steampunk props and retrofuturist art by Datamancer


   This site started off as merely a self-indulgent showcase of stuff I do, but somewhere along the way it seems to have become a popular art gallery and occasionally, a store. My name is Richard R. Nagy. I build wacky stuff and dabble in a little bit of everything. I'm a Jackass of all Trades, so to speak...A Renaissance Man(ic). "Datamancer" is my dorkish, haXor-sexy, 1337 Interweb nickname. Yeah I'm a dweeb....you love it. This site acts as the online portion of my portfolio and displays some of my art, gadgets I've built, essays I've written, various campaigns and shenanigans I've partaken in. Come in, look around, see, read, enjoy. You'll smile, you'll laugh, you'll sigh, you'll cry, it'll change your life...or at least waste a few minutes of it.
I recently moved from New Jersey to California in search of warmer climes and business opportunities. I'm currently entertaining offers for venture capital so if you believe in my work as much as I do, please don't hesitate to contact me

*4/7/08- I've gotten to most of it, but I'm still a little backlogged on email at the moment. I apologize if you've written but haven't heard back from me. Things have been absurdly hectic lately. I'll be in touch soon.
