The title for this piece is "Puss in Steampunk Boots" (aw!) and the artist, Matthew S. Armstrong (also known as 'Matthewart' on deviantArt), wrote a cute caption too:
The classic tale with clockwork ogres and airships. (not pictured) ^_^I'd definitely pick up that story book! (Hint, hint.)
Matthew S. Armstrong has a very busy career, involved with a wide range of art and subjects in comics, games, picture books and particularly some recent Narnia books (see his Harper Collins Illustrator page HERE). You can see his official site with gallery of different samples HERE. (Be sure to click the 'comics' tab - adorable little stories!)
Matthew's gallery (on deviantArt) concentrates more on the whimsical with picture-book based illustrations (there is some overlap with the website). You can browse and appreciate it HERE and there's a Cheshire Cat too if you love Alice in all her variations.
cute :)
ReplyDeleteI agree, there are many fairy tale images that could be re-imagined in a steampunk world. Hmmm, gets me thinking...I love the idea, and yes, Puss In Boots is perfect!

ReplyDeleteHis work on Santa Claus is also great - ok, I'm prejudiced - I wrote the story - "The Blacksmith's Gift"....
