Crank Automata  (11" x 13") and "Easter toys" approx. 6"    - 2010 thru 2013



The hand-crank cowboy automata was actually a prototype for what I intended would be a larger & more complex wall piece (kinetic backdrops, etc.). The biggest challenge was to resolve the mechanics of the thing.  I figured it out alright, but by the time I was done.... I was done (with the whole idea).  Too much time engineering and not enough time 'art making' I suppose. --------- The other three "critters" are little annual Easter gifts for my wife: (bunny with a love note).
