This is Just Flippin' Cool (Steampunk Sculpture?)

I don't quite know if this completely falls under the category of "steampunk", but I did find it via Pinterest under a steampunk-ish category. Check out this octopus playing chess:


 Steampunk sculpture, maybe? Whatever it is, it's just flat-out cool.

Interesting Vid - This Way to the Egress

After doing some research on the upcoming Steampunk Cruise--which in itself seems to be a cool concept and probably a rollicking time--I came across a video by one of the acts that are going to be performing on the ship. The name of the group is called This Way to the Egress--obviously a P.T. Barnum throwback situation. Check out this video...creepy and yet nostalgic at the same time.

Cool Steampunk Jewelry

I'm always amazed at the creativity that's in this Earth. This guy named Daniel Proulx over at steampunkjewelry.blogspot.com has created some ridiculously cool pieces of steampunk jewelry. One of my favorites is this steampunk spider:

What a cool piece...extremely creative and creepy at the same time. Love it.

Steampunk--The Only Way to Fly?

One of the more inventive interpretations of steampunk fashion I've come across is this shot of a young lady with some "steampunk wings", if you will--check them out:


I nabbed this shot from someone's Pinterest collection, so to give credit to my source here's the link: http://pinterest.com/pin/82964818107245020/

Some Samplings of Steampunk Fashion

I found another cool video on YouTube that highlights some of the cool rayguns, goggles, corsets, and other steampunk-influenced fashion floating around at the World Steam Expo. Also features a song called "Airship Pirates" by Abney Park, for those steampunk audiophiles among us.

Please Don't Just Glue Some Gears On It...

I stumbled upon a YouTube video from a distinguished and moustached gentleman who goes by the name of Reginald Pikedevant. He basically gives an "audio treatise" regarding Steampunk, and the right and wrong uses of Steampunk elements. I have no idea if he speaks from a position of authority or not, but it seems as though he is passionate about it if nothing else. Catchy song, and I do like the look of the vid--lots of old anacrhonistic elements, including a rare appearance of a 33 rpm vinyl record!!!

Check it out here, and comment if you like:
