Average Joebot

I mentioned in a previous post how drawing a humanoid robot, for me, usually represents a sort of "average joe" or humankind as a whole. It's a little deep so I don't really expect you to get it.

Conversely, drawing an average Joe always represents the plight of the robot. Humans have always built robots to work. They make cars, vacuum our floors/haul cats, kill/spy on stuff and generally do our bidding, regardless of how repetitive and boring it is.

These careful illustrations represent these robots. I hope that by drawing them as a human face you can appreciate their contributions to our society. Perhaps by showing our appreciation, even this small bit, we can convince them to preserve a few of us when they finally rise up. Until that day, you can appreciate these Average Joebots.
