Rise Robots Rise!

Eric Joyner has got some brilliant, beautiful paintings in his repertoire. Not to mention that he cleverly mixes some of my favorite subjects; toys (in this case tin robots), outer space, landscapes, and donuts! Mmmm... donuts, *drool*. A couple of my favorites are The Rock (a.k.a. The Final Blow):



Which bears a striking resemblance to the George Bellows painting Dempsey and Firpo:


(There appears to be a couple of creepy, glowing-eyed robots in the background of this painting)

And Glazed:



Which reminds me of the strange dreams I have after eating a bag of Merita Sweet Sixteens donuts. You can order Limited Ed. giclee prints of his paintings here.
