Very creepy/cool automaton... the description says that the clown waves his wand and lifts his hat to reveal changing items beneath it.

There is nothing humdrum about afternoon tea spent in the company of a certain wooden boy that enjoys nothing more than telling made up stories a little too much for his own good…

 

This whole series of paintings - titled The Secret Life Of Toys - revolves around an imagined magical playroom, and is inspired by vintage toys, automatons and sweet memories of childhood. As a munchkin that loved dreaming up what my playthings were up to when I wasn't around, I am so happy to finally jot these flights of fancy down on canvas!

 

I created these for a 'painted editorial', featured in this month's La Petite Magazine (issue 6, pp. 58-63) , and after having ooh-ed and aah-ed for quite some time over their lovely publication, I was thrilled to be approached by them a while ago for a collaboration to be featured in their latest issue.I have been working on this project behind-the-scenes, and now that the magazine's current issue is released, I am so excited to be able to share this painted editorial with you!

This 'painted editorial' is now a fashion spread, and I must admit I had the loveliest of times working on this feature, especially since I got to style what each little cutie wears myself!

We first read the The Invention of Hugo Cabret by Brian Selznick back in January, but when we found it at the library a couple of weeks ago, there was no hesitation about bringing it home.

 

This photo and the rest we have tagged with Hugo Cabret illustrate some of the many reasons why we recommend the book. Here's a list of some of those reasons:

 

1. It is a beautifully illustrated cross between a comic book and a novel.

 

2. At the beginning of the book there is a visual reference to Charles and Ray Eames Powers of Ten.

 

3. A large portion of the book takes place in a train station. We love trains.

 

4. There is an automaton (mechanical man) in the book.

 

5. In addition to the illustrations, the book contains many historical photographs and film stills including some from Le Voyage Dans La Lune (A Trip to the Moon) by Georges Méliès.

 

6. The author included a list of sources at the end for further investigation.

WildC.A.T.S./Aliens; Automaton; Silverstorm

By Michael Vance

 

WildC.A.T.S./Aliens #1/$4.95 and 44 pages from Image and Dark Horse Comics/Warren Ellis: story; Chris Sprouse: pencils/sold in comics shops and by mail.

 

The alien bugs are back. Now the only question left is who will fight and exterminate them … again.

 

It seems a reasonable assumption just from the title and cover of WildC.A.T.S./Aliens,

this is the latest and obvious attempt to cash in on the popularity of the Aliens movies and the superhero genre.

 

It is a questionable assumption, and dead wrong.

 

Tightly plotted and precisely scripted, this comic book kicks as … er, aliens. Dialog and characterizations are believable. Even if you are unfamiliar with or uninterested in the superhero genre, you will still care about Grifter, Void, Warblade and cast.

 

They teleport to a quarantined space station circling Earth that has been infested by everyone’s favorite acid-spitting monsters. Their less than surprising mission is to bring everyone but those bugs out and back to Earth.

 

They do most of that surprisingly well with some good twists.

 

Much credit belongs to the artist and his supporting team on WildC.A.T.S./Aliens. They successfully bring an intensity and visual clarity to this story sadly missing from too many comics. In particular, the penciller’s clean, distinct style is dynamic without being overblown. Pyrotechnics are climatic only when they are not overused. Muscle boy poses get stale very quickly.

 

Despite its predictability, this is an intense, rip-roaring adventure. Easily one of the best comics in its genre for 1998, WildC.A.T.S./Aliens is highly recommended for everyone except preteens.

 

MINIVIEW: Automaton [Image/Flypaper Press]. Three NASA robots sent to Mars return to Earth possessed by gaseous Martians. When one goes berserk, a scientist, “SWAT’ team, and the remaining Martian automatons battle to stop his bloodfest. Mind candy, but fun stuff. Recommended.

 

MINIVIEW, TO: Silverstorm #1 [Silverline Comics]. An unusual hybrid of corporate and superhero intrigue set in New Orleans that is weakened by its art.

Sentient combat automaton built to deal as much damage as it takes. Sentinel's kinetic shields channel the energy of incoming attacks into its two rapid fire cannons, increasing the force behind each blast. While it lacks speed, Sentinel's impressive defensive and offensive capabilities should not be underestimated.

 

Build notes: I had so much fun building Zelus Maestro that I decided to build another automaton in the same style. I've really been wanting to use those vehicle base pieces for a while, and I'm glad I finally found a spot for them on a build. The horns on the head and shell-like armor plating reminded me of a stag beetle, hence the "lucanus" part of the name. Not intentionally ripping off the Plague Mech series, but we're starting to head that way.

“Absolut Quartet” was inspired by the tradition of musical automatons. This six-meter-long installation made a name for itself with an appearance in a commercial for Absolut Vodka. “Absolut Quartet” consists of three robotic musical instruments; completing the foursome is an installation visitor, who prescribes the musical motif. Software developed in collaboration with composers uses this sequence as a point of departure for the computation of a three-minute piece. Here, the user-input sounds don’t serve as a melody; instead, they’re interpreted as a set of rules. Finally, the piece is performed by a robot orchestra. A marimba is played by firing balls with incredible accuracy from several meters away at the instrument’s five-centimeter-wide wooden bars; 42 robot arms and a hundred rubber balls keep the sounds coming. Harmonies are provided by a wineglass organ whose 35 hand-made glasses are played by high-tech robot fingers covered by rawhide tips soaked in a special solution that displays the same properties as water but doesn’t evaporate.
