Ian Duerden: March 2011
http://ianduerden.blogspot.com/2011_03_01_archive.html
Sunday, 27 March 2011. Wooster on ‘A Touch of Brimstone’. Well Bingo says this is the best gentlemen’s club in town but it will have to go a long way to excel the Drones, what Jeeves? Indeed Sir. It is most unfortunate Master Little isn’t here to accompany us. I hope he enjoys a rapid recovery.". Indeed Jeeves. Damn rummy him loosing those fingers. Told me it was an accident with a chopping board.". A most dangerous place the kitchen Sir.". I fear it’s likely to be neither, Sir. That’s Mr...Oh lord, Jeev...

Ian Duerden: January 2012
http://ianduerden.blogspot.com/2012_01_01_archive.html
Tuesday, 31 January 2012. Afterword from "Tales From The Clockwork Empire". It is a noted fact that most inventions however innocent their initial purpose, are soon converted to, and developed for, the killing of one human being by another. Take. Well, the same can be said of the submersible. There are records showing. So you realize I have taken certain liberties with 19. Tsar Alexander, having succeeded to the throne after his father had been accidentally struck with a sword, strangled and trampled to ...

Ian Duerden: December 2013
http://ianduerden.blogspot.com/2013_12_01_archive.html
Thursday, 19 December 2013. Beyond the Clockwork Empire. Before it was compiled into a printed book my Tales from the Clockwork Empire. Was digitally published in episodic form on various comic sites on the Internet. The year was 2008 and at that time I only found the term ‘Clockwork Empire’. Once on an obscure academic site. Now the term ‘Clockwork Empire’. Seems to be generally bandied about on forums, in novels and games. Often it is erroneously used as a term for steampunk. Imagine two brothers of th...

Ian Duerden: February 2012
http://ianduerden.blogspot.com/2012_02_01_archive.html
Friday, 17 February 2012. When I was a child in primary school playing in the sandpit I drew images with my finger in the sand. When they gave me crayons I clenched them in my fist, stuck my tongue between my teeth, and drew images on coloured paper. As I grew up so did the drawing materials. Pencils and brushes, watercolours and gouache, acrylics and oils. The airbrush dominated for a time and then digital tools arrived. So what has that to do with the two illustrations above? I created them both. Well,...

Ian Duerden: June 2011
http://ianduerden.blogspot.com/2011_06_01_archive.html
Monday, 6 June 2011. Wooster on ‘The Master Minds’. Blimey, Jeeves, reckon the old noggin is in need of some education. What brings you to that conclusion? Been watching one of my favourite Avengers episodes, Jeeves. Usual thing, mad lot of derry-do cads up to no good with King’s honourable country. Old Steed and his frilly infiltrate the bounder’s nest. Sounds most exciting, Sir. I understand precisely, Sir. Which is, Sir? Most sporting indeed, Sir. Interesting that you should mention cricket, Sir.

Ian Duerden: Steampunk Goggles...
http://ianduerden.blogspot.com/2015/04/steampunk-goggles.html
Monday, 13 April 2015. OK… in the past I’ve complained about the almost obligatory goggles worn by characters in Steampunk worlds. After all, they didn’t come into use until the automobile expansion of the early 20. But what the hell… When Archibald Tanner flew down in his clockwork bird in the third installment of my Clockwork Furnace what was he wearing? I even made them rose tinted. Top hats off to the members of the Steampunk Chronicle. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom). Tales of the Clockwork Empire.

Sunday, 24 April 2011. Avengers at the Races. Nothing like a good day at the horse races, what Jeeves? Now which of these Avengers fillies is going to win the race, eh Jeeves? I couldn’t possibly say, Sir. Well I rather fancy that Cathy filly, plenty of bite, raring at the bit and rather a fine mane of hair, if you don’t mind me remarking. Don’t you think she is rather short between the hock and fetlocks Sir? I mean, a good length of leg does suggest a longer stride. Fine looking flanks, Sir, but note th...
