Shoelace-tying Machine

Here's my entry for Illustration Friday's "Super Hero" topic.

Click here for the full-sized image.

James needed a super hero, and he needed one NOW.

This is a picture I drew of a shoelace-tying machine. I like the juxtaposition of how big and frightening it is compared to the simplicity of its task.

Inspired by Charlie and the Chocolate Factory (movie).

With no real emotion,
G. Caprice


UPDATE:

Okay, okay. It doesn't really fit the topic, so here's an extra picture. Sorry for the dodgy scan. I drew it on scrap paper, so you can see the text through it.

He's the Rodinator. I'm not exactly sure what his powers are, but I'm sure he's got some. Guesses welcome.

love it, very cool idea. It looks like it might accidentally rip the boy's leg off... it could be just the encouragement the boy needed for him to learn how to tie his own laces :)

Teri said...

Oh funny! I could use this on my superhero's boots.

I think there are times when we could all use a superhero! Good job ;-)

Kimbu said...

That's great. I am nearlt 40 and I still haven't learnt to tie my shoelaces properly. There is a market for this - honest!

Nice work

georg said...

Very funny and clever idea - why shouldn't the first image fit in the theme? It is a super-hero-thing with all it's power and scaring "dingenoter".

(I'm sorry, I can't see your second image)

Thanks for your kind comment at my blog. I'm not from Australia, but from Denmark - thankyou very much to you australians for giving us a beautiful, clever and very nice crownprincess!


Hugs from Denmark - georg
