No. 6 from "The Metallic Marauders"

The knighted robot Sir Angus the redpainted is a decorated hero of the early robot wars. When talks opened up to the human leaders, Sir Angus was able to convince them that all sentient beings whether biological or mechanical are all worthy of existence and the right to live their lives and build their communities. The now pacified human leaders were there eviscerated by laser beam and the robot wars were won.

About me

I am an artist for lack of a better word. I hate the term "artist" because it conjures up the vision of a holier-than-thou hipster type who makes up profound meanings for a blue canvas. Post modernism is rarely art. I’m not really an artsy person either. My wife studied art history and I enjoy things like that. I mostly subscribe to the "I may not know art, but I know what I like" philosophy.

I prefer terms like "Tinkerer", "Creator", "Maker" and "Builder". Constructive terms.

I like to make new things out of junk, bits, pieces and various miscellania. I recently decided this compulsion to build complex compilations of simple parts has roots in my childhood obsession with LEGO. My father made me a LEGO table from an old door and steel brackets that sat in our basement. I think I spent more time seated at that table bushing aside an ocean of coloured bricks searching for the specific one I needed than most people spent outside in their childhood.
