ALTERNATIVE COMICS Giant Robot Dreams

HEY APATHY! Alternative comics Robot Drawing

A Giant mechanized monstrosity works it's way through the streets. With it's clambering heavy movements and predetermined coarse, the twenty-five foot, six thousand pound Robot subliminally forces the flow of pedestrian traffic. Herding the denizens along unseen patterns, the machine omits toxic fumes, has claw like appendages, and uses it’s impenetrable posture, dubiously prodding citizens in and out through the shops. Upon extensive examination one might still believe that these tracks appear random, however the answer can be found in the divisions apparent when surveying the crowd. For in front, the machine grasps at people with unbiased ferocity, while those who stand behind it, always appear more piggish than human. As of the Robots cast shadow, a crew of heterogeneously boar like beings gather, reaping the rewards and the refuge of the cybernetic aggressor. Looking only towards future days, the massive Technology mercilessly advances through infinitely spiralling City of Gears.

This 15 x 15 inch open and ink illustration was one of the first drawings I did for the CHAPTER TEN of my mythology. It was created while I was working as a full time professional street performer and made on site as I witnessed the mechanical monsters and it’s cult business following. The original small drawing took about an hour to complete and was later revisited in performance as a 6 x 4 foot street painting. This was the only drawing in the series that did not get a background landscape because it started to rain abruptly terminating the outdoor session.
