Steampunk

The original was drawn in pen and ink on 11×14 inch Bristol Board, I did the coloring with my 4-year old Adesso drawing tablet so as to preserve the pen and ink original.

The Black and White version is the Cover for Gatehouse Gazette #14, my third cover for them.

I am making only 20 of these full-sized giclees. Total size with 1″ border is about 13×16 inches.

They are printed on cotton-weave fine art rag paper in archival pigment inks for the sort of superior clarity and color quality expected from a giclee print.

All giclees are pencil-signed, numbered, and dated, all in tiny handwriting, in the margin.

These are printed on heavyweight professional metallic stock at 8×10 inches

Available for a week at the reduced price introductory of $25 (reg $35).

The second panel, special-made for the inside of a special box/portable frame assemblage art piece I am making.

It was requested that I make prints of this piece – so, I am making 20 of each on fine art rag paper, signed, numbered, and dated tiny in the margin.

They are printed on a fine cotton rag paper, in archival pigment inks for an archival rating of 200+ years.

The print is 8.5×11 inches including the 1 inch border. Printed area is 6.5 inches by 9.

The Assemblage this comes from is a sort of dark carnival and Miskatonic feeling piece, made to feel much like all the occult ephemera of the late 1800s/early 1900s, a time when mysticism was for city-dwellers was becoming quite the fashion – though I often pull from real references when making these sorts of pieces, I do not imply that they have any actual magickal properties or serious reference value. They are more “camp” for fans of the ooky-spooky.

This artwork is three in one.

The box/dual frame: I labored hard for well-over a week on the box, which is a very sturdy hand-built, hand-stained, hand-varnished, hand-waxed chunk of quality hardwood (heartwood select pine base and birch sides). It not only serves as a box (if you would want to use it as such a thing), but as a self-contained double frame fr both of the enclosed artworks (“Red Right Hand” and “Weaving Spiders Come Not Here”) which requires no wall hanging.

The box has two decorative hinges with a decorative patina on the spine edge if it; The latching mechanism is self-made from another smaller version of these hinges, combined with three solid brass model cannons from a model ship. The latch holds the piece securely shut, but opens easily when you want it to with a slight squeeze of the box and an easy flip of the thumb.

There is a *lot* more to say about this piece, and a LOT more images of this work to see.

There are closeups of both paintings, as well as better views of all the workmanship here: Red Hand Assemblage Images and Details

The original was painted on a wood panel cabinet I hand-made for the purpose of doing this painting.

It was lovingly, carefully scanned for truest color and detail, and printed as a giclee for the best, most highly-detailed and most brilliant reproduction quality.

These are printed 12×18 (the original size of the work) on a 16×20 sheet of fine art rag paper (for the optimal standard framing size), in archival pigment inks on 200+ year archival quality paper.

Each is hand-signed and dated by Myke Amend.

These are printed 9×12 (3/4 the original size of the work) on a sheet of metallic photographic paper (think tin-type or antique photography with the *slightly* reflective surface.. not gawdy metallic, but deep brilliant color and added depth), in archival pigment inks on 200+ year archival quality paper.

Printed on fine art rag paper at the exact size of the original pencil drawing – hand-signed, numbered and dated by Myke Amend.

Printed at 11×14 inches on an 18×15 sheet of 200-year archival fine art rag paper in archival pigment inks, each giclee is a long-lasting work of art in its own.

Only 20 prints of the original pencil drawing will be made, ever.

Alice rides a Mock Turtle at high speed along a peppermint lollipop shoreline, followed by the Mad Hatter in his own special-crafted craft.

These images are not made to be exact to the original story, or any movie, but rather to capture and portray the wonder that mythical and magical lands may hold within a child’s imagination.

15×18 inch giclee print (printed area 11×14) on fine art rag from the original pencil sketch by Myke Amend, printed in archival pigment inks to make for a 200+ year archival giclee print.

Each is discretely signed, numbered, and dated by the artist in pencil, within the margin.

This limited edition of 10 was made just because I thought it would be a shame for the image not to be available as a monochromatic print, and for those who really like to collect rarities.

The pencil drawing was done as a commission for friend, Violet Ash in June of 2010, a part of a small set of pencil commissions I offered up to raise gas money to the World Steam Expo.

When Elizabeth turned her eyes to the light, she froze solid and still, like a wild doe caught in the high beams of an oncoming car.

Cloaked figures with ashen faces, bathed in crimson, floated through the surrounding brush, guided by the eerie signals of their human prey. I could barely summon the courage to whisper “I’m sorry”, gazing horrified and heartbroken into Elizabeth’s tear-filled eyes as I silently mouthed my regret, then ran stumbling into the darkness.

“I believe they may be intelligent lifeforms of some sort, at least they show some signs of intelligence. Note the craftmanship, the artful beauty, the symmetry… It is a wonder they put so much care into the packaging of mere food. That it can reach us from the surface in such excellent condition, still fresh and living, is indeed impressive. I look forward to the time when they finally make contact. I am already most certainly impressed by their offerings”

Printed at in archival inks on heavyweight professional metallic stock, coated in a uv-protective and scratch-resistant coating. Archival rating 100+ years.

“The Red Queen” was painted in finger-painting, hand spatters, sponges, fast brush strokes, flung paint, toothbrushes, and most anything else handy, including feathers …but not the chicken.

The original painting is 48 x 24 inches in acrylic on birch

The Sepia Stains Tarot is a complete tarot deck with original artwork for both the major and minor arcana by Bethalynne Bajema (and back of card art by Myke Amend) . The cards are roughly three by five inches in size and printed on lightweight but study card stock with a thin lamination. The deck comes in a hand made drawstring pouch made from embroidered Asian silk material. We’re self publishing this deck so we do our own card trimming and putting the deck together as we get them from the printers. So please allow two to four weeks for delivery of this item. Even though we are self publishing, the decks are beautiful and very professional looking. We’re quite proud of this project :) And as with all Etta Diem items if you’re purchasing the tarot deck as a gift for someone we provide custom gift wrapping for a small additional fee. Simply send us an email or conversation and let us know what type of gift wrapping the deck needs.

Picture for example only. Engravings to be 8×10 on clayboard (archival tempered hardboard, coated in archival white clay, coated in India ink, with the image engraved onto the surface), done in a drypoint/needle technique, in a Dieselpunk style (think Metropolis, The Chrysler Building, etc.)

I will begin these works on May 30th and will complete three per week until they are done. I have a current commission to wrap up, and a convention at the end of may to gear up for, thus the delay – but also the occasion for which I am offering these cheap commissions. I need to raise some hotel money.

I will, if you give me a subject/object you would like an image of, do it in my own style as I think it would look best, and I’ll do a great job of it. I cannot however, do incredibly specific scenes… there is a degree of specification and management where it is no longer art. If you are unsure, just email me or use my contact form – we’ll talk :)

This is the second painting in the strange-fiction steampunk art series “Airships and Tentacles” wherein the works of, concepts of, and influences from Jules Verne and H.P. Lovecraft intermingle.
The original painting was commissioned for Josh Pfeiffer of Vernian Process for the album “Behold the Machine”, and it includes the HMS Gadreel above an icy sea investigating a strange and perhaps long-forgotten and possibly alien craft. Ghostly figures twist and turn within the mists, clouds, icebergs, and waves.

Needless to say, I am beyond eager to see!”

The airship is set against a calm and cloudy sky, and white stone mountains, in the mid ground blow blossoms from the foreground trees, tentacles subtly hidden within the flowers, trees and fog.
There is a touch of sensuality in the pink tentacles, scarlet flowers, and protruding ship mast; The warm colors of this piece make for a light and open feel, and the subtle earthen tones will pull this work together with most any decor scheme.These 50 metallic prints are printed in Epson Ultra Chrome k3 archival inks on high-quality heavy metallic stock, uv-sealed for a longevity of about 200+ years, hand-signed.

Three 5×7 metallic prints, printed on heavy 200-year archival professional metallic stock in archival pigment inks, coated with a uv, moisture, and scratch resistant coating.The Smile series is from a same-named series of miniature paintings from Myke Amend, all 5 inches by 7 inches in acrylic on canvas.Smile series 1, also intended to be kid-friendly, was perhaps a bit on the creepy side with the blood and all – but this series is much brighter and happier, and not so incredibly creepy… though Myke may argue to the contrary because smiles really creep him out.

One of my mini paintings from the ongoing series lowbrow art series “Smile”.
Printed area is roughly 7×10 with a 1 inch border all around, as this thick and beautiful woven 200-year archival fine-art rag paper begs to be shown off.
This is blown up to 1.25 times the size of the original 5×7 painting, but given how small I work and how much detail I put in my pieces, it looks wonderful at this size.
20 of these will be printed – all will be signed and numbered, by the artist, in the margin. I will hand-embellish 3 of these, giving hand-embellished prints in place of the standad giclees, at random. For those selected, buyer has the option of choosing a standard print instead of a hand-embellished print… just in case.
