Osgood Finnegan's Airship by BWS

Here's another upcoming illustration for my web serial "The Lair of the Clockwork Book", at Thrilling Tales of the Downright Unusual ( [link] ).

Osgood Finnegan wouldn't be much of a steampunk era inventor if he didn't have his own airship; happily, as we see, he's got one.

Finnegan's stories-within-a-story take place in an earlier age than I most often find myself in; normally my Retropolis is chock-full of rockets and robots from an entirely different future that never was. Old Osgood, though, was one of the people who built that future, and so here we're getting a glimpse of the world as he and others were reinventing it.
