Artist, mad cyclist, technology guy.
Years ago I would entertain myself during meetings or conference calls by drawing small images in ballpoint pen. It was these tiny drawings that led me to create Botaday which - when first conceived - stood for 'A Robot A Day'.
Over time, the drawings morphed into illustrations of made-up words using vector graphics and digital image manipulation. I call this "Art Humor"
In late 2020 I returned to ballpoint sketching. It's my own form of automatic drawing, making shapes or scribbles until something looks like something and then that something looks like it needs a heart or a wheel or a bird or a pair of glasses. I fill pages, 90% of it junk - but here and there, occasionally, something appears that's worth working on outside of the sketchbook.
I call it "Robot Expressionism" or "Glyphbots"
These beings do not, most likely can not and probably never will exist, but they give a glimpse into a possible future where humans share space with whimsical, somewhat intelligent devices.
Thanks for stopping by.
