Robots are probably one of the best things in the world ever. Not in any practical real world sense, although I'm sure they have plenty. I'm coming from a purely aesthetic and fictitious perspective. They're in all the best movies; Terminator 1&2, Short Circuit, Star Wars... although actually both Terminator and Star Wars franchises have resulted in some of the worst movies in recent years and they did have robots in as well. So did that awful film with Haley Joel Osment in that was like Pinocchio only in the future and dreadful... AI...that's it!
OK so maybe there is no sure fire correlation between robots and awesomeness in films, but robots themselves are pretty awesome. Especially the boxy robots that they came up with in the olden days, that 1950's vision of the future that strangely looks like it could have been designed and made by a seven year old.

Two years ago Theresa gave me a book of tiny comics by an incredible illustrator called Tom Gauld. He pretty much encapsulates the best side of a robot - that strange blend of sadness, naivete, hilarity and potential dread...The latest T-shirt I designed for SquareThursday is definitely something of a homage to Tom Gauld. Look out for it on our website soon...

I love how this t-shirt has re-created the ambiance of sadness, naivete hilarity and potential dread, in one easy-to-wear garment.
