In just a few months time, I'll be heading over the Atlantic, and making my way to the beautiful, and prestigious "City of Dreaming Spires". I was lucky enough to be chosen for a steampunk show that will take place at the Museum of the History of Science, the University of Oxford, U.K. It will run for a marathon four months, until February 21st, 2010, and will showcase some very big names, not just in the steampunk realm, but in the art world period!

It's a great feeling when you've admired someone's work, and are then asked to participate in a show with them. Such is the case with a favorite artist of mine, Kris Kuksi. I excitedly bookmarked his site around a year ago, and when I learned that he would be participating, I became very happy with what I was going to be a part of.

As you can see from the circulating poster (pictured left) there are some very well known and talented artists taking part in this show. Hopefully most of them will be able to attend. It's always interesting to talk with various artist about their ideas, and even more so when you all have a common thread and mutual respect for each other.

I'd also like to add some kind words about the curator of the show, Mr. Art Donovan. When it comes to doing all of the promotion and leg work for a show like this, he's nothing short of a machine. His enthusiasm quickly indicates that he is, in fact, a human being who is very passionate about everything he does. He literally handles EVERYTHING himself. This is a double edged sword. While it doesn't leave any room for someone else to drop the ball, it also means that in these next few months, he's going to be very overloaded with work to ensure everything goes perfectly! Luckily he's done this before, and can handle it! Hats off to you my friend.
