Where can I Buy your stuff?
Can I Order a Commission?
Here! or, at my Etsy, or at Basking Dragons
I’ve got a few things in the shop for sale, and I work with Attention Span Games to vend much of my stuff at local conventions. However, with Covid rampaging through the country side, conventions are cancelled.
So I have partnered with Basking Dragons, a gallery of local artists to both display and sell much of my stock on hand! If you’re in the Tacoma area, do pay them a visit!
I've also recently partnered with Red Bubble, and I'm gradually putting branded merchandise up: HERE
Of course!
Let’s talk about what you want, what you're looking for, and all the options of materials.
I see you do Steampunk. What is that?
It's not as complicated as you might think, and it's easily one of the most common questions I hear, so I've gotten pretty good at answering it.
'Punk' is a term that is tagged onto a number of genre, with Steampunk being the most common. There's Dieselpunk, Atompunk and Cyberpunk for some other examples, which will allow me to explain better. When something is 'Punked' it's taking a genre to it's plausible next step while keeping the technology within a certain time period.
Dieselpunk has a aesthetic of wartime, usually between WWI and WWII all metal and combustion engines, heavy machines and thick armor.
Atompunk or 'Raypunk' is after that, the 'Retro' age of the 50's-70's, a pre-digital 'Buck Rogers' kind of feel.
Cyberpunk is the not-too-distant-future, high-digital age, that borders on sci-fi. Usually it's a combination of 'dystopian low life/high tech' with layers of organized crime, mega-corporations and privatized police.
So let’s circle back to Steampunk, it's taking the same ideas I discussed, back to the age of Steam, late 1800's to the early 1900's. Using the technology and style of that age, and letting your imagination run absolutely buck wild! There's no wrong way to do Steampunk, some prefer the elegant high-life of the shiny gadgets and the dapper outfits. I, however, prefer the other side of the coin, the grit the grime, the blue collar workman who's gadgets are no longer shiny, because they're tools to do a job. Even if that job is fighting robotic automatons.
