Mikro's inspiration for this week's Illustration Friday topic was his recently acquired Hex Bug, a little robot toy that resembles an insect. He is hoping to acquire more of them, so the swarm in his case is pretty much wishful thinking...
I had a couple of different ideas that I sketched out. One of them is the so-called immortal jellyfish, which has the ability when threatened to regress itself to an earlier stage of development, essentially turning back time, and becoming a polyp, which buds and produces a swarm of gentically identical polyps, which grow into more jellyfish. What an amazing ability! My other idea is inspired by my addiction to information and stories...
lots of great swarm ideas here, I your childs wishful thinking one. I've seen those bug toys they are kind of fun. I like the book illustration I went along a similar line for my submission
