SCULPTURE: "Cycloptopus"

I just finished my latest little project. This diorama was inspired by cover art for science fiction books from the 1950s. At the time, the alien creatures probably seemed a bit scary to readers. But I love the humor that is baked into that retro-future. This beast of mine is a "Cycloptopus" (I didn't come up with that term...google it and you'll find lots of variations on that theme). And the little guy with the jet pack...he needs to look where he's walking.
