Babycakes Book Recommendation

It's been a while since I've done a book recommendation and this post is a little different because I'm suggesting a book that hasn't even been released yet. How can I do that, you might ask? Because it's been written by previously featured artist, Dr. Grymm and his better half, Mrs. Grymm!

1,000 Steampunk Creations: Neo-Victorian Fashion, Gear, and Art (1000 Series)

You can pre-order this book through the Amazon link above. Pre-order price is guaranteed and this book is available for FREE Super Saving Shipping. 

"Steampunk is a burgeoning counter-cultural movement; a genre, community, and art form. The Steampunk movement seeks to recapture the spirit of invention, adventure, and craftsmanship reminiscent of early-nineteenth century industrialization, in part, to restore a sense of wonder to a technology-jaded world.

Packed with 1,000 color photographs, 1,000 Steampunk Creations features a showcase of stunning jewelry, fashion, accessories, headgear, artwork, home decorations, and curious contraptions."

Looking for more information about Dr. Grymm? Dr. Grymm's alter ego, Joey Marsocci, proprietor of Dr. Grymm Laboratories, has been a freelance designer of theme park attractions, toys, puppets, graphic marketing, film props, and private consignments for over 18 years. His custom contraptions and sculptures have been seen in Steampunk exhibits and publications around the world, including the Steampunk Exhibit held at the Oxford University History of Science Museum in 2010 and The Cosmopolitan Hotel of Las Vegas, NV. He also hosts an annual Steampunk art show, Steampunk Bizarre, which takes place in Hartford, CT and is the feature artist of the 2010 documentary entitled I Am Steampunk.
