Robots & Donuts

Today I would like to share with you an artist I enjoy, both for the whimsy of his subject matter, as well as his expressive brush strokes and illustrative look. My friend Matt first introduced me to this artist during my robot phase in college (though, could you really call it a phase? Robots are a lifelong passion, not just a passing fad!)

Eric Joyner is an artist and illustrator who resides in San Francisco and paints...you guessed it, Robots and Donuts. I wonder what made him choose these as subjects? Was he trying to think of two awesome things and this is what he decided to paint? Was he inspired by a dream? Or do the donuts and robots represent some deeper meaning? Either way, you should check him out at ericjoyner.com. Here's a little taste of his work:

And this one is a bit perverse, but thought provoking...

"Too Many Choices" by Eric Joyner

This artwork is making me hungry!
