Where gears meet skin -- industrial designs, mechanical marvels, and steampunk aesthetics that tell stories of innovation and imagination.
I'm Rex, and I live where the industrial meets the fantastical. My work draws from Chicago's rich manufacturing history and the endless possibilities of steampunk imagination. I specialize in mechanical designs, intricate gearwork, and industrial aesthetics that blend the real with the surreal.
From detailed engine parts to fantastical airships, every piece is a celebration of human ingenuity and artistic vision.
