Art is everything and anything in the world. Since I was a child I loved colors and textures of art. As I grew older I loved the sounds of art. I would paint or create.

It is best summed up in the following statement I found about it.

The ideas behind the steampunk sci-fi subgenre have been around since Jules Verne and H.G. Wells, but it was given its moniker in the late ’80s as a speculative-fiction genre, alongside cyberpunk, ribofunk and splatterpunk.

I am waiting for the paint to dry on my new painting. It’s a little different than most of my paintings, since it incorporates assemblage. But while it’s drying over the next few days, I will be working to try to either come up with a name or decide on whether I want to leave it untitled.
See how many things you can recognize in the painting with the close-ups below.
