I don't know about the adversity element, robot parade - but there is a quote taped to my drawing table from Leonardo da Vinci . . . "Art lives from constraints and dies from freedom." Which is better than striving to be different than the guy beside you just for the sake of being different than the guy beside you. Know what I mean? Besides, even if I cry the blues a bit, things are pretty darned good here at the Manor, by Jingo!
This piece is starting to grow on me genuinegirly

The first laying down of colour.
