Weapons Grade Cyber Punk, Gothic Industrial, Rivet Head Accessories and Post Apocalyptic Zombie Protection!
I'm an artist and fabricator that enjoys building interesting things based on and inspired by different types of edged and bladed weapons, technology, science fiction, horror and postapocalyptia. I enjoy creating props and gear from different types of innovative materials and building "industrial" art pieces.
I enjoy industrial music and the growth of the Cyber Goth / Rivet Head culture has been of interest to me since the 80's. I have a fascination with edged weapons, guns, electronics, spikes and all things that are generally considered dangerous. I was asked a while back to build a custom item for a friend attending a party because I was handy with fabrication and had made props and costumes in the past, and that started the ball rolling.
I have now started building a full series of prototypes of Cyber Goth masks to populate a dedicated website (selfinflictedapparel.com) for custom gear. I take a great deal of pride in building high quality "hero" pieces for photography and close scrutiny.
What I'm posting here on DeviantART are prototypes and are the models for making pieces to sell on my website. If you see a piece (or components) that you like, please contact me, as some of the parts I use are recycled or have limited availability and in some cases can not be acquired again.
Thank you for looking at my designs. I love to build custom pieces for people. Feel free to contact me if anything strikes you, or to offer critiques, suggestions and input. Constructive criticism and suggestions are welcomed as I am trying to build on what will be popular for my website.
