Pokémon

Pokémon (poke-a-mon)
(n) Digital creatures that exist in the world around us. They can typically be found in the wild, but some are created in laboratories (aka test-tube Pokémon). Some humans breed them, but most will simply catch them in devices known as Pokeballs. They can be trained, but note that some will not take kindly to being captured.

1. A figurine of Meowth, a cat-like Pokemon. Meowth has a golden coin on his forehead, most likely a symbol of good-fortune.
2. A figurine of Vulpix, a firefox Pokemon. Vulpix is rare and known to be shy.
3. A figurine of Scyther, a bug Pokemon. Built like a praying-mantis, Scyther are well-known to be tough fighters with their blade-like claws.
4. A figurine of Gyrados, a sea-faring dragon Pokemon. Gyrados are known to travel the seas, and are often-times mistaken for the lockness monster.
5. A figurine of Psyduck, a psychic duck-like Pokemon. Often mistaken as stupid, Psyduck is a very confused Pokemon because he constantly has migranes.
6. A figurine of Squirtle, a turtle-like Pokemon. Squirtle's hard shell keeps him protected from enemy attacks.
7. A figurine of Hitmonlee, a fighting-style Pokemon. Hitmonlee is well-known to pack a kick so hard that he can move a mid-sized SUV out of the way.
8. A figurine of Charizard, a fire-dragon Pokemon. Charizard is well-known to be one of the most-feared Pokemon because of his potential to spray flames in the direction of those he does not like.
9. A figurine of Golem, a rock-type Pokemon. Golem is covered in a thick layer of stones that keep him protected, and give him great strength.
10.A figurine of Pikachu, an electric-rat type Pokemon. Pikachu are known to shock people passing by, so be wary if you see one in the bushes!

I was thinking I might give them all new paint-jobs, perhaps in black with neon stripes, somewhat similar to tron. I might put them on pedestals that would be painted black.

  1. I think the pedestal idea is interesting. It introduces the language of "fine arts" as if you're presenting a sculpture. The way you give the new paint job is important too. Maybe it should be a mini museum show? Or documenting them as photographs as if they are "high art."
