He is also a special effects make-up artist, model maker, graphic artist,  and photographer.

These steampunk books are four in a set of six for a graphic novel  he is creating. Each book took between 40 – 150 hours to produce and are made of leather, brass, stainless steel, aluminum, river pearls, rivets, hand made paper and parchment, among other things.
