Just home from a lovely weekend at Wicked Faire.

We’d like to thank both Mr. Jeff Mach and A Count Named Slick-Brass for having us.

It was a busy weekend for us (and the rest of the Steam-Funk Studios Gang) and we’re pretty glad to be home.

We’ll be taking some time to decompress and put together some stuff for our “real-world” jobs, but we’ll soon be featuring some great art (and pretty girls) that we got to see at Wicked.

The wonderful folks from Pinups for Pitbulls were there too. They’re always a delight. If you’ve never heard of them or seen their wonderful stuff, you can check out their website here.

Check out the gorgeous cover art for Issue 2 of American Dark Age. Jacqueline Taylor never fails to give you your thousand words worth.

And here’s your chance to help that art (and a bad-ass heroine) keep coming into our world.

You can learn more over at their kickstarter (which includes a link to read issue #1!)

This series was shot in 1944 by Howard Hollem (for the Office of War Information, and thus these images fall under the Public Domain) on assignment at the Heil Manufacturing Company. Our favorite is Helen Ryan for still strutting in her heels….

We were there with A Count Named Slick-Brass from Steam-Funk Productions. We had a lovely time and almost choked to death when we saw the counter on the page is down to 16 days!! So, while we won’t break our promise and will still start showing you pretty pictures of pretty girls on September 1st, our rollout will be slower than anticipated (for now!!)

We’re home from the Steampunk World’s Fair. We had a great time with A Count Named Slick-Brass and the crew of the A. S. S. Titilus.

Just a little over 3 months until the site goes completely live. We’re plugging away!!
