If anyone reading this is visiting Seoul in the next couple of months\u2014or even living there\u2014then they&#8217;ll find some of my book covers on display at Artcenter IDA. <a href=\"http:\/\/www.artcenterida.com\/?sd=3&amp;sc=3_1\" target=\"_blank\"><em>Steampunk: The Art of Victorian Futurism<\/em><\/a> is a look at the wide range of steampunk aesthetics, from graphic works to three-dimensional constructions, clothing, and so on. I&#8217;d like to credit the promotional design above but I&#8217;m not sure who&#8217;s responsible. Good type design whoever it was.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" alt=\"jeter.jpg\" src=\"https:\/\/www.johncoulthart.com\/feuilleton\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/07\/jeter.jpg\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Five of my covers are on display, including the three I&#8217;ve done for KW Jeter&#8217;s novels. Mr Jeter, as mentioned before, is the man who first coined the term &#8220;steampunk&#8221; in the 1980s. This isn&#8217;t the first time my artwork has appeared in South Korea\u2014when I was painting cards for <em>Magic: The Gathering<\/em> in the 1990s there were Korean editions printed\u2014but it is the first time anything of mine has been exhibited there.
