Commissioned painting in the vein of pulp sci-fi magazines from the 1930s and 40s. I took inspiration from the covers of Weird Tales, Astounding Stories and Startling Stories, in which menacing robots played a fairly prominent role. The name Frederik Isaac combines the the first names of Frederik Pohl, one of my favourite authors, and Isaac Asimov, whose Foundation Trilogy is one of my favourite books. Lighting effects were mostly worked out using a mirror and a torch!
