Fascinating homage to "Dogs Playing Poker".
JJ Adams is an English mixed-media contemporary pop artist known for his bold, edgy, and distinctive style that fuses popular culture with street art influences. Born in Plymouth, UK, Adams spent his youth in Cape Town, South Africa, which helped shape his discovery of bright colour and graphic art. He developed a strong foundation in design, working as an apprentice in a tattoo studio and later as a graphic designer, both of which heavily influence his current work. Adams' art is a vibrant blend of mixed media, incorporating spray paint, hand-painted acrylics, screen printing, collage, digital matte painting, and photography. He is famous for his creative reinterpretations of iconic images, celebrities (often adding elaborate tattoos), and cultural symbols—such as the "Dogs Playing Poker" parody—to create pieces that are visually striking and often contain hidden messages for the viewer to discover. He is highly sought-after and considered one of the UK's most collectible contemporary artists.

About the piece:
Eclectic parody of the classic "Dogs Playing Poker" theme, uniting an unlikely crew of pop-culture robots around the card table. Seated far left is Johnny 5 from Short Circuit, instantly recognisable by his expressive face and segmented arms. Engaging in the high-stakes game beside him is the Terminator's fearsome T-800 endoskeleton, then in prominently centre position is Optimus Prime representing Transformers. The sole Star Wars representative, C-3PO, comically armed with a cigar, earring and tatoos Far right, engaged in action with T-800 is Robocop. All focused intently on their hands. This vibrant, humorous piece of artwork, typically created in a mixed-media or digital style, cleverly comments on the universal appeal of card games while celebrating the most iconic mechanical characters from science fiction history. Perfect for any mancave or sci-fi fan.
