Pictures from the April 23rd Aetherfest Countdown Hosted by The Mysterium in Austin, TX

I did not get to run around and take lots of pictures this time of all the tables. We had a lot of people there this weekend including John Dunn, The Clocketbook Maker, Parkers & Quinn, The Brass Apple, Winged Cat Studio, A Grimm Design, Cracked Monocle, and Caveat Emptor! (I hope I did not miss anyone... every where I looked there was a new table in the hall!) Many thanks to everyone that brought all the awesome munchies and delicious punch!

Rumor is, this might become a monthly event. Go show your support at The Mysterium and let them know you want more steampunk artist events! Details to come as I get them!

Congrats to the winner of the drawing!

A Grimm Design Returns!

Brass Apple hard at work!

Brass Apple is a new group
specializing in Asian themed Steampunk.
Keep an eye out for them!

Winged Cat Studio was out in all their glory!

Not only does she sell pieces, she can do custom mods too!

... those are bullet shells... made into flowers...
\o.o/ MASSIVE DO WANT!

Does he have a name?

Goggles guaranteed to be unique!

I really want to see an outfit based around those goggles...

Winged Cat Studios @ Anime Matsuri!

Steampunk outfit feeling a little too fresh? Too pristine?

(Your mechanic's outfit's lacking strategic smudges?)

You must stop by Winged Cat Studios at Anime Matsuri this weekend!

In addition to awesome goggle skills, this genius of grunge works her magic on all projects.

She's great to talk shop with too!

I am hyped up about Anime Matsuri this weekend 

and the Artist Alley is sounding like a great selection!

 \o.o\ Looking forward to a shot of my bag-o-loot after the con! /o.o/

Anime Overload Loot

Goodies from Anime Overload. =^.^=

This is just a shot of all the goodies. =)
The Deadpool badge is from herms85.deviantart.com
I'm a huge Deadpool fan...

I grabbed this hat from Georgia Thomas of "Puddles the Pirate Kitty."
She is an Austin Local artist and takes custom order at kittaba@yahoo.com

Unfortunately it seems I didn't grab a business card for the artists that made him.
I shall have to hunt!

Snagged this from Rhapsodical Wares (listed Rhapsodical Hats on the Local Artist tab.)
Find more items on their Etsy shop at rhapsodicalhats.etsy.com!

I'm in love with this from Rhapsodical Wares (listed Rhapsodical Hats on the Local Artist tab.)
Find more items on their Etsy shop at rhapsodicalhats.etsy.com! So Tiny! So Cute!

This is another item from Georgia Thomas of "Puddles the Pirate Kitty."
She had quite a few and sold all of them tonight.

This is from ClockWork Threads. (http://www.clockworkthreads.com/)

I really love the design on this! I can't wait to see more of her work.

She handles a lot of custom item work from her website.

Have a picture in mind? Talk to her! She'll make it work!

So overall the con was rather small and the panels were a bit hard to hear but I really think it makes for a good one day con. Everything was packed into one room (performance stage, dealers, artists and panels with cloth dividers in the back of the room.) They also had two food vendors there which was kind of nice. (Yummy Sno-cones!) I mainly just went to go check out the artists.

Other artists that were there include Winged Cat Studios (lucubro-insomnis.deviantart.com), A Key Within: Geek Chic (http://www.akeywithin.etsy.com/), Airship Isabella (Airshipisabella.com) and Bleak World Productions (http://www.metaphoricsurrealist.com/.)
