Klint Finley from Technoccult interviewed Alex CF about his steampunk science pieces.

An excerpt from the interview:

T: So you fill all the pages of books, scrolls, etc.? None of that is found material, and there are no blank pages?

A: There are never any blank pages. I try to fabricate an entire world, from the person who wrote the book and their descent into madness, or their ascent into the higher planes of knowledge. Each ledger or text book or diary is full of illustrations, photographs and mad ramblings. Sometimes 50 pages or more of make believe adventure of scientific discovery. I base some of it on actual science, but I elaborate on the make believe. It’s something I take a lot of time and care in creating. With a legion of copycats biting at my toes, I have to keep pushing myself to create new and unique projects that my customers can buy into, both physically and mentally. It’s creating that realism that makes my work… work! I guess the only thing that is sad about it is that only a few people ever get to read those notes and see those illustrations.
