It was late at night after a long day when I saw Charley’s post and was simply stumped as to how I was going to respond and went to bed exhausted.  I woke refreshed and decided to tackle my dilemma.  First thing was to find out what “MON JOUET” meant in English.  I assumed correctly it was French and found it translated as “MY TOY”.  An image came to mind that I had made some years before when an art director had given me this toy Godzilla and asked me to create an image with instructions to “have some fun”.  So I built a city for the monster to destroy.  Using clay (to construct the smashed freeway overpass), old toy vehicles, train set towers and trees plus painted cardboard cutouts for the city skyline I was on my way.  I don’t know about you but I can just hear this bad boy say “My toy!”
