We had the good fortune of connecting with Arthur Morgan and we’ve shared our conversation below.

Hi Arthur, what makes you happy? Why?
I love to share my passion for Steampunk and to see in the eyes of the audience joy and fun.

What should our readers know about your business?
I’m the creator of the most important french speaking community around Steampunk. And I wrote a couple of books around that topic. I also discuss the fact that people can fulfill their dream and be “full” as a person through steampunk but also DIY. I’ve contributed to various publications in the US and I act as a “facilitator” between french creators and english-speaking organization.
I write, I share, I read, I travel, I meet people, I speak to crowds and I podcast (planning to work more toward the US in 2022.).
I want to show what steampunk can bring to anybody and that it can be fulfilling to have a Steampunk life.

I’ve learned to keep my mind open and always welcome new ideas.

Let’s say your best friend was visiting the area and you wanted to show them the best time ever. Where would you take them? Give us a little itinerary – say it was a week long trip, where would you eat, drink, visit, hang out, etc.
I love to find unknown stories about places. Stories you discover when you scratch the surface of things. I use to bring my friends to places of witchcraft, weird stories and little known history facts. I think it is a great way to get in touch my the psyche of a city. Did you know the Eiffel Tower was not thought to last long or that someone tried to scam metal sellers into buying it? That’s the kind of things I like and tells my friend on-site. I also love to immerse in atmospheres. So I’ll bring my friends to themed restaurants.

Shoutout is all about shouting out others who you feel deserve additional recognition and exposure. Who would you like to shoutout?
I would love to give a shout out to the excellent steampunk community around the world. There are a lot of people out there sharing a vision of creativity, fun and Do It Yourself with a strong sense of humour and self conciousness for environmental issues. There is a lot of support around the world and also a lot of benevolence.
