A Little Steampunk

I just have to post this steamship somewhere -

in all its glorious steampunkiness!

A couple friends and I were working hard on

a tangle book about steampunk

and somewhere along the line all our

hard work just got lost and pushed aside.

Abandoned.

 I thought I'd pull a few of my pieces of art out

and share them today!

My steamship in the first photo should be

featured in 

Just Steampunk Magazine's next issue.

 The three of us had developed a load of

steampunk tangle patterns and were making

pieces of art showcasing those patterns.

 I finally published a bunch of those tangle patterns

in my Tangle Starts Planner.

Actually, I included a total of 106 tangle patterns

in that book.

My friends Sandra Strait and Christine Reyes

both had sections of their own patterns in the

planner as well.

Actually, while I'm talking about it -

the planner is set up to start at any time during the year.

You set the monthly, weekly, daily pages up

the way you want them to be.

Then there are all these new patterns,

places to store thumbnails of your favorite patterns,

lots of extra pages for collections, notes, and

places to tangle.

If any of this sounds interesting to you,

you can read about - and see some of the inside pages -

here.

And

you can order your own copy on Amazon - 

here. 

 OK, commercial over.

I really love this piece above.

I made it with alcohol inks on Yupo Paper.

So much fun!

 I used this for an Art on a Shoe String post.

Cheap Walmart school row watercolor can

give you some beautiful color!

 I am really proud of these last two.

Bramhall is the dragon above.

Bramhall got a full page in the August, 2017,

issue of Just Steampunk Magazine.

Not long after Bramhall, I got a request from a young

cousin 

asking if I would draw a dragon for his

new bedroom.

So I flipped Bramhall, added a few flowing details,

and some color and shipped him off to Connor.

Connor appropriately named him Frost

and Frost is proudly hanging in Connor's

new bedroom.

Frost got a full page feature in the

February, 2018, issue of

Just Steampunk Magazine.

I hope you enjoyed my steampunk rambling here.

There were so many other pieces made for the

book that never happened. 

I will show you more in a post soon. 

Interested in tangling up a bunch of steampunk?

Here is a link to two of my Pinterest boards 

dedicated to steampunk art and

tangle patterns. Just click here and here. 

I would love to see what you do.

Steampunk is fun and so flexible and forgiving.

You just can't go wrong.
