Steampunk Exhibits and Expos!


At long last I can openly mention the Steampunk Exhibit that will be featuring the work of myself and several other Gentlemen, in the UK this fall. Curated by Art Donovan, this exhibit features some of the newest and best contraptions in the Steampunk genre, all housed together for the very first time at the Museum of the History of Science in Oxford, England. This is a very exciting time for all involved! Unfortunately due to the new arrival on the way, funding will be almost impossible for a trip out there, but I will be there in spirit along with my other comrades of steam. The event will run October 13, 2009 - February 21, 2010.



The pieces that will be displayed from Steam Gear Lab, will be the Steampunk "EYE" pod, that was featured on Boing-Boing, Make, and other techie websites across the Internet earlier this year. I also have 4 new pairs of custom sculpted goggles that will be on display as well. (Pictures will be posted of those soon as well.)


Also in the works, Steam Gear Lab will be hosting the Steampunk side of the GAMEX Convention happening in October. We are in the works of setting up guest artists, contests and activities that are Steampunk related to give East Cost-ers an option besides SteamCon this fall. The event will run Oct 23th - 25th at the Greater Philadelphia Expo Center



Hope to see some of you at these events!

Fable: Teeth of Beasts trailer released


Below is the fist look at Fable: Teeth of Beasts by Medicine Show Cinema. This was the film we did props for last August. The following is quoted from their website. Be sure to check out the exclusive trailer at the end!
***********************************************

In August of 2007 Writer/Producer David R Williams and Writer/Producer/Director Sean Michael Argo teamed up to make a quantum leap into the world of independent filmmaking. Both had churned the waters of no and extremely lo budget horror. But this project was going to be a bit different. This project was going to have what could almost be called a real budget - at least a "real budget" as compared to the budgets of the previous productions they were involved with. This was going to be a "big" movie. With multiple locations, a large cast, epic story arc and some sort of visual fx in just about every shot. This was FABLE: TEETH OF BEASTS a dark fantasy epic seasoned with elements of film noir, cyber and steam punk, black magic, action, horror, and an ass-kicking female hero. Not to mention a white trash pregnant muscle car driving goddess of the desert, mythological creatures updated, one of the creepiest child molesters ever put on film, and Ouija board modding frankenscience witches. The basic story? A demon seeks to destroy the city of Fable, a city that exists between the worlds of magic and science, reality and fantasy, the mundane and the amazing. One woman, the aforementioned ass-kicking Lilith Noir played by the beautiful and buxom Melantha Blackthorne stands between the demon and the end of the city she calls home. Close to a year later with a good part of that spent creating the visual fx that populate nearly every shot (maybe every shot) and the film is nearly ready for release.


The trailer can be found HERE.

Thanks for looking!
