Doktor A for 'Oddfellows' @ Stranger Factory

My particular love for the works of Doktor A, is "legendary" (but perhaps within my own mind) ... although I sometimes wonder how he is able to achieve what he has been able to? Not just the matter of skill and craft, but of the imagination in creation, not merely a "homage" existing licensed-characters, but of a continued invention and adding to the population of Mechtorians. These are not half-assed slap-on pieces and paints, but refined and completed instruments of toy-joy, aren't they?



I do not think all the work we've seen thus far are the be-alls and end-alls of his imagination. I sincerely believe he is just "tinkering" with them, teasing us and taunting us, of that day, when the world reverts and evolves into the realm of "steampunk", that would be the time he will truly cut-loose his wrath!

And if you think I wax lyrical and guild the lily to the max here, it is simply because I love Doktor A's work, and that should be enough explanation and resolution to your queries.

The image directly below is titled "Oddfellows" and is the collaboration of both Chet Zar + Doktor A, and is priced at US$12000 (Size: 21” x 13”). What did I saw about his level of craft?
