metalcomix 01

First in what I hope will become a series of experiments in comics + metalwork hybrids. Deliberately kept the figures simple (wayward bolts) to focus on the sequential narrative, a SQUID GAME-inspired tug of war between the last two standing, and the unlikely victory taking place. In addition to the wayward bolts, this experiment was made from jack stand remnants, a strand of chainlink fence, a slow moving vehicle sign, and $12 worth of weldable steel.

Enraged at my inability to make another WIP work yesterday afternoon, I grabbed whatever I could find - a hoe head and some unused pipe caps - and, this afternoon, after a morning of staring, gave him a body (mostly the non-reel bits of a reel mower, but there's some chainlink fence and garage spring in there) and a name, Sergio (chosen because that's the first name I imagined shouting if he fell). Still can't make the other piece work, but at least I have Sergio.
