Coming very soon to Art of Adornment - another Time Traveller's Top Hat. This one is based on a much taller "caroller's" style top-hat. I just finished it tonight and Elaine still has to get a good picture of it for the store before it's officially for sale.

My second steampunk top-hat for Elaine's store. This one is a larger size than the earlier one, the inside circumference is about 24 inches (61cm), equivalent to a USA 7 5/8 or UK 7 1/2. Best fits heads measuring between 23 3/4 inches to 24 1/4 inches (depends how angled you wear it). If that is a bit too big, Elaine sells hat foam that can be inserted to reduce the size up to one inch (three hat sizes).

A photo-manipulation based on this photo. The full resolution version of this is 9,000 x 12,000 pixels ( 30" x 40" @ 300 dpi ) and prints are available through deviantART.

The early stages of the fourth Red Chair painting. This a very poor quality photo so a lot of the nuance of the colours is lost.

A few bits and bobs for my next steampunk project. I'm not saying what it is yet other than it will be a product for Elaine's store, Art of Adornment.

The graphics tablet I bought on eBay arrived today. That last time I had regular access to a graphics tablet for artwork was 1989. I am going to have a lot of fun with this...

It sure would have made my life easier when I was doing the Dark Canada illustrations.
