Illustration Friday – "Wrinkles"

[1 May 2008 | By | No Comment | 929 views ]

Poor thing, the fabric of space and time is always getting wrinkled, and who do you think has to iron it?

Illustration Friday - Wrinkles
Notebook doodle, inked, colored in Photoshop. Original sketch here.I was stumped for inspiration this time – then this popped into my head.

You know the universe is actually maintained by the robots, right? Like this one from a while back:
robot--lightsoff

My husband came up with the ‘cleaning instructions’, so I added that. But i have to think there would be even funnier captions — post ‘em if ya got em!

Past illo fridays here.

    Hah! I love a good robot illustration, and I can’t think of a funnier caption.

    I know about the robots maintaining the universe but I don’t think we are supposed to talk about them. Oh-no I’ve said too much ahhhh…
