Way Back in the late 90s I was working on the “War of the Whiskers” poster with my dearly departed friend Max Lafontaine. I made this rocket mouse launch silo for him and it’s still in his families collection. #jeffdeboer #mousearmour #miniatureart #kinetikart #steampunkart

Yesterday I did my last production photo of all the parts for the Fat Henry VIII mice as a chaotic scene. I think this might be an image of the ideas inside my brain and much as an anything. #jeffdeboer #mousearmour #miniatureart #smallsculpture #metalarts

Back in 2022, I did a series of customizable samurai mice that my collectors could choose from a curated selection of designs, metals and lace colours to create a fully original mouse. #samuraiarmour #mousearmour #jeffdeboer #miniatureartist #miniaturesculpture

I published this book, “Articulation” in 1994 with an introduction by William Gibson as the catalog for my traveling exhibition of the same title. I looked it up today and see that it’s become a rare collectable book! It’s all a very strange thing in deed. #jeffdeboer #artbooks #exhibitioncatalogue
