Stone Laboratories is an artistic side project by Goth Rock musician, Ian Stone (À Rebours). Embracing an unlikely pastiche of Steampunk, Dieselpunk, Outsider art and the dark, timeworn richness of Primitve Folk Art, the result is a strange, retro-futurist vision rooted in the combined aesthetics of sci-fi, classic horror, and ragdoll rusticity. Imagine the Victorian sci-fi of H.G. Wells and Jules Verne, wrapped in the velvet webs of E.A. Poe, combined with the creeping rural horrors of H.P. Lovecraft and Algernon Blackwood, and then made into a movie by Fritz Lang and Tim Burton. A bit of an exaggeration, perhaps, but you get the idea. Stone Laboratories uses this eclectic mix to create both 2D art and 3D accoutrements out of a tangled process of found object assemblage, paint, collage techniques, digital manipulation, kitbashing and creative insanity ingenuity.

Stone Laboratories purveys most pieces through eBay, local shoppes in the upstate NY area, and via Commissioned jobs. Selected direct sales appear from time to time as well.
