Well, I have been featured in the Artisan-Craft Features 18.  They posted a pic of the Excelsior Goggles alongside a great collection of other artist's works that I think everyone should go over and check out.  There is even a golden cat with wings.  How can you go wrong with that?

Thanks to everyone gets a chance to look at the page.

I'm very happy to announce that my Faraday Goggles have been purchased from my etsy store.  I have received some comments on these particular goggles to the effect that they don't really meet the criteria of steampunk due to some of the more electrical elements that I used.  I find that really amusing since both steampunk and the suggested category of teslapunk are both fictional in the first place.  I do understand the argument that to some extent these did not strictly adhere to only having gears and copper pipes that might portray a steam powered artifact but I prefer to think that my other persona, Proffessor John M. Blaylock, has traveled through time and the aether to gather all sorts of gadgets and whatnot to make these transdimensional items.  Plus, to speak from a strictly realistic standpoint I view steampunk as a genre of art and artwork is very fluid depending on the imagination of the artist.

With all that said, I am very glad these sold and it does help to recharge the old creative batteries that seemed to have depleted quite a lot over the last couple of months.  I hope to begin again at posting new stuff and letting everyone see how the Steamworks Emporium is growing.

Thanks.

A few days ago I got a message from a fellow deviant artist, xtraneus xtraneus.deviantart.com/, asking if he could have permission to feature some of my work on his website.  Well, of course I said YES!!!!  I was really floored and excited to be asked because I am always grateful when people enjoy my work and I take their complements to heart.  Tonight I got the message from him that the page entry was ready and he had put it up on his site.  I am featured along with another steampunk artisan, Amiee Steinberger aimeekitty.deviantart.com/, who made a retrofitted nerf gun into a steampowered sidearm and a 3D artist, Oscar Blanco otas32.deviantart.com/, who did a cool Ipod image.  

I appreciate it anytime someone comments on my deviations because it helps me realize that there are others who share my love of steampunk and I also hope that I can inspire others in some way to try their hand at creating their own steampunk machinations.  It is so much fun to make these things and see works of art come from what would otherwise be cast off bits of "junk".

Greetings fellow Deviant Artists.  I have recently been featured in the newsletter for the group #Sellers-Showcase in their Artisan Craft folder and I wanted to share this good news.  The Sellers-Showcase is a group dedicated to helping all artists get more exposure for their work and to try to make that translate into sales for those struggling artists.  They are very friendly and helpful and I feel very honored to have been mentioned in their newsletter.  Please check out their group page and the newsletter to find out more about all of the really great artists in the sellers group: sellers-showcase.deviantart.co…
