Insect Lab

Lepidiota StigmaJay Lake mentioned the Anthology of New Weird, which has a very cool clockwork bug on the cover. That bug is made by Insect Labs, which combines antique clockwork parts and actual bugs to create confections of neo-victorian clockwork. There are also some “higher tech” ones with LEDs. These are very, very cool. Go check out the butterflies, spiders and the rest of Insect Labs’ gallery.

    And in a weird bloggy whipround, the reason the Insect Labs image is on the cover of the antho is in part because I blogged Insect Labs a while back and thus brought it to the attention of the editors of the book, which I am in.

    I plan soon to disappear up my own existence.

    Astounding. I should have known that you were hot for the creations of Insect Labs.

    I’ll have to pick up a copy the anthology, it looks like a good read.

    Great; that helps pay my salary. A good chunk of the authors on the cover are Howard’s clients.
