Deviant artist Ian Finch-Field is a man with talent. The Canadian works incredibly well with wood, brass and leather. Influenced by comic books, Ian often makes fantastic pieces that appeal to art lovers and geeks alike. This example is of a handmade leather and brass steampunk gauntlet. I get Ironman vibes from it.

The datamancer’s impressive steampunk laptop
This laptop is impressive. It’s a machine to be proud of, a work of art and given how long it probably took to build I’m sure it’s part of the family by now. A shoutout not just to Datamancer for having the awesome talent to build this machine but to Tiberius at Geek Tyrant for […]
