Randy Regier's Machine to Dispel Sadness

#Art

Sun, Apr 27th, 2014 22:12 by capnasty NEWS

My favourite artist, Randy Regier, who we featured back in July of 2011 with his Nu Penny Toy Store, has released these set of images for his first prototype of a sadness dispelling machine. As typical of his beautiful toys, this one screams 1950 sci-fi film with its retro lines and polished good looks.

In an experiment to dispel sadness I built a machine just for that purpose. This is the first of a series of experimental machines for this purpose, thus the X-1. So far, I am pleased to report that it is working.
