Shio – Otherworldly Lights
I am fascinated by techniques that involve 'growing' structures using unattended processes. It's probably because I grew up in the eco-seventies and we were all to be living in bio-engineered domes with living real grass carpeting by now! Artist Daniel MacDonald's strongly suggests those same forms and leaves me both nostalgic
New art by Aaron Ristau
Back in October Meredith visited briefly with Aaron Ristau at Maker Faire Austin. Aaron is a sculptor who works primarily with found bits of technological detritus, from his website: Technology surrounds us. Products are obsolete within an ever decreasing amount of time, putting an increasing strain on our ability
Art Donovan’s Stunning Shiva Mandala
I had the honor of sharing space in a gallery show with Art last year in the Hamptons. I've long admired his Steampunk lamps and I particularly like that his work often incorporates elements that are reminiscent of pulp science fiction cover art – there's always a touch of
Gianni Fanelli: Dream of iron
From Social Design Zine in Italy comes this article about sculptor and metalworker Gianni Fanelli. It appears to be a review of the artist’s recent show and the reviewer clearly liked what they saw – at least that’s sure what it looks like to me viewing the Google translated

Spanish Steampunk!
From the workshop of Gonzalo Álvarez comes these wonderful clocks and furniture! Gonzalo lives and works on the island of Tenerife. He is a maker of fanciful clocks and furniture as well as, it seems, special effects – but my Spanish is non-existent so I cannot be sure. I
Fairy Magic Lantern
I have been terribly remiss in not publishing this earlier! It came to me when I was very busy and I lost the original message somewhere in the bowels of gmail. Fortunately, I came across it today and vowed to post immediately! My apologies to the artist for this
Stonybrook Fine Arts- DIY space in Boston
I’ve been chillaxing for awhile now in Boston. It’s very unusual that I stay in a place for more than 3 nights, and I’ve been here 3 weeks. The reason for my extended stay is Stonybrook Fine Arts, a bad-ass DIY space, classroom, metal shop. This is exactly the
The Ordinator: Slighty Baffling but Beautiful Sculpture
I’m not entirely sure what I am looking at here, but the ‘Ordinator‘ by Flickr user Imajilon is a pretty sexy bit of workmanship. It’s like some weird steampunk/psychedilic milkshake. I want to pull the levers and run my hands over the grill; expecting electrical shocks and vision quests.
