2. Steampunky Goodness

I continue to convalesce. Getting bored, but have relatively little energy to do anything much about it. Haven't been up to drawing again yet, however I have been able to do some online research for the steampunk Oz piece I need to get cracking on.



I remembered an article on a steampunk exhibit by Irene Gallo on amazing artist Eric Freitas who makes these to-die-for organic-looking brass clocks. Completely by hand.

You must go look at his gallery and see samples and close-ups of his pieces, which are mind-blowing.

Since I will never ever be able to afford one of his actual clocks, I consoled myself with a purchase of this set of cards - with photos of views of his mechanical clock #6 clock on the fronts and drawings on the backs, along with a card describing his painstaking, highly detailed creative process. It really is too gorgeous to be believed.

Ah, all in the name of research. :-)
