Action Figure Series I: R2-D2
- by Aimee L. Dingman
This week's theme: Dragon-Con
Here in the States, this year's Labor Day weekend is August 31st to September 3. It's the last official weekend of summer. Its also the weekend that Atlanta hosts the largest Sci-Fi and Fantasy convention in the world. It's an annual event that draws thousands of people from all over the world. At Dragon-Con you will find everything science fiction and fantasy in gaming, art, film, music, comics and literature. This week's Art of the Day pays tribute to Dragon-Con, the people who participate in and attend the convention and the creativity that inspires and drives it.
In trying to work out the best methods of painting worn-out action figures, I've started a sub-series of my regular toy paintings. This is my husband's R2-D2 figure from childhood. The sticker is worn off from being wet too many times; R2's normal white appearance is yellowed from being in a smoking home for his earliest years. Paint is scratched off everywhere. It is difficult to convey that kind of detail on such a small object, but I enjoyed this attempt and look forward to others!
