San Nicola

San Nicola (ipad painting), originally uploaded by Matthew Watkins.

San Nicola (Saint Nicholas) is the Patron Saint of the City of Bari. I fingerpainted this in brushes app on my ipad. It is not a historic reproduction but rather a loose and personal interpretation based based on Byzantine paintings of the Saint.
It was commissioned by a regional Italian Magazine for their December issue.

The Sorry Bot

The Sorry Bot, originally uploaded by Matthew Watkins.

Man had created robots for everything. Robots to clean the house, to prepare meals, to work, provide comfort and fight the endless wars that intense cyberindustrialism was causing.
The planet was reduced to a wasteland. Humans were only a fragile intruder into a world that they had created.
The burden of guilt was extreme. It had become necessary to create a class of robots to take responsibility for all this.

They were the Sorry Bots.

And they were despised by all.
