The Incomparable Doktor A

There are certain things we can count on day in day out. 

For instance, if you ask vinyl collectors to name the top five customizers in the game, Doktor A will be on every list.
Through his numerous customs, Dok A has unfolded his alternate victorian-era mechanized universe.  We've seen armored suits, motorized air ships, and submersibles. Lately we're beginning to learn more about the commercial and entertainment aspects of this world. 

You’re looking at "Blavatski & Son's Automated Kismet Disseminator", a perfectly tuned prognosticating device which will be exhibited to wow the public at the MADL Citizens show opening on October 25th @ LIFT in the Detroit area.

This sweet fortune teller piece sucks us into his universe abuzz with wondrous machinery. The inclusion and execution of cleverly thought out details from the realistic levers and handles to the detailed printed instructions on the top of the device up the awe factor and increase believability. Beyond all of that though, the piece is FUN to look at and dream about. Finally, the cherry on top here is that Dok clearly loves his work and it shows in numerous ways including the humorous set of printed fortunes, including the sassy "You will purchase art from an English Man". Amazing work.
