Inspiration and Play: #30DaysOfArtChallenge 

While hosting our weekly Lego Unschool Group, the kids needed little direction, so I opened a book on logo design with the idea of playing with three-dimensional branding.

These squids caught my attention, but I wanted more than a collection of creatures.

Three elements came together, almost on their own, and this alien eye cried out for a body and a story.

The eye became a curious and confused scientist. It was observing a world with which it could hardly interact.

Somewhat cruelly, I constructed a scene and story where none of the elements seem to belong. It is an alien world inhabited by beings that do not fit.

The Scientist seems to be asking me for arms or tentacles. I thought about an additional critter or droid to assist.

Something tells me this isn’t the Scientist’s laboratory, but the workplace of another unusual creature.

Perhaps this story requires further exploration.
