Jared Axelrod is an author, an illustrator, a graphic designer, a sculptor, a costume designer, a podcaster and quite a few other things that he's lost track of but will no doubt remember when the situation calls for it.
He is a founding member of the daily flash-fiction website 365 TOMORROWS, and the writer and producer of two science-fiction podcasts, “The Voice Of Free Planet X” and the serial “Aliens You Will Meet.
He is not domestic, he is a luxury, and in that sense, necessary.

The Very Model Of Modern Victorians
March 11th, 2009
I spent yesterday morning with Kyle Cassidy and the lovely and talented Miss Liza James, shooting what will be lobby poster for the University of Pennsylvania’s “Performing Science” conference. One of the themes is “Modern Victorians,” so Kyle sent out the call for those with both style and costumery to spare. Liza and I were chosen among the multitudes, no doubt equally for our adventurous nature as our impeccable wardrobes.
The results clearly show Kyle’s faith in us was not misplaced:
Many thanks must go to the Franklin Institute, for letting us climb all over their nearly a century-old steam engine.
Such is the sense of humor of the universe that not long after I write a post about the nature of steampunk, I find myself advertising the Edisonade in the flesh. Clearly I should write something about how multi-book deals dilute the medium, and the last thing anyone should be given is huge amounts of free cash.
That said, I do make contextless, fashion-conscious steampunk look remarkably attractive. Kyle clearly knows how to bring the pulp fantastic.
