Today I begin what I hope will be a recurring event on this here blog: Friday Robots. I draw ’em and you look at ’em. Have a good Friday, everybody.

Hurray! It’s Friday Robots day again here at Falling Rock National Blog. I know I don’t need to tell you, but just as a reminder, if you see one of these robots coming at you, day or night, you should run away. Robots, even those designed with the best of intentions, have a habit of turning evil at the drop of a hat.

That is all.

Okay, I’ve done one that’s a bit Abstract Robots. The black and white background image is a picture of Mt. Hood I took, back before it was covered in snow.

Today I wanted to get back to last week’s image of Mt. Hood, except I wanted to show the mountain more clearly. What better way to show off a beautiful mountain peak than by drawing a giant robot flying over it?

Fairy dust, of course!

Specifically, they originate from the wand of this fairy:

Just a sprinkle of shiny, sparkly magic, and I’m ready to draw robots.

I avoid the fairy for the rest of the week. His breath stinks of fish and his hair is greasy.

The comparisons to Picasso and Braque may now begin.

Since I missed the last two Fridays, here is a series of robots for your Monday morning.

They are influenced by the Led Zeppelin crop circles. For full effect, imagine Jimmy Page wailing on his guitar and Robert Plant wailing.
