Pinup Robot

This image combines two elements that I personally like, in an ironic way. Surreal imagery and 1940's Pin Up styled portraits. Pin up portraits are generally seen as classic, beautiful, feminine and nostalgic. This completely contradicts the mechanical element of the image; which is hard, cold, very technical, and in some ways, masculine. So I think its a good mash-up. Also a little commentary on the "stepford-esque" conceptions of women during that time.

*The actual portrait image was not taken by me, but all the photo montage work is :)
