About this project
How do ya get a steam-electric hybrid motorcycle across country? With your help! (and a very strong box!)
The Charles River Museum of Art and Innovation's new exhibit: "Steampunk, Form and Function" is hosting a design competition and my bike, the Whirlygig Emoto, needs help getting there!
She'll need a custom crate and rush shipping in order to make it to Massachusettes by October 22nd, the opening of the exhibit! The money will help pay for the crate and the shipping to and from the Museum. Any additional money over the pledge amount will allow me to buy a plane ticket and be there too!
Here's more info on the Museum: http://www.crmi.org/ and on the steampunk competition: http://www.steampuffin.com/
The Whirlygig Emoto is a fully custom-built electric motorcycle with a functioning steam-boiler on the back! Fabricated in 2007 as an offshoot of the fantastic Steampunk Treehouse http://www.steamtreehouse.com/

Project By
Connected as Tom Sepe (1875 friends)
I'm a multi-disciplinary artist. Actually an ODD-ist, cause I do ODD things to make a living, sometimes its ART! I've built numerous art vehicles (or helped repair them) and have worked on dozens of large-scale metal sculptures that have been installed at Coachella, Burning Man, various private and public events around the U.S.
I've been acting, dancing and performing on stage, in clubs and at festivals for almost my entire life, and when that gets boring I work as a professional catering chef. Wait... I think I got that backwards.
I'm an amateur documentary film-maker and quasi-professional editor. Oh and I made a really cool steampunk bike once called: The Whirlygig Emoto.
