Tesla coil and art

| 21. März 2010

Hello, I just returned from the Cave Con in Aschaffenburg, where I had (amongst other things) the opportunity to pose with an awesome Steampunk blunderbuss. As soon as Schrecki mails the photos to me, one or to shall be published here. In the meantime, here’s some true steampunk weirdness and a very creative way to [...]

A peculiar image

| 20. März 2010

Another webfind: Quite peculiar, I must say. The image says Steampunk but in a strange way. It also conjours up images of ancient Greece, the Morlocks in the first (and still best) Time Machine Movie and it is also somewhat reminiscent of Star Wars… Hmmm… I shall have a deeper look into the matter.

On this day in 1900

| 16. März 2010

110 years ago, Knossos, one of the most important archaeological digging sites in Europe was purchased by Sir Arthur Evans for excavation. Looking back now, it seems a strange idea to purchase an area of land in order to excavate the treasures of the past hidden therein… But those were different times and as far [...]

Dieselpunk Rocking Horse

| 15. März 2010

My thanks go out to my friend Timo who pointed my baleful eye to the following odd beauty: This is such a marvelously neat idea.
