robot rights
I spotted this stencil on the way to shops in South Melbourne a few weeks back and have been itching to get a shot of it since.
I had the opportunity this weekend.
Cross processed and cropped from a RAW image.
I looks amazing on canvas :

Cheers Scotty – check out Mel’s comment below, what d’ya reckon ? Got some time ?
Frank Stillitano
Hmmmm… not sure if I ‘get’ this. Personally I would’ve thought human rights are more important message!
Great photo though, nice composition and I like the dullness of the colour.

In a strange way, this clever little bit of graffiti is about human rights – don’t you think ?
Mel Brackstone
Someone has been peeking through my windows….I’ve been abusing my robots all weekend…hehe….rooomba and dirt dog hate me!
I love this the sentiment in the stencilled words….and you’ve framed it well so that the eye sees the words first. The only way this could be improved is to have a robot being abused on the footpath :) Maybe Scott can help? hehe

Thanks for your words Mel, and I think you’re onto something about Scott there …

Awesome!!!.......only as smart as the electrical cord extension.

Yes Asimov saw this coming wouldn’t you say?:0)

Yep. Totally Asimov inspired.
This stencil made me feel like I live in the future more than anything else. I’m still disappointed that there aren’t hover cars everywhere.

Excellent! I love stencils, especially funny ones. I actually used to spray a few myself, it’s been a quite while.
sjem © replied
Oh really ? Care to share anymore info about that ?
Cathie Tranent
It’s just blinding logic you know. Really.
Frank Stillitano
Ahhh yes of course…Just putting the thought of human rights in our minds is the exact point.
I’m really not that bright you see.
Very subtle and very very clever.

This makes me miss Melbourne :)

sjem © replied
Thanks jemimes – not film though, i totally cheated.
Frank Stillitano
I can try help ease your nostalgia…just remember how cold it gets in Melbourne!

Tyles is in London though Frank …

Used to work in Carlton at one point … just opposite Lygon street. There are some great alleyways full of stencil art there. Used to go for a wander at lunchtimes!

Frank Stillitano
Oh yeah…a mute point I guess!

It’s too late…. Too late…. Too late….
Nothing can go wrong….. go wrong….. go wrong………

I like Mel`s idea about adding some robot love here..But not exactly how you might expect.
I have something glorious in mind.. Stay tuned.

What’s good about this is you have not relied on the stencilist’s artwork to make your picture good. The photo itself is well thought out and nicely treated. Unlike all the people who photograph amazing graffiti and somehow think this makes them a good photographer.
Danny will get upset of you upload photos a lot you know.
sjem © replied
His absence has been noted today, maybe he’s gone camera shopping.
Thanks for your feedback too, it means a lot coming from a chap with a folio of your calibre.

I just did a few stencils here and there in some low key areas. I doubt they were overly clever, just kinda odd. One was just a strange kinda creepy image of the face of one of my roommates at the time. I though it was funny when someone added vampire teeth. I never did any layered stencils outside, I’m far too chicken to do anything that takes more then 5 seconds.That’s probably enough incriminating myself!
Also I really like the tones in your photo.
