This Crazy Mind

"This Crazy Mind" is a first-person account of Ed Thayer's life as an artist, from successful auto shop owner and customizer to winner of the 2015 Game Show Network reality competition "Steampunk'd." Through his journals "Steampunk Eddie" reveals the drama on and off screen as the ten best steampunk makers in the nation sought to win $100,000 and title of Best Steampunk Artist in America. Interspersed with TV episodes, Thayer talks about creativity, losing his business and his family, fighting personal demons of anxiety and near-suicidal depression, finding steampunk design, and coming back from the edge through his art.
