Art-0 Mat Series
If you purchased a piece from Art-o-mat...
Thank you for selecting mine. I am honored to be working with the Art-o-mat team and appreciative that they helped me construct and distribute this concept.
21st Century Cave Art originated several years ago to address the question of how modern man would be remembered and what legacy we would leave behind.
The ancient cave artists came to mind as a source of inspiration, because they used art not only as an aesthetic tool, but one which communicated to future generations where to get food, which way the herds traveled, theories on the origin of the universe, and most importantly—that they existed and endured.
Like the original cave artists, human beings are still compelled by the primal urge to make future generations aware that we existed. We still want to let others know about the best places to find food, what the latest innovations are, and express our theories on the universe.
The juxtaposition of primitive man and modern day objects is meant to highlight our advancements as a species, while reminding us of qualities that we have inherited from past ancestors. The series also serves as a warning for how our legacy can become tarnished by commercialization and greed. Like the cave artists who left us their mark some 50,000 years ago, we too shall perish one day, and—for better or worse—these are the heirlooms we leave to future generations. I ask you, the owner of the piece, what will future generations say of us?

One "Man with Commercial Coffee" from the art-o-mat in the Crocker Museum of Sacramento! Very pleased. I love the idea!

My 15 year old daughter selected yours at the Art-O-Mat at Reynolda House in Winston Salem yesterday. She had no idea what the machine used to dispense and I am delighted to have purchased your original art from it. We got the coffee caveman, which is perfect since we live in Seattle and my husband just left Starbucks after a 20 year corporate career there. Thank you! I might have to go back for another. The products in the machine are healthier but still addictive!

Bought one of the Man with Commercial Coffee in Winston-Salem, the birthplace of the Art-O-Mat. It's awesome and a great series of miniature paintings. Wishing you great success!
