A word from the Professor
Several hats. One orangutan. A great deal of tea.
He also has several hats, a punishing addiction to strong tea and a baby orangutan called Geoffrey.
He hopes that each entrant has as much fun as possible in creating their own Steampunk creations, and is very grateful for the opportunity to see whatever they come up with.
Which is, when you think about it, the entire point of the thing. Make something. Enjoy making it. Send it in.
