The images were actually created by randomly making dots and squiggles in MSPaint. I connect them, I add a few minor details when I see some interesting shapes, then trace over it in Photoshop. They all start as mindless doodles until I say "hmmm well this looks like an hourglass, or a fish, etc." In the future, the process will most likely change such as an Image Generator online or have a collective group of people submit ideas. Until then its just random Paint scribbles :)
