I was asked last November by the inimitable Molly “Porkshanks” Friedrich to shoot the photos for Cherie Priest’s coverage of her steampunk artwork.

Little did I know at the time that Molly’s artwork is actually Molly herself. She’s a fully-automated diesel-powered crafting machine, spouting philosophies and plans, and is constantly decked out in lavish handmade garb and ray guns.

She was a pleasure to work with, and we did the photos for this article in Gasworks Park, Seattle. See some of them here on my Livejournal.

You can check out Molly’s artwork on her Deviant Art site, or in her Etsy store.

You can acquire a copy of this issue of Weird Tales here. I haven’t yet seen the article in question, but I’m very excited about the collaboration between Cherie, Molly, and yours truly.

Many thanks.
