Mugabe

Image of Mugabe and members of his that are destroying the lives of many Zimbabweans
In the political poster I darkened the image as a symbol to show that he is indeed a person.

Guitar (Front view)

A photo of my guitar which is an instrument which I have recently undertaken to teach myself how to play. Will be used in some form in my robot machine. 

Piano Keyboard

In the end having the piano as an idea at the start, I've decided to go with that idea and use the keys of the piano as part of a feature in my machine as the piano is a big part of what makes me live out my everyday life. The key is to where it will be positioned on the machine. 

MCG at Day

Another option to add as a background of my robot portrait image of myself. Keeping 2 background options available.

MCG at Night

Thinking of using the MCG from scenes of the MCG at night with the lights taking over to create a spectacle at Australian sporting events. 

Having the MCG in the background shows to me personally that I have some sort of interest in sports & with Melbourne being the sporting capital of the world there's no better scene than the MCG!

Bandage

The good old band-aid has been also been apart of me of recent times especially toward the end of the cricket season gone by. Mainly through clumsiness, injury prone or just bad luck following me around.  

amp_sketch

A sketch of a guitar amplifier might be another option rather than using an actual photo image.

Microphone

Image of a microphone, to be used as arms for the robot machine with wires connected.
