Weekly Bow Tie Guy—The Gump 2.0

Today's Bow Tie Guy is a little different. This evening is when entries for the 3rd Annual Lego Competition at the Quimby Gallery are due. I am entering this, The Gump 2.0. This is patterned after the Gump from L. Frank Baum's The Land of OZ with the palm leave wings. The difference is this has an elephant head, a hot air balloon, a yeti rowing, multiple jet engines, helicopter blades, and is powered by a una-kitty horn. It is a redundancy time machine that has been floating around my head for a while now.

Next week I will be getting back to my endangered species series.

I am better at drawing creatures than machinery, but I took the challenge from Illustration Friday to draw a contraption of some sort this week. (it took me a lot longer). During the college retreat at Lyndon State last Friday, a bit was said about redundancy (I really like the word). So I decided to play with that as well.

I am only counting one bow tie on the kite.
