Benjamin Franklin with Lightning Gun

Benjamin Franklin with Lightning Gun by Patrick Arrasmith

As we near the launch of our Kickstarter project we thought it was time we showed you one of Patrick Arrasmith's latest works for Steam Patriots.

Depicted here is Benjamin Franklin test firing his newly invented Lightning Gun accompanied by his protege Felix, the protagonist of our new series.  Will this test result in a new weapon for General Washington's arsenal, or will it end in disaster. The lightning rod is getting terribly hot and what is that high-pitched sound coming from the steam generator on Ben's back?

We are so excited to be working with Patrick Arrasmith on this project as we look forward to another 16 pieces of art work - over the course of the next 6 months - for just the first of five installments of Steam Patriots.  Of course that is only going to happen if we make our Kickstarter goal which will be announced in a few days. Stay tuned for more about the wonderful adventures of Felix in Steam Patriots and more glimpses of Patrick's art!
