The workshops of Iron Horse Studios lay abandoned and decrepit. The trains are still, their boilers silent, tanks empty, and their fireboxes cold. One could imagine the thriving enterprise this place once was, but all that now remains are some ruinous buildings, rusty engines, and broken rails.

But the business hasn't entirely died. The original IHS tried becoming an all-encompassing creative outlet, which grew very overwhelming to maintain. While the enormous studio crumbles to dust, the new, smaller studios by the sea still operate on a much more specific topic: the navy. Here the tales of great ships, their travels, tragedies and triumphs, come to life.

Iron Horse Creations will never be what it once tried to become, but thankfully it has started anew as a much smaller and more manageable enterprise.

I'm still struggling to find a place where I fit in the art world, since I had a recent falling-out with a group from the humanized ship community. Things did not end well for me, and the less said about it the better. I'll stay with that community because of my interest in naval history.

I'm also working to improve my craft, so keep an eye out for new pieces and stories!

If you have any helpful feedback, please comment on the deviation and keep your message respectful.

Bear in mind as well that I am not an artist for monetary profit. While I love the attention that comes with putting myself out there, I'm posting my art purely because I enjoy creating as a hobby.

Thanks for stopping by! As always, I'll see you on the other side!
