NEW RELEASE!
Aurora Airship Company Stock certificate
The Nadiria Stock Exchange is born! Ever since I created Antarctica Dream-Dollars and wrote the story of Nadiria, The Lost Colony of Antarctica, I envisioned a Nadiria Stock Exchange. The colony of Nadiria is filled with geniuses, inventors, and tycoons, and it's only natural for them to create companies to allow the colony to fourish. This is the first of many fantasy/steampunk stock certificates that will comprise the much-anticipated Nadiria Stock Exchange! |

The World Conquest project.
Stephen took this image and made 100 lawn signs. On September 11, 2010, he started to plant them all over the NY tri-state area. He continued to plant the signs until the November elections. By subverting the election season tradition of lawn signs, Stephen hoped to raise the alarm over impending war between Iran and its allies and Israel.
Even though the project is over, he will still plant some signs around when the mood strikes him. All new photos will be posted here. |
