The Cute Side of Steampunk I:T-Shirt by Mighty Fine

| 20. Mai 2011

Another thing I got via æthermail. The people at Mighty Fine have released a really cute Steampunk-themed t-shirt: http://welovefine.com/shop/Steampunk-Melody-Mens.html http://welovefine.com/shop/Steampunk-Melody.html It’s a bit like Hello Kitty, isn’t it? Really sweet. Also, it is really charming that this t-shirt is not all cogs and airship pirates but rather on the lighthearted, casual side of Steampunk. It [...]

Non-Steampunk Update: This image says it all

| 19. Mai 2011

This just proves once more, that the heads of the Evangelical Movement are phony, selfish scumbags. I am not attacking any faithful Christians out there, just the loudmouths who claim to do good but are ever only good to themselves and everybody else pays: People who looked at this item also looked at… Sexy Steampunk [...]

Austro-Hungarians in Space

| 18. Mai 2011

And now for something completely different: Austro-Hungarians in space. I think this is a complete breath of fresh air. Since most steampunk art revolves around UK/US imagery, it is rare enough to find something Russian or German. Actually, most German stuff you find is labled “Prussian”, but never mind. In any case, an Austro-Hungarian space [...]

And today’s random image is

| 16. Mai 2011

Good thing the Allies had Snow Speeders, since the Wehrmacht had AT-ATs, oh my I guess there is a brilliant Youtube video somewhere in this image: This reminds me: There is a photo somewhere on the ætherweb of a TIE bomber attacking… USS Essex I guess it was (but don’t quote me on that one). [...]

Sexy Steampunk Photoshoot

| 14. Mai 2011

There are far fewer Steampunks here in Germany than there are in North America or in my beloved United Kingdom. However, there are a number of very attractive ladies gracing the scene here. I have already mentioned Ophelia Overdose, the cover model of Carnal Machines. Now I would like to introduce you to yet another [...]

Daguerreotype Cthulhu

| 13. Mai 2011

I’ve had this image in my collection for quite a while now. My speculation is it was Cthulhu’s dreams he sent that kept me from publishing it. Perhaps he is simply not quite comfortable in his new found role as a gentleman of leissure, yet. I guess that’s undertsandable. After being a cosmic horror for [...]

Ghost caught on Camera

| 11. Mai 2011

Just a lucky snapshot I thought I share. This photo was taken with my digital camera, the only thing I did was put a sepia filter over it afterwards. Quite interesting effect, I think: especially considering the camera needs very little time to get an image ready. People who looked at this item also looked [...]

Tribulations of the Waistcoat Wearer

| 10. Mai 2011

Summer is once again almost upon us and this year we have already had quite a hot April in these parts. However, mornings are still quite chilly so I need something to keep the chill of on my way to the station. My preferred method, i.e. Garment of choice, is the waistcoat. I have a [...]
