The Further Adventures Of Apocalypse Bunny

pocalypse was fun at first. Eating expensive tins of carrots. Playing with the abandoned machines. Breaking the few things remained intact was also fun.

It got old fast.

That was until the robots showed up.

Steam 500


Steam 500, originally uploaded by Matthew Watkins.

For my first Fiat 500 painting i limited my self to just mixing models through the years. A little '55 here, '74 there. This time i new a more radical redesign was needed. A forward looking automobile designed for the difficult years ahead. It features a steam powered drive train fueled by a versatile "whatever" burner. Teflon treads help deal with washed out roads and desertification.

The City of Locks


The City of Locks, originally uploaded by Matthew Watkins.

In the City of Locks time was money, height was prestige, and safe passage was no ordinary affair.

A couple of days spent negotiating the crystalline waters of the City of Locks could change an educated traveler forever.

Snowman, Adobe Eazel on iPAd

Adobe Eazel on iPad.
This was drawn with the beta of Adobe Eazel. It's a really interesting app with a unique painting engine that (sort of) emulates watercolour, and a daring five fingered aproach to tool navigation. A cool feature is that you can send your work directly to photoshop without syncing your ipad with itunes or emailing yourself or sending it here to flickr first.

Rough Fell XT500


Rough Fell XT500, originally uploaded by Matthew Watkins.

A true classic amongst robotic sheep. A perfect combination of advanced componentry combined with state of the art bio engineering make the Rough Fell XT500 most adapted to the exacting demands of our modern climate. In London fog, toxic waste clouds or during a sarin attack this baby lamb never stops producing 7 types of synthetic wool in literally thousands of unnatural looking colours.

Border Leicester TX19


Border Leicester TX19, originally uploaded by Matthew Watkins.

Do Androids really dream of Electric Sheep? Well of course they do!
And what android would not dream about this snappy little TX19? State of the art components defined new heights of versatility and performance in this little lamb.
Overheating unfortunately turned out to be a problem, and though addressed to some degree in models TX20, TX21 and TX 21a it was eventually discontinued.
The TX sereis is still a collectors item and third party cooling kits now make up for some of it's initial design deficiencies.

Online parts catalogues are now available on request at www.watkinsmedia.com.
