Around the City Series
Since moving around to experience some urban full of life cities, I have been inspired by all that is around me. Here are just some examples of paintings that have come from that reflection.

Vintage Tin Toy Robots and Space Toys Series
A little history...
First appearing in the 1940's as 6" tall Windup Robots named "Lilliput" and "Atomic Robotman" the Tin Toy Robot market grew strong in the 1950's and 1960's thanks to the space race era. Battery Operated Robots began production at this time in the form of the famous "Robby the Robot", "Zoomer Robot", "Cragstan's Mr. Robot", and many more. The 1960's introduced one of the most long lived Tin Toy Robots referred to as Rotatomatics produced by the Horikawa Co.
