Retro Robot Art by Brian Despain 
Here’s one of Brian Despain’s wonderful paintings. He seems to be working on a series of "100 Robots", though there’s very little information about that at his web site; still, the Gallery is so enjoyable that I, for one, hope he won’t be stopping at 100.
His work’s featured in a show at the Roqla Rue Gallery in Seattle, through December 5th. (Found a little indirectly through i09)
This artwork is amazing. I can almost hear this robot’s story spinning out from it.
Sort of like the Iron Giant as told by Rene Magritte :).
Great work. Simple and very impressive.
