Day 61 - There Once Was a Bot . . .


An Illustrated Limerick!

There once was a bot from under the sea
Who liked to whistle a ditty or three;
He must've been deaf,
Or so said the chef,
Because even his breaths were off-key.


[Okay, so Chef Crab looks like a train engineer--sue me.  Using only dull, chewed-on crayons doesn't lend itself to frills like erasing or accuracy or Picasso-like brilliance.  Because the crayons are the problem, not me.]

Day 60 - A Waxy Mess

So I had this great idea to cut up crayons, arrange them in the shape of a robot head, and then "bake"/melt it in the oven.

Apparently, 5 minutes at 300 degrees is too long.  It turned into a big blob of liquid.  Once it cooled some, I salvaged this much of it.




Adding eyes still doesn't seem to make it look more like a robot head.



So I made it an odd robot munchkin. 


Make me feel better--pretend it's cool.

(Note to self:  Crayons and ovens need closer supervision.)

Day 58 - Norman the Conqueror

"Rise, infidel, and defend yourself!"


With sword brandished high, Norman prepared to eradicate the horrific beast.  Somehow, he felt unchivalrous attacking an enemy unaware.  "Pretending to sleep, hmmmm?  Well played, hermit crab, well played."

Day 55 - Bot Bookmark

I came across these monster page bookmarks and thought they were a great idea (tallystreasury.com/2011/02/corner-page-bookmarks-3/), but I had to change it up--robot-style.

Day 54 - Collage of Robot Awesomeness

Today, we started a large poster board collage.  Everything will be hand-drawn and colored--with the intent of eventually covering up all traces of white. 

Norman is acting project supervisor.

Day 53 - Art Appreciation

Norman didn't know what to make of the art piece.  What happened to basic landscapes?  You know, like Bob Ross used to make.
