Blueprints


Here are the designs for the JFK action figure, the scale is 2:1, double the size of the sculpted version. The squares around the waist are where the legs will bend. The design is influenced by the original Kenner Star Wars line, rigid, with a bold style.

WAMPA! Snow creature from Hoth.

Here are some really cool toys I found in Harrow, Its odd as they all represent things I loved as a boy.


The lady in the shop gave me this for free! Its the Crusader Batman from Kenner's 1994 toyline Legend's of Batman. He has Powerful Punching Action, and would have come with a trading card.
This toyline was renowned for its detail, and you can see, he's ripped!

Here is the actual toy if I was to buy it in 1994, I'm missing the cape, and rocket launcher, but I personally don't think he needs it.


Look at this! Its a 1982 Wampa from Kenner's Star Wars line. I found it in Harrow for 15p. This awesome looking replica has movable legs and spring loaded arms that can knock over obstacles. Hoth Wampa's hands can even hold an action figure above his head or drag it along the ground. 


The actual toy, dragging Luke.

who keeps saying WAMPA! The quality's not great.


HEROES, ALL OF THEM.

Autopsy

These pictures are from the autopsy of JFK, and also show theories of the bullets entries, the scientific drawings are something that could be incorporated into box art.













Lovely Day



Reinventing ACTION FIGURES

I've chosen to produce action figures based on the Assassination of John F. Kennedy by Lee Harvey Oswald. I've chosen to make Figures as I collect things, and I have some, and have always liked the way they are designed, and packaged. I picked the assassination as I'm born on the same day, and have always been interested in it.
here are some frames from Abraham Zapruder's famous film documenting the day.









Environment Animation

I created this for the second part of the summer project, to fight littering.





Two frames from the animation showing detail.





An experimental film I made from one sheet of paper, where I would rub away the previous frame, and re-draw it over.
