People are fascinated by artist’s sketchbooks. They offer a glimpseinto private pages where artists brainstorm, doodle, develop andwork on ideas, and keep track of their musings. Artists use thesejournals to document their daily lives, produce their initial ideas for

bigger projects, and practice their skills. Using a variety of media from paint to pencil to collage, these pages can become works of art themselves. They often feel fresh and alive because they are first thoughts and often not reworked. These pages capture the artist’s personalities along with glimpses of their process of working and inspirations.

Packed with 1,000 color photographs, 1,000 Steampunk Creations features a showcase of stunning jewelry, fashion, accessories, headgear, artwork, home decorations, and curious contraptions.
