultivated itself. It was about being imaginative and original - a tornado of ideas and imagination coming out of his head, in contrast to the plain, orderly squares he resided in or was expected to adhere to (as a robot of course).
Hope you like it

wow, portfolios seem pretty hard to do. This is a very great piece of art though. I'm sure the interviewers will be impressed. (especially with the DD)

Hehe, I remember when I was talking about it - I explained I was almost not going to put it in and the interviewer said "I'm glad you did". Nice

First, congrats on the DD. This is one of the deserved ones.
Second, I really like this piece, first and foremost for having the courage of keeping it b/w (I agree that some works are made to stay that way and that colour would spoil them).
Then I like its decorative strength: decoration is powerful if used correctly.. I like the whole composition, the way motives are used in a constan contrast and symmetry at the same time.
And robots are always fun to draw!

That's amazing!
I was really expecting a person, probably a child sitting down looking up at the things they were imagining, but having the robot there instead was a real surprise! That little guy is so funny!

Thanks! Haha, I've known this piece for so long, but I can imagine how a robot would be a bit random
