WHAT'S NEW

"The Mechtorian Stereoscopic Society" Introducing an adventurous new print set from Doktor A.

As always Doktor A announces something new for DCon 2016, and this time he has created something quite enchanting and a must have for any aficionado of his Mechtorian creations. With his usual sense of wonder and whimsy which you can see in all of his work, Doktor A brings us a totally unique take on his work and takes our imagination straight back to an earlier simpler time where imagination is encouraged and entertained.

The Mechtorian Stereoscopic Society
A collection of ten cards showing stereoscopic images of "life" on Mechtoria.
For the first time viewers anywhere can witness the magical sense of being in the presence of the retrobotic denizens of Retropolis. This new print set shows off the delightful sculptural characters in a totally new way. Showcasing the physicality of the pieces and placing them in real world environments. The stereoscopic (Three Dimensional) nature of the images pulls the viewer into the surreal world of the Mechtorians unlike any depictions seen before. Short of an actual trip to their far-off world, this is the best way yet to experience their wonder.

The Mechtorian Stereoscopic Society was established in the early years of habitation on Mechtoria by Tiberius Shutterbug. The idea of the society was to capture images of the flourishing new world in the most realistic way possible. To this end Tiberius constructed photographic equipment able to capture images in three dimensions to best convey the wonder of their new surroundings and the many retrobotic characters which inhabited it.

The image cards are formatted to fit the popular "OWL" viewer, produced by the London Stereoscopic Company and designed by Brian May (Queen Guitarist and lifelong fan of stereoscopic photography). They can also be viewed in most classic card viewers, with hand-held viewers and with the "free viewing" method.
Card size 178mm X 94mm (7" X 3.75" approx).
The set has images of : Tiberius Shutterbug, Mr. Hammer and Mr. Smith, Tod Amblesson Wetherspoon's Day Spa, The Abandoned Woman, Carter P. Horace Mooch - Moustache Maker, Arbuthnot Wince - The Poisoner, Marcus Warren Entwhistle, and Ronald "Buzzby" Flashman
The set is available in two versions :

Standard ($25): The full set of ten image cards suitable for viewing on most classic stereoscopic card viewers, contained in a re-sealable, hand embellished envelope with an information sheet describing the characters depicted.

Deluxe ($35): The full set of ten image cards suitable for viewing on most classic stereoscopic card viewers, contained in a re-sealable, hand embellished envelope with an information sheet describing the characters depicted. Plus the "OWL" stereoscopic viewer from the London Stereoscopic Company. This unique, adjustable, focusing viewer is crafted in sturdy, high quality injection moulded plastic and folds flat for storage and travel in a convenient  folder.

The set, which will be launching at Designer con, will also be available from Doktor A.'s online store... and what an amazing set/series to own! If you are attending the convention, be sure to swing by Dok's booth #114 to see these in person, and prepare to have your mind blown!
