About Me


Myspace Layouts - Myspace Editor - Image Hosting

Welcome to ROBOT TROUBLE on MYSPACE. Robot Trouble, the brainchild of BJ Zymantas, is a collection of ‘old skool’ robot paintings on canvas and skateboard decks. The paintings have been three years in the making and depict some of the many robot denizens living in and around Concrete City, the capital of the planet ‘Broken’- an invented world where humans hide, robots rule and survival is business as usual in a wacky, crumbling existence. BJ has exhibited various works and many styles throughout Adelaide and Melbourne over the years and is currently trying to expand the Robot Trouble world with merchandise such as toys and clothing, in a bid to take the concept further.. Also chek out the soundtrack to this world at www.myspace.com/robottroublemusic... And let the sweet music make you imagine running in abject fear from robots that may cause you alarm..


My Interests

Science Fiction, Horror and movies in general. My Boba Fett and Hellboy collection of figurines. Drinking, laughing, creating drawing painting sculpting, Checkin' out other peoples work, reading kooky art and culture magazines, bunny rabbits, my SuperhumanSonia, finding old skateboard decks to paint on, COFFEE, cartoons, sleeping in (never happens), travel, exhibitions, believe-ing that I have an imaginary robot friend who doesn't believe in imaginary friends.. or God.
