The Artist
Stephan J. Smith "Zeppelin Man"
I am a 1983 honors graduate of Ferris State University (Ferris State College, then!), where I majored in Graphic Design. I then worked in ad agencies and design firms for many years, doing all things graphic, which then morphed into design using computers (and all THAT entails!). However, as time went on, my interest shifted to more dimensional art in various forms. I currently focus on paper, including cut paper sculpture and handcast paper, but with an emphasis on mache. I also have a special love for recycling materials that would have otherwise gone into the trash. Many of my papier mache projects wind up using pieces and parts of plastic, metal or wood that came from packaging, manufacturing or scrap.

Really inspired by your steampunk zeppelin model and especially using re-purposed materials. I am making good progress creating my own model and I would like to share with you a couple of photos of how it looks to see what you think. I found a great parrot cage stand on e-bay for only $23.00 and it really works well to display the model. My significant other has really got into steampunk jewelry and we are planning a booth at a arts market. Send me a message so I can return an email with my photos. Mehl
