A Chance to Help

Would you like to get your hands on some great dieselpunk art and help a great cause at the same time? Here’s your chance. A GoFundMe campaign has been established to help raise needed funding for the Second Annual North Texas Vintage Life Expo, which will take place January 10, 2015 at the Manske Library in Farmers Branch. The hosts of the Expo, the North Texas Dieselpunks, need help in providing advertisement funds, ink for posters, tablecloths, and any snacks.

At the $25 level, you would receive one print; at the $50 two prints; and at the $100 level all four. If even $25 is too much one can contribute either $10 or $5 and while you won’t receive a print you will have the benefit of knowing that you helped advance the cause of dieselpunk.

70th Anniversary of D-Day

On June 6, 2014, world leaders converged on the beaches of Normandy to remember the men who fought and died there 70 years ago during the greatest sea invasion in history.

A grateful world must never forget the sacrifices of those men who landed on the shores in 1944. They didn’t fight to oppress but to free. They didn’t fight for wealth but to secure a world free from tyranny.

It’s events like D-Day, a battle of mythical proportions, which inspires dieselpunks like me. During the 70th anniversary ceremony, President Obama summed up my feelings best:

“Whenever the world makes you cynical, stop and think of these men. Whenever you lose hope, stop and think of these men.”
