1973 Evel Knievel Toy

This was a toy that has burned a wheelie in my memory, thanks to two older brothers.
It was a wind up motorcycle with famous stuntman action figure Evel Knievel and ramp included. This toy was known to gain speeds of up to 2 miles per hour and jump over volumes of books and other random objects! I like the composition and the font of the poster that conveys the extreme action.

This was of the funniest toy I owned. You had to build it, add the electronics, and take it out to race. It was the greatest. The ones today are pre-built and that was half the fun.

Toys from another era. I love the nostalgic quality of the soldiers lined up, the bright colors and simple highlights that give them a sense of volume. They hearken back to a time when play required more spontaneity and imagination.

Mr. Potato Head

Mr. Potato Head has been a part of the average childhood for decades. He is a lovable character that encourages creativity in children and is just darn cool. He has become so known that he is even seen in children's movies such as Toy Story. With his big break to the big screen, it is hard to imagine that he ever be forgotten.

Nintendo GAME BOY/LEGO

I've chosen the Game Boy was because It was an old system that was made for on the go, and also needed 4 AA batteries to operate the system/And also i chosen the LEGO cause i was thinking of entwining both the Game boy and Legos in one making a Lego Game Boy.

Marbles

I am always delighted by the different array of colors that are exposed within a small glass ball. The colors are always in swerves or waves connecting from one point to the other. Marbles are delicate and fragile and are always noticed, especially under a table of light.

Teddy Bear!!!

Teddy Bears are classic and this illustration is as well. It gives the bear character by making it seem well worn, as if dragged from car to house to playground and back again. With reconstructive stitch marks it creates a nostalgic feeling for the viewer.
