Tin Robots

San Francisco artist Eric Joyner is known for his oils based on the secret lives of robots and their passion for donuts. Joyner's latest series of paintings also involve Japanese monsters who provide a keen sense of doom, not that the robots seem worried. There is also a fair bit of flying saucer imagery, leading the viewer to wonder about the relationship between the robots and aliens from outer space. Eric Joyner has created a whole new world of colour and zaniness, but the robots look so very serious. It is all too good.

On the other side of the Sun there is a mirror planet called Tin World. A thousand years ago they were invaded by giant donuts from another world. Over the past thousand years they have fought, battles have ended,but never any lasting peace.

They have this never-ending struggle because:

A) the donuts feed on the robots.

B) The robots don't want to be feed.
Anyway, this is the thought in my head.

I think donuts and tin robots go just perfect... I can imagine being a kid playing with my robots eating donuts that my Mom brought home... Two things a young boy would never say no to.

I think it because Donuts and Tin Robots are the perfect combo or its because they both rhyme
