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.
i like this image because of the color usage to the images and it look almost realistic :). the shadowing is also a good touch to give you depth and a shape of the image. good use of shadowing and color to indicate the image of the transformer

Lego People

The positioning of the Lego people is really working because it makes them seem three-dimensional. I like the way he has placed them with direction from one another, giving each piece a sense of movement. He has a good use of contrast, the colors chosen really make the legos pop out from the background color.
