Steampunk Gas Masks & Helmets So Exquisite, They'll Leave You Breathless.

It's hard to believe that Tom Banwell has no formal art training and is largely self taught when you look at his expertly crafted collection of leather and metal Steampunk Gas Masks & Helmets. The masks and helmets are an impressive display of workmanship, complete with mechanical parts, fully wearable and entirely original.

Having dabbled in a variety of media over the years, including batik, woodcarving, mixed media art dolls and leatherworking, creating art in the steampunk genre suits Tom exceedingly well because it combines several of his interests; history, costuming, mechanics and fantasy.
