    These are gorgeous, but to my mind Kawaguchi owes Jim Woodring some money.

  3. I have to agree with M. And Vanessa's point may be true as well. I see differences in the designs, but the differences are marginal.

  4. Awesome designs. Some of these remind me of Ernst Haeckel's Kunstformen der Natur (Artforms of nature).

  6. I love the ones that look like a hybrid of a Goomba and a Metroid.

    i thought robotics were supposed to be functional and then aesthetic/conceptual - then again, i'm not exactly linear either.
    they'd probably do better as an exclusive line of vinyl toys.

    @ Vanessa & Timothy: I went to see this today and I disagree-- I don't think they look much like Woodring's work at all. I think perhaps it's just that they both use bright primary colours and organic shapes, but there are definitely differences.
