Super Inspiring
I just bought a book at the Wexner Center book store that has me pretty fired up. It's a collection of photos of Japanese robot toys from the 70's and early 80's entitled Super #1 Robot. There's a brief intro that outlines the history of the "super robot" and the rise and fall of the genre's popularity. There's something very noble and pure about the design of these robots that I'd like to capture in My Giant Robot! I think you might notice the influence as I go. The one shown here is from the book, all beautifully photographed by Tim Brisko, which I highly recommend.
