Eccentric Genius

With such an ambitiously named website, you would expect nothing short of eccentricity and genius from Kaden Harris. And that's precisely what is delivered, with amazing little brass and wood kinetic art pieces appropriately named "Antiques From A Parallel Universe."

Marvel at a tiny little desktop trebuchet or guillotine. Witness the majesty of my favorite piece, the The Original Model 420 Pneumatifor Infumationizer. (Infumate: verb; act of drying in smoke. Pneumatic: adj.; of or pertaining to air, gases or wind. I'll let you figure out what the 420 stands for.)

Yep. Anyway, this guy always has a little something on his site for sale. Plus he has a book (with some projects on the linked site. I'm gonna make a fog machine).

P.S.: He seems slightly hesitant to call his art Steampunk, not wanting to put a label on his art. However, I already have a Steampunk category, so in it goes.
