The Anomaly

Comedian Mike Bobbit, came to me needing an illustration for posters for his comedy/burlesque show. The show being a mix of comedy, and off the wall risque performances, he gave it the weirdest running title he could come up with "robot bukakke". He gave me the title and said "can you work with that?". I said "...I'd rather not but I will". "Robot bukakke" I'm not ever sure what that means. I know what the words mean, I'm an adult. But together, conceptually... what the hell? It's like "potato orgasm" or "car cheese"...it's kind of nonsensical even if you anthropomorphize the behavior of a robot to the degree such an act would happen. Strangely enough the first sketch I came up with, we both liked. It was eye catching, weird, unsettling, and robotic-ly sterile. This here is the final finished illustration without any logos, dates, or other information that took up/blocked parts of the show poster.

The penciling and inking was done by hand, the coloring with photoshop. The original was 11x17 inches. This digital print is 300dpi and 2000x2881 pixels
