About this print
A stylised aquatic creature figurine created as part of the Margo Series by Bold Machines, taking the form of a submarine-like robotic vehicle with nautical and monster design elements. The model draws on the folklore of a beast said to inhabit Brooklyn's Gowanus Canal, and is intended as a display piece or character model for collectors interested in creature design and industrial aesthetics. PLA works well for decorative figurines of this kind, providing good surface detail and adequate rigidity for shelf display.

The Gowanus Monster. Legend tells of a beast that haunts the darky depths of Brooklyn's Gowanus Canal. Unsuspecting hipsters who dare to approach the edges of the canal late at night are thought to have looked into the eye of the beast - then hypnotized by the strange glow of the eyes, have jumped into the canal. If they are lucky they are washed up near Whole Foods with no memory of what happened...
As part of the Margo Series - the Gowanus Monster is the Aquatic Robotic Vehicle (ARV) that searches for an ancient underwater city - rumored to be located near the Gowanus Canal. Developed by Mr. Walthersnap, the ARV uses echo location and vacuum tube technology to navigate.
