Demons by Shawn Cheng shows the transition of a week in the life of a
mechanical artist as he is consumed by his own emotions. Touching, emotional
and yet subtlety steampunkishly drawn.

A clockwork mash-up from the colonies complete with flying
contraptions such as homemade dirigibles and aero planes. See exactly what a
girl can do with herself if the circumstances warrant.
