I've listed a new robot painting in my Artfire store!
 |
| It's a "merbot" - a mermaid/robot hybrid! Isn't she beautiful? (Click here for the full listing.) |
The caption along the merbot's side, "c:\creature", is a sort of double entendre that references the DOS operating system and the phrase "sea creature" at the same time. Blame my dad for this - in my formative years (and well before Windows was invented), he worked as a computer programmer. My squishy young mind absorbed the ambient nerdiness in our household like a sponge and I grew up to be the kind of person who makes DOS and BASIC puns, even though I've never worked as a software developer myself.
Anyhoo, if you love this painting, head on over to my store and buy it - or browse the 40+ other items I have for sale in case there's something you love even more! And don't forget to enter the code SHESAIDPOPBLOG at checkout to get 15% off (offer valid until December 31, 2011).
holy crap, i need to show this to my dad. he was a programmer, too, same era.
ReplyDeleteOh cool! Let me know if it amuses him. :D
ReplyDeleteThere's also a computer joke of sorts in my painting of the BDSM robot, but it's possible you're not on a "showing pictures of kinky robots with a flogger for a hand" basis with your dad...
I love this one! I liked the computer humor in the BDSM one too, but the infinite flogging loop concept was kind of scary.
ReplyDeleteWell, in fairness the BDSMulator is a stationary, floor-mounted model - so when you're done being beaten you can scootch out from under. :D
