Torquearm Creations Steampunk Ball Loot Donation

Soar through the skies and keep your eyes clear with these excellent Esoteric Flyboy Goggles donated by Torquearm Creations!

Newly relocated to Humble in the Houston area, Torquearm Creations nails the basics and expands with his creative goggle and eyepatch designs, jewelry, weapons and arm gear. This is a definite way to punch up your outfit with some serious hardware.

Torquearm Creations are inspired by the future that never came, but a world that can still exist. He is a solo artist who takes great pride in his work and each piece is truly unique. Still a kid at heart, it shows in his creations: interactive art with moveable parts that can be played with and enjoyed, as well as pieces of simple beauty and elegance.

Torquearm has learned many skills over the years, both self taught and through employment in heavy industry, and he enjoys using those skills on a daily basis. His daily interests include motorcycles (riding, building, customizing), bicycles, watch repair and tinkering, and all kinds of art fabrication.

Torquearm Creations' stock changes often so check his Etsy Shop frequently! He also accepts custom orders!
