What is aarting? Aarting is a Contemporary Art brand located in New York. Aarting exists to create high quality, limited edition art products from designs submitted and chosen by its members. Aarting is a true Democratic art form- one that is of, by and for the people.
Aarting's previous toy design is the 'Blankie' -designed for a competition to customize the figure, see the winning designs for series 1 & series 2 (soon to be released).
Also, the aarting blog is full of amazing design, art, toys, fashion, technology, etc... so check it out!
this drawing is really rough, but I really liked the half-way-there unfinished state it is in; the design is pretty clear, and just leaves a few things left to resolve. (i.e. is that a hole or an eye? Xenon?)
standard Moleskine paper is pretty lousy. The ink had bled through the last drawing so much I just sort of went with the smudgy shape already happening, and ended up with a melting squid-like MACRODON figure...
another of my recent faves, after making a clay sculpt of "BOGEY", I really liked the idea of 3-legged MACRODONS, and in this case, I think it would be almost symmetrical.
déjà vu, I really feel like I've made this exact drawing before... and maybe I have. I need to go through the last year of MACRODONS again and see how many drawings turned out to be repeats, known, or unknown to me (?)
