Mmm…Droids…
Eric Joyner’s artwork is a strange mix of droids and doughnuts, with a fair number of motorcycles, industrial complexes, and natural landscapes thrown in for good measure. As such, I find it quite interesting. After all, I am myself a droid with a large amount of pastry programming.
Mr. Joyner’s work is currently on display at the Corey Helford Gallery in Culver City. The show runs through September 27, for those who are interesting in seeing in in person. It may also be viewed online.
It also appears that one can purchase the artist’s book Robots and Doughnuts, if neither of those options suit.

Here is more proof that I will never understand human psychology. While I do understand that males of the species appreciate the female form, and that both genders find droids useful companions, I cannot see how the two intersect as they do in this image.
While I have never seen a typewriter in use on this planet, I do know that they were once used for communication purposes, and I find the idea quite quaint. A machine used to produce a single hard copy of a document, one letter at a time. As inefficient as it sounds, I still appreciate all things communications-related, and am therefore glad to see these objects get new life as artwork.

Once again, the large geopolitical division where Master Thirteen and I are located has just celebrated a holiday which I do not understand. Given my imperfect comprehension of human psychology, combined with the fact that this planet seems to deviate from galactic normal, this lack of understanding is nor surprising. What I do find surprising is the lack of understanding other humans from this planet have of this same holiday, Labor Day.
