I figured it was time to get this out in the open. As some of you may have heard last month on my interview on WNPR's Colin McEnroe Show, I Doctor Grymm, am no longer a part of SteamGearLab.com. The decision was made a few months back that I would return to my original freelance business of 16 years, JMARS Design, and bring Doctor Grymm and all of his inventions and design back home where they belong. With this, I have a top notch crew of new and talented Steampunk designers, sculptors, and graphic artists to assist with any current and upcoming projects.
While Steam Gear Lab does still exist and some of the work I did with "Professor Gauthier" still remains there at that site, the bulk of the work done under that company name will be transfered to my original site. This includes my Steam Pug Adventures.
The theme of the JMARS Design website is primarily Retro-Science Fiction, and in the coming months will take a slightly more Steampunk feel to it, including the logo. For now, updates are taking place with links to this blog and direct links to my sets on Flickr. There may also be a completely new section of the website entitled "Doctor Grymm Laboratories". This will be the new home of all Steampunk creations.
In the one year I was associated with SGL I created a good amount of film prop work, international recognition with my Eye-Pod, and even put together a Gallery Show to showcase a years worth of work with some amazing guest artists.
The bottom line is that this past year I did grow as an artist. Luckily I believe I will continue to grow, and be able to offer an even more imaginative world of Steampunk in this upcoming year. As news of the Steampunk Exhibition grows in the UK, more and more people are beginning to realize that Doctor Grymm is, and always has been, his own creative entity, and really my work is no different than it has been for years under the title of JMARS Design.
So what does the future hold for Doctor Grymm Laboratories? There are several films, and attractions we will be building props for, puppets for an upcoming traveling show, consulting with a published writer on a series of Steampunk novels, and in July... The Steampunk Bizarre 2 - The Experiment! Yes you've heard it here first! An all new exhibit at a much bigger venue in CT featuring over 13 Steampunk artists and their amazing, dark and whimsical contraptions. It will truely be an interactive show not to miss!
For now, thanks for listening, and I will be working in the lab dilligently. Stay tuned for more updates!
Be Grymm...
