Steampunk Surfer -- final

"I say Cowabunga dude"  a whimsical steampunk piece.  This one took a lot of fine tuning to get the final result, but I hope you agree with me that it was worth it.  I hope to have it available at Steam on Queen on June 22 and other following events, if the printer gods are with me. 

Cowabunga

line drawing finally done in computer, now the colouring begins.  You can see the earlier sketch back further in the blog and see the changes I made. From the rough to line drawing.  I will post the coloured image when complete.

Upcoming Paintings

fish  out of water

Clockwork Bot

Designed by Allen Swerling.

Final sketches of paintings that I hope to have done for Steam on Queen.  Wanted to get them done sooner but life happens.

Gentleman Snail

Here is just a cute little idea.  Hope to do a series of snails with different Victorian hats on. Watercolour and mixed media.  Basically a pencil drawing that has been painted. The paper didn't behave the way I hoped. But still turned out OK. Gave it an aged look. Hope you like it.

Finally, 2 eyed steampunk gentleman

This robot gent looks a little forlorn.  I wonder what he is thinking about.

Newest painting -- will be posting the finished painting with the final frame around him soon. 
Keep watching.

Steampunk Ladies in Black Dress Captioned

Another on in the series of steampunk companions. This is with the writing on it the one below doesn't have writing. Hope you like it.

Steampunk Ladies in Black Dress

One of the newest steampunk pieces. Watercoloured lady scanned and put into the digital frame. More to come. Will be available for sale next week.

Grimoire Boy

The original sketch was done in April, 2011 and previously posted online as a scan from my sketchbook. The original drawing was about 2 by 3 inches in size. It was scanned and cleaned up inside the computer using illustrator 8 and the mouse. Eventually it will be in colour. It is sort of a tribute to H.P. Lovecraft with a steampunk twist.

I plan to make copies and sell them as a limited numbered edition, in a larger size with print on the front stating: "Children should not be allowed to take the grimoire out of the library."

Steampunk Tiki Final

This is the final computer image of the Steampunk Tiki figure. I did it all in the same tone because I am thinking it might make a good t-shirt. Hope it brings a smile to your face.

Steampunk Tiki

While we were sitting in the coffee shop and flipping through my sketchbook, Connie saw some of my stone heads and asked "When are you going to do a Steampunk Tiki?"
So the idea stuck and this was the rough I drew after I quit laughing.

Steampunk air corps.

This is a finished illustration, could be used for t-shirt design or the usual prints.

The Royal Steam Corps. Rules The Skies!

Steampunk airship

This is the template of an airship that I did in the illustrator program based on a one of my drawings from the 1980's. Eyeball perspective in the computer using illustrator. Going to use for painting and other images I am working on. You will see one in the next post.

Rough Gent. with 2 eyes

This robot model has 2 eyes, to be more human like in appearance. Progress moves on at the Swerling Robot Factory. Female companions will soon be available.

Another Gentleman

Another Gentleman in the series. this one is without the words, but is also available with the words, like the previous gentlemen in the series. More to come.

Airships

Did some old airships back in '81, decided to update them and turn them into steampunk paintings.

Steam powered airships will rule the sky!

Steampunk Gentleman Final

First in a series, It will be available at the Pearl Co. and at the Supercrawl. More in the series to come but this is the first completed image. One will be available with type to look like an old advertisement and the other will be the plain image inside the frame. The robot image was watercolour/mixed media and scanned into the computer and the frame is computer generated.

Steampunk robot in colour

This is the first one in a series. Tried a little mixed media and watercolour. I think it worked out pretty good. What do you think? It will be available soon. I will be putting a border around the picture and some words making it look like a period advertisement.

Another Steampunk Robot

Another rough for a steampunk robot series. Still deciding which medium to use. Enjoy.
Hope to have them done soon.

Steampunk Gentleman

A new rough for a potential painting or computer piece. Still trying to decide what medium I want to do him in. I may even do both. I am planning on doing a series. I have sketches for another three robots and more to come.

Steampunk pins

This is my take on steampunk. More images to come. I have designed twelve separate images to be worn as pins. I will be selling these at the Hamilton Art Market formerly Sabawoon on Saturdays at Ferguson and King in Hamilton starting June 25, 11:00 to 4:00 until the end of August. Come on down, I will be there with lots of other artists and craftspersons.
