Immortal Empress Chinese Steampunk Print by James Ng

From JeffersonTrader

Inspired by the Empress Dowager Ci Xi who ruled over the Qing Dynasty for nearly 50 years. The Immortal Empress, though she is now over a century old and has a head full of grey hair, still looks young and survives by staying permanently attached to the massive life support surging into her golden throne. She becomes part of this floating machine that she is attached to, being almighty and almost haunting.

Immortal Empress was created February 2009 by James Ng using pencil, charcoal, ink, Photoshop, and Corel Painter. The print is on B4 (approximately 10" by 14") coated paper and was printed in Hong Kong under the artist's personal supervision.

James Ng (pronounced Ing) is a fast rising young artist currently residing in Hong Kong. Recently out of art school, James already has so many commissions that he is working around the clock and barely has time to collect the numerous awards his work is earning.

"The Chinese Steampunk series is a personal project where I try to merge Imperial Chinese designs and history with western steam works, the English Industrial Revolution and fantasy."
