wanted a child of innocence that could easily be mistaken for evil - of course she would live in a church.
I purposefully grew the horns asymmetrical. Also experimented with selective color vs. black and white in the same piece.

whisperstudio is ...
drawing, painting, sculpture, photography, costumes, props, logos, portraits, comics, stories.

The idea being everything that came out of the studio would be presented as "whisperstudio is ..."

And lo,
Lucifer was His favourite
and she was the handsomest of all the angels.
"How art thou fallen from heaven,
O' Lucifer, star of the morning!
For thou has said in thine heart,
I will create steampunk
and keep my pressure gauges in the red
and build way cool power gauntlets
and I will ascend above the heights of the clouds.
I will exalt my aership above the stars of God.
I will be like the most High.

A soft parade
of peoples and thinks
from the darkest corners
of every cursed laboratory,
every haunted manse,
every forbidden journal.
These are what the voices in my head look like.

I am invited to be a part of another anthology ...

STEAMPUNK
A Complete Guide to Victorian Techno-Fetishism
compiled by Vienna Von Schwarz

Scheduled to release August 2012

"Steampunk" explores this fascinating counterculture, transporting the reader
on an eclectic odyssey into a weird and wonderful world of dirigibles,
vaudeville and steam-powered ray guns. It celebrates the lives of steampunk’s
heroes and villains who are as diverse as they are pioneering. Isambard
Kingdom Brunel, Ada Lovelace, Sir Arthur Conan Doyle and Aleister Crowley
sit alongside body snatchers Burke and Hare and fashionistas Lady Gaga and
Alexander Mcqueen, creating a spellbinding mix of science fiction, Victorian
fact and contemporary kookiness.
