Here are some more pics for my Crusader Robot under Salah ad-Din. Still steampunk-but with an Islamic/Ottoman flair. The helmet was based on the Sultan's Calvary and the armor was based off of the foot soldiers. The ax is more of a Persian design.Here is the completed body (but unpainted)...and his Axe.And a peek of his back side and it's inner workings

Here are some robot heads that I have completed (bodies to come). All Steampunk.And this one is for an Ottoman or Crusader robot that is in the works

Here is something that you can make at home. Just print out the image on heavy paper and cut along the lines. The deer circle fits inside the larger circle. Enjoy

Here is the consumer version of my Iron Horse-my 4 legged steam punk walker. I still need to add a Howitzer and possibly a Gatling Gun (and do the detail work on the carriage). I envision this for large farms where the workers drag several tilling machines behind. The Royal army would use this to get a higher vantage point and maneuver the large cannons into a better position.Stay tuned to see

Here is the next step to my Victorian Walker. I am so excited to have the 2 standing side by side. I haven't figured out how the guns should be, but I will jump off that bridge when I get there. And the detail of the interior of the carriage. I modeled this off of an old 1880 delivery horse drawn carriage. I still have some iron work to add, but it's coming along nicely.

After a stint of the blues for a less than stellar experience with a client back in February.....I finally got started with a couple of projects that I could sink my teeth into. I created a skull mask for Elisa-which I will post in the coming days. A new Steampunk Mech that I am working on as well as an art trade with Stefan Bucher (creater of DailyMonster.com). Right now is the beginnings of my

I had three back to back projects and finally finished them (the Charger being the first). Here are pics of the 2nd.The Portland Paper project was a show showcasing paper artists in Portland creating Portland Landmarks. Here is my Steel Bridge.Here is a detail of what I think is in the control house-Zombies and Squirrels (the zombie is in the subroom-you can see the hand....kind of)And finally

I finally finished the "Crashed Charger" project and am now creating a comp for a Fashion Show (that will be shot Sunday-I hope) as well as a "Landmarks of Portland" show (which is due on the 17th). BUT the car is done.Here are the pics:Car with the interior placed in and completed engine compartment.I tried to add some great details-like the Magic8Ball gear shift, radio knobs and speedometer and

Middle of a new project where I have to create a scene from a novel. Here is the mock up of the Charger in the scale that I think I will need.Actually-I miscalculated and have to take off an inch in the middle (not so fat)since I already created the cab interior. Fun times.

So-with the holidays finally over I can start anew. My first completed project is a small one. I cut a large sticker and place it on my work notebook. Last year I just drew on the cover-this year I did something more. It's not much-but it's a start.

Here are some more animals (with some completed ones as well).This Snow Leopard is probably my favorite of the group. Although the Arctic Fox is a close second.Here is the complete Polar Bear family....and finally-two Artic Hares.I still have a deer and a white wolf-so check back soon (probably this coming weekend)

Greetings. Here is the start of a Christmas pop-up card that I was tasked to create to give to the owners of our company. This will be the third one that I created for the company(earlier posts show the first one). This theme is winter creatures. I anticipate nine creatures in all. Here is what I have created thus far...Comp for an Arctic Fox.Here is a Snow Owl.Here is the start of the Polar Bear

Here are some more pics of the Octopus mask. I am actually done....but Elisa wanted to take a picture of it tomorrow in natural light....and the glue still needs to dry.Here is head all primered up and ready for the metallic work to be done.Here is the filigreed arm ready to take the metal paint. You can see the eyes right above it.Here is the finished octopus arm with the enamel.

Greetings. The robot was put on hold for a request of an Octopus Mask for Halloween. Here are the first images of what I am creating. It will be similiar to my Chimera mask where there will be filigree on some of the arms and on the head. I am still thinking if it will be brushed metal or maybe a metallic green.A better look at the head:

Coming off of my fantastic experience at Hasbro (and not allowing the Fed Ex fiasco to hamper my elation)-I am starting on a new Steam Punk Mechanized machine based on 17th century Flemish and German armor craftsman(shown in book). Plus early Fowler engine reference. The drawing that I did shows a Spanish Morion Helmet (different from the jousting, closed face ones). Here is the body.And another

Now...I am coming off a great experience with going to Hasbro. I shipped my boxes back and came home to see this. 2 of my 3 boxes were crushed. Here is the pic of the worst of the 2. My Chariot mask is destroyed. Lesson learned here? Fortify your boxes with steel and iron spikes. Notice the fragile sticker? Apparently they didn't. Not shown: "FRAGILE" in huge letters on the two sides and the top.

I created this card to give to the owners of A-dec the first Christmas that I worked there. It had 10 pop-ups.....four are shown here. Enjoy.Here is the size that I created the card to get the desired effect that I wanted.One of the entry pages. Nothing fancy......yet.The center spread.The final page. I wanted something to really WOW them. It was a big hit.Now that being said-I was asked to do

I was invited to show my art at the Hasbro Inspiration Expo. That is where artists are invited to talk about their art with Hasbro designers and artists and engineers (and others) to invigorate their creative juices. I only have 2 pics-but there will be more to come.This is my booth. I tried to bring a nice sampling of my talents.This is the Elephant mask that I created to have folks create a

Here it is. Elisa and myself went to SOAK (a sort of pre-party for BurningMan here in Oregon) We were there for a wedding-which was "Steam Punk" themed. Really-I was there to show off my arm.This lovely lady below is Amanda, one of the two lovely brides of the event (Alana is not pictured).

I am finally done with the arm. All fingers work and the dome lights up. I had another set of lights in the control panel, but the battery kept opening my compartment-so I nixed that. We also have photos at the event-I just have to download them....later.The majority of the arm is paper with a cardboard inner structure. Rubber bands are in the pistons and dental floss is used to control the

We have a friend getting married at the end of June at the SteamPunk Festival and I am creating a mechanical arm. Here are the first pics.Didn't have pictures of the inbetween-here is the arm closer to a finished piece.I need to add the thumb as well as the inside mechanical part to be able to actually move the fingers. And some more gears and gauges and tubes and stuff.

Here is the second mask that I completed for the Vampire Ball here in Portland. A little simplier, but the results are just as stunning.

The mask is done!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!It was based on the Medusa Brooch by Lalique.Of course-the brooch has the snakes going down-I needed them to be facing up( that is why the book is upside down). So here it is. Enjoy

I am almost done with this mask for Kambriel (a friend of Elisa) but am too tired to finish. BUT here is a peek of what is accomplished (The mask is actually 95% done-but I can't show it all now! Need to build the suspense)Intrigued? I'll give you a hint. My mask is based on a brooch from renowned Art Neoveau Artist Lalique.

I think Elisa has a better pic of this one-I created a Sacred Heart for Elisa for a present (several Xmas' ago) and here I am moving it to another location.I will find a better pic so that you can see the thorns and the wings better.

Found this on the digital camera while downloading some pics of my latest mask. This past January-we were hit unexpectedly by a snowstorm. Since I ride a Shadow, I left early. Here is what happened.Here is later that evening:

The Vampire Masquerade Ball is coming up and I will have at least 2 masks attending. I will not give away the identities of the masks-but a clue.........reptiles and demons. If Elisa and I go-then I will have to create 4 masks. Start the coffee pot!

Greetings-I created this as an inspired project for Adobe Systems with Russell Preston Brown. He showed me a very simple mask, made from a Photoshop box. The mask had two holes for the eyes and a large hole for the mouth. We both thought it would be cool to enhance this simple Photoshop masking idea and show how to make a feathered mask with Photoshop CS4. This bird mask was made entirely out of

Alright-I haven't been so good at keeping up to date (that lazy thing). BUT Elisa wanted to revisit her dream series with animals-so I present to you my deermask.Next comes the bull......stay tuned

I finally completed (mostly) my Mech. Here are posted many pics of the finished piece. If I have time later-I may go back to add some more pipes and finish the front of the body (to truely look like an old iron horse). The mech stands 11 inches tall and is entirely paper-no wires, no string, no plastic (it does have pennies in the feet to keep it weighted). I am working on some other Steam Punk

So here are some more pics with minor commentary. Sorry for the long pic post.Here, the feet are complete as well as the body. I had a design change from an upright Mech to more of a chicken walker like ED-209 or the AT-ST.Here is the body. This side shows the gears...most of them. I am still finishing up some cogs and such.And here is the pipe side with a better view of the Gatlin Gun (which is

Construction has begun on a steam driven mechanized walking manlike machine of epic proportions. Crews have finished the boiler and the beams for the legs. Issues with the driver canopy have surfaced. The designer has not decided on whether to have a nice comfortable seat under a canopy or house the driver in an armored carapace. Updates to come....

So, after my 4th of July project-I received alot of compliments about my mech (which didn't burn). So I am creating a series of 10 inch steampunk mechs. I just started on my first one-but here is the originalAnd here is where the hand launched off as planned and exploded. The gun fell off after the first missle took off-then spun in circles while the other 5 shot out. Then the smoke came, but no

Okay-I am not doing this blog thing correctly. I haven't posted in several weeks as well as do any art for several weeks. I am still working on my Propaganda Poster as well as several masks. BUT my lazy butt has been laying about...lazily drinking Hot Buttered Rums playing Bioshock. Speaking of Bioshock-here is a Big Daddy Dunny I finished right before christmas. HA! I did do something.Okay-I

Haven't posted in a while. We had our biggest show at the end of February (my day job is in manufacturing as a tech illustrator) PLUS we had layoffs. We have our regular duties AND had to cover the extra work. My nights consisted of Rum and my Xbox. Currently I am working on some art deco propaganda posters with a twist-but thought I should post something. I did these a while back-but the demon

Elisa has a shoot today and needed two bird masks for the models. Here are the two in the middle of production. I will post some of her pics of the final masks and her models.

WOW! We here in Oregon got pelted with Boston level snow. Living at sea level we don't get very much-but it snowed for a full week and we a whopping 13 inches. Some places got over 18! Anyway-it gave me time to finish this project. I came across an old Victorian print and thought how great it would be in a shadowbox.And the final one...Elisa has a better photo-but she needs to edit what's in her

Here is a mask I did for Elisa for her "Rebirth". This was for the Masquerade Ball that we had several months ago.

Here are the rest of the pictures that my wife Elisa (Visioluxus) shot after the party. All my armor is paper, painted with acrylic and drybrushed with gold. Elisa's bird skull is also paper sealed with acrylic as well.

Well. For someone who has seen the start of the digital age, why have I waited so long to start a blog. Here it goes...Just got finished with the Halloween project (seen here) and so what do I do now? I have a project that I am finishing up for my mother-in-law (but don't want to post it till it's done). We are working on the Heaven's Warriors and here is my latest mask-it's a work in progress.
