does not compute by ~damnskippy It seems even when not making comics, :devdamnskippy: is still telling a story. The concept behind an artificial life shutting down over the overwhelming concept of emotion really comes across in a literal explosion of sparks & connection of color.

Description

I was asked to submit artwork for an art show done in conjuction with the Atlantic Film Festival (link: [link] ) in September. The art show will be at the Argyle Fine Art Gallery on September 22nd, and this piece should be for sale.

The theme of the show is "Urban Myths and Legends." I wasn't that interested in stories about hooks for hands or calls coming from inside the house, so illustrated the computer urban legend "Does Not Compute," or the idea that a computer/artificial being will self-destruct when considering emotions or paradoxes.

Consider this a companion piece to another robot-with-human-face drawing I did a while back.

A good piece.  Bit scary though.  Some sort of twisted version of Wizard of OZ???  How painful!
