This weekend I took a break from the "cutesy" stuff that I usually do and shifted my focus to something completely new for me... robots! I've always loved robots but never put any effort into trying to draw them or make one out of anything. The Iron Giant body style is probably my favorite to draw - a little more detailed to challenge my skills -, but I think the simple forms I sketched out would be best suited to the ideas I'm working on for paintings/collages. I made some templates with the "Iron Giant"-ish robot I drew to have a standard size for a few projects; the more basic ones I'll just do freehand.
I tried to make a couple little robots out of items around the house and from my supply of "found" crafty items. I need to brainstorm a little more about attaching the arms, though. Didn't do much thinking or planning before setting my hands busy in a whirlwind of activity of painting and shooting away with my glue gun... and I ended up bringing my work to a grinding halt because of it. So, now I'll be doing a little bit of deconstructing in order to fix this. I'm taking a break today, though...
