A Journal
Born in New York City and shaped by the pop culture of the 1970s and '80s - TV, comics, music, film - Chris distilled these influences into a "mental journal" of visual memories that inform his vibrant, emotive characters. What began as a personal tag, "Robots Will Kill," became a global collective platform founded in 2001 to uplift underrepresented creators beyond the mainstream art world.
His robots, with their slouched poses and "X" for a heart, serve as emotional avatars - simple yet expressive stand-ins for vulnerability, resilience, and connection. Each piece invites you to look deeper through layers of nostalgia, communal stories, and heartfelt design that honor both humor and humanity in a mechanical age.
