Gear brushes used in my pictures are from several people. Unfortunately, I've lost the credit file of who all of those people are.
However, one has found me!
Ewark made the brushes used in several posts.

Title: Impulse
Description: I’m in a weird mood tonight. This is the same kind of mood that produce Disasters can be Beautiful, though, and people seem to like that one. I’ll just post it an hope I don’t get stoned off the internet. Oh, wait, am I typing or thinking this?

Check out his website: Eric Fretias, clock artist.
Not a wallpaper, but by Tesla’s Coil check out these clocks. They’re amazing, and I want one so badly I can taste the copper in my mouth. It’s probable that I just bit my lip, but it could be that I’m fantisysing about licking one of these beauties.
… I don’t even want to know what that last sentence will do to my targeted Google ads. 0___0

Title: Destroy Bot looks for Love (Widescreen edition)
Description: Widescreen, Dr. Steel edition. The solders over at the ToySolders forum asked if Destroy Bot could be made widescreen. I am a benevolent dictator over here at SteampunkWallpaper.com. I probably won’t do EVERY wallpaper in both aspect ratios, but if there’s one you want particularly, send me a comment, and I’ll see what I can do.

Title: Disasters can be beautiful
Description: Even the failure of the most brutal plan can be beautiful… especially if you’re not the one on fire. Mostly an abstract. I fell in love with the colors while I was trying to do something else with it, and decided to post this version instead.

Title:Letter from Abigail
Description: Dearest Grandfather,
Lyra received your generous gift, and adores it.
We, however, have no idea what it is, and Lyra will not explain it. Also, it seems to have changed the cat into some kind of hidious mechanical contraption. Could you possibly inform us of what exactly you have given your great-granddaughter? We are currently in the basement, hiding from the cat-thing.
Included is a picture of Lyra.
All my love,
Abigail

Check these out, aren’t they Nifty? Benjamin of The Idea Can contacted me to offer up these sweet wallpapers. Unlike me, he gives you a bunch of sizes, including cell phones! AND, as a super sweet bonus, he’s made downloadable moving screensavers of some of them. How f’ing awesome is that?? Thanks, Benjamin!

Title: ‘Gaslamps’ 2
Description: Another ‘lamps on a wall’. I really like doing these, because I have to handpaint the light when it goes out of the original picture’s frame. Am I a geek? yes. EDIT: Ok, ok, I know these are lightbulbs, not flames. I just liked the title. Here, I’ll put quotes around it.
