AWESOME! Sounds like a fun project. I would love to work with you on this …
My background is in character development and I’ve mostly designed for TShirts and Giftware for Tourism across Canada. I’ve designed for all of the big Resorts like Whistler, Jasper, Banff… and Attractions like Marineland. Most recently I am designing for Georgia Music Hall of Fame, I work quickly, always plan everything with sketches first, to create better quality designs… and I do my research. If I’m designing a Robot in the Woods.. in a 50 ’s pulp culture style. I’ll gather tons of source material and offer a few layouts and styles. You’re obviously a fan of Virgil Finlay..so I could draw reference from that style. or is the Robot like The Iron Emperor from Blackhawk or something out of War of the Worlds.. or maybe it’s one of the Cybermen or Daleks from Dr. Who. In anyway case, I put real thought into everything i do. I work on a Mac in CS2 and can prepare whatever format you require. I can also prepare art colour separated for screenprint, if you needed to use on a tshirts. Thanks for your consideration

Thank you for responding! I like that you seem enthusiastic about this idea. Can I ask you what your first thought of what Robot in the Woods looks like? Truth be told, thats what I want to see; your interpretation.
Let me briefly describe the concept. Robot in the Woods is actually an art promotion business and alternate model for distribution of art work. I am commissioning pieces now as “seeds” to attract other artists to contribute. My main drive artistically/experimentally is to see all possible renderings of Robots in the Woods and to develop a repository of images. Its a low cost way for mass exposure to the idea and to the individual artists.
