Jeepers Creepers (24 x 18", Glossy or Matte Finish) $40.00

Robot Idol"Jeepers Creepers " is, like my other Retropolitan images, set in the world of the future the way it used to be. Figure it's the sort of wide-open, adventurous day-after-tomorrow that you would have been expecting if you were reading a little more Buck Rogers than geometry back in about 1939.

This is one of those images that really feels like it's an illustration of a story, but I have to admit that I'm not entirely sure what this story is. You're welcome to provide your own.

The way I see it, our heroes - or at least Rusty the Robot - have been here before. "Here", I think, is another planet, or maybe one of our planets' moons. Whenever and wherever that was, Rusty made a big impression on the locals, without ever knowing that they were there, and his visit has been incorporated into their mythology.

Who knows exactly what they think he is or what he was doing there? But they seem to have decided that he's a pretty important character, and here we see a shrine they've built to him. Now that he's come back and found it, I'm afraid that he's a little embarassed about the whole thing, and he's going to have some trouble explaining it to his friends.

And as for the locals, they seem to have taken to the Cargo Cult (or "Field of Dreams") approach: "if we build it, they will come". And it does seem to have worked out that way.

Like my other prints, this is mainly a 3D rendered scene with a liberal amount of retouching done in Photoshop. It's entirely digital, start to finish, at a resolution of 300 DPI.

About the Prints
T
hese prints are made to order by deviantPrints, using an archival quality photographic process on Fujifilm Crystal Archive paper. They're rated to last over 100 years without fading - though no prints should be left where they'll be baked by direct sunlight. The color fidelity, clarity and paper weight of these prints is far superior to the poster-quality reproductions I also sell here. They're pretty much the bee's knees.

You can order a print in either glossy or matte finish. This is mainly a matter of personal taste, but I do think that the glossy prints give you a sharper representation of the original digital image.

When you add one of these archival prints to your prints shopping cart it will pop up in a new window. You can keep browsing through these pages and add new items as you go. The shopping cart window will update as you add more items. When you're ready to check out, do so in the cart window and you'll be taken through the ordering process.

Important Note
These archival quality prints are supplied by a different vendor than my other merchandise, and use a separate shopping cart. You cannot place a single order for both archival prints and, for example, coffee mugs.

Archival prints will ship separately from other items.

Copyright 2002 - 2009, Bradley W. Schenck. Yep. That's a person, not a vast multinational corporation trying to maintain control over whatever you've downloaded to your iPod. Just a guy who'd rather do this than wash dishes for a living. So be nice, huh? If you like the art, send your friends here - don't redistribute the work, remix it, or - to speak perfectly plainly - rip it off. It's not just that it's illegal. It's also really bad manners. And I know your mother raised you better than that.
