My Bio
I currently live in Richmond, Virginia, but I probably wont live here very long. I'm always moving for one reason or another. I'm married to a beautiful and smart lady who shares many of my hobbies and eccentricities, and those she doesn't share, she accepts. I'm an artist of many talents, but I'm not an expert at any form or medium of art. If you look at my gallery you'll notice I jump around from one thing to another. Yes I AM color blind... not completely of course, but I do have a hard time properly identifying and recognizing colors. I wasn't always color blind, it came upon me in the last half of my life, so I know what colors SHOULD look like, I just don't see them that way any more. So if I know the name of a color, I can usually properly use it in an art project.

I got into Steampunk around late 2009 and have jumped boots first into that world. I was lucky that Cincinnati and Ohio in general had a great and large Steampunk community, which allowed me to gain many friends and grow into the steampunk community. Now in Richmond, VA though, my wife and I are working to build a Steampunk community that will allow us to have a similar social life as we had in Cincinnati.

I try to do some tabletop gaming now and then, hence all my painted miniatures, but I don't do it regularly any more. I have had so many hobbies in my lifetime, that I often have to "trade in and out" of them so as not to fill my home with unused junk. I often sell off the accoutrements of one hobby to be able to enter into another.
Before my disability really kicked and and prevented me from working, I did simple HTML coding, converted learning materials to online formats and handled content management for a Distance Learning bachelor's degree programs that are administered through the Blackboard learning environment.
Now I'm a house husband and the only work I do you see here. I sell most of it at conventions, and sometime on etsy.

So I've made a LOT of goggles. Like a LOT. More than I've shared on here to be sure. They usually sell pretty quick when I get a chance to vend somewhere, but they are slow to sell on Etsy. Probably just that whole "I want to handle them before I buy them" thing? Anyway, so I have a few more pairs that I finished recently, and I've been debating whether to share them cause I figure you all are tired of seeing them. Should I share them or shouldn't I? Should I always share my goggles projects with Deviantart? Let me know what you think.

Hi everyone, I know a lot of you follow me because you like how I often explain how I've made my guns or goggles, and give materials lists. Well this week I did something I've been meaning to do forever. I made a set of Youtube tutorials covering my entire process for making/painting a Steampunk blaster. I literally videod EVERY part of the process from just out of the package to finished. If you REALLY want to see what it takes to make what I make, these videos will show you. Here is the link to the playlist: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLObxyE0BOyTnFbSR0bKOiPykvVTerFLre I'll soon be submitting a deviation with the blaster I cre

At the end of April I'll be traveling back to my old city of Cincinnati, to attend the International Steampunk Symposium. But before then I'm working on one last project: A set of "NERF" dueling pistols to enter into the NERF duel competition. (NERF is in parentheses because they aren't NERF branded.) I'll try to get pictures of them up on DA before I leave, I don't know yet how soon I'll be done with them.
