And have you seen the short trailer Paul made for the Boilerplate book?

The opening is at TFAW’s Hollywood location on June 24 from 7 to 10 pm. There will be free food, beer, and wine. The art show will feature exclusive editions of prints created especially for this event, some never publicly shown, and a rare display of toys and artifacts from Boilerplate: History’s Mechanical Marvel, which was recently optioned by J.J. Abrams (Star Trek, Lost). The exhibit will also include a sneak preview of artwork from Paul and Anina’s upcoming book, Frank Reade: Adventures in the Age of Invention, the chronicle of a family of steampunk inventors. Paul will present the first public showing of an elaborate model of Frank Reade’s electric battle-wagon, the Valiant, which he built for the new book.

Only one word can describe a show that includes paintings from the legendary Eric Joyner: AWESOME!
