Robot
When I was a kid, I devoured science fiction and Asimov was one of my favorite writers.
I, Robot is the title of Asimov's first collection of short stories. It consists of nine stories about positronic robots, united by a consistent narrative in which a reporter interviews the character Susan Calvin about her life working with robots.
There is a lot of information about Asimov and his work here.

Very creative take on the theme! I love your armadillos!
Great tribute to Asimov. And those armadillos have sort of articulated mid-sections, huh? Not really a cuddly creature, except to other armadillos.
And of course, wonderful artwork. Goes without saying... but should still be said. Peace.
as always, great color! I love the armadillos, btw. Their accordian-like bodies are sort of like robots. :)
beautiful art and I never put it together the armadillo/robot connection but you are always ahead of the pack!
beautiful!! Great novel choice!! HE ! HE!!
Love the idea of including a book like that very clever! And you armadillos look wonderfully curious and interested - I especially like the clear bubble that one is playing with.
Your illustrations have a futuristic quality to them, so Asimov fits right in!
...and unlike the movie, the book wasn't a two-hour Converse sneaker commercial! (I love your day-glo armadillos, btw!)
Armidillos with their armored shapes...very robotic looking. Here, they seem to be interested in finding out why you like I, Robot so much! Beautiful colors!
I read I, Robot as a kid, too and it was probably among my earliest SciFi readings, too (along with John Wyndham).
Armadillos fir the theme perfectly!
I really admire the way you put color to a board, very distinctive, armadillos have an robotic look and animation. So Fine!
Clever way to tackle a dull topic!
Armadillos. You know, just as the first worthy clone was a sheep, I think the first worthy AI should be an armadillo.
I love your colors! Is the one in the back floating on a bubble? So surreal! Wonderful, dreamy stuff.
I was wondering how you were going to do this week's topic! Your creation is perfect...and, didn't shy away from your style! Fantastic job!...and, as always....love the bright colors, and your style!
Who didn't love Asimov? Great piece, great color!
Beautiful and very creative illustration. Lovely colours -did you read it before, uh? :)
I wish I could get color like that. What a "novel" idea! Asimov was one of my favs as well. Great illo as always.
Hey Jaimie, thanks for commenting at my blog.
I got my waterbrushes from UK as I cannot get them in Singapore. A friend was very nice to help me buy them and sent them to me. I am not sure where to get them in the States. You can find another brand (Niji) at http://www.islandblue.com/catalogue.cfm?main_id=6&sub_id=33&product_id=1220
or the Pental ones at http://www.artifolk.co.uk/product.aspx?pageid=5&prodkey=2456
and also this one via search engines - http://www.paperinkarts.com/en-us/dept_93.html
By the way, my husband is a big fan of Asimov. Awesome illo. :)
Love the illo. He's one of my favs too.
love
