\"Robo<\/a>I can’t imagine how I’ve managed to miss the paintings of Eric Joyner, but now that I’ve corrected that I can at least enjoy sharing them with you.<\/p>\n

A San Francisco illustrator, Joyner has painted this series of pictures that combine larger than life, vintage toy robots with other toys, world domination, and – inevitably! – donuts.<\/p>\n

His Tin World<\/a><\/em> series shows us a universe where giant robots really do look like old tin toys. Let the rest of the world beware! Shown above is what’s possibly my favorite: Fog of War<\/a><\/em>, in which the situation does look pretty dire. Giant donuts roll out across the landscape amid the punishing fire of robots in their pressed-tin rockets, while robot soldiers march over the battlefield with their sparkers sparking and their lights flashing.<\/p>\n

Robo Kong<\/a><\/em>, on the other hand, is a more intimate view of the top of the Empire State Building… where the eponymous robot swats at determined baby pilots in their tin toy airplanes.<\/p>\n

The series is all wrapped up in the book Robots and Donuts<\/a><\/em>, while individual pictures are also available as prints<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
