Hot Wheels: Tornado Alley, 2009

My 3.5 year-old son has a Hot Wheels set entitled Tornado Alley, which features a toy tornado gyroscope. The goal is to launch Hot Wheels cars at the tornado and knock it off balance before it lays waste to a parking lot. I laid carbon paper over drawing paper and then released the tornado on top, allowing it to meander and draw until it stopped spinning and fell over. The resulting drawing is the path of the tornado’s destruction.

There are fourteen 15 x 22” drawings in the series.
