| 4. Februar 2012

Another one of these things I found on the web. Its path has been so winded, I could not find the artist who created it.

Sesja fotograficzna WINTER STEAM – WINTER STEAM photo session

| 23. Januar 2012

Witajcie moi przyjaciele z Polski, tutaj jest sesja zdjeciowa na która moglibyscie sie udaς! And since my mastery of the Polish language has not improved much, I continue in English My friend Ana, she guest-posted here earlier,  is organising a photoshoot.

The Fantasy World Map

| 22. Januar 2012

I discovered this really interesting map recently while scouting the ætherweb for curiosities worthy of blogging about. What I find most interesting is obviously the entry at the bottom of the map: Dreamlands Now, I wonder if this is just for the places we all go to at night when we dream, or wether it [...]

Mythos Hymn

| 21. Januar 2012

I am a fan of Neil Young. I own several albums and Keep on Rocking in the Free World and Hey hey, my my are two of my all-time favourites. I also noticed recently Hey hey, my my can be turned into a Cthulhu Mythos hymn quite easily: Hey hey, my my Great Old Ones [...]

Big Bad Locomotive

| 16. Januar 2012

Normally it pains me to see old, venerable steam-powered train engines stand somewhere, left to rot in disrepair. Yet, there is still some beauty that can even be distilled from them. The following image is ample testimony: The photographer responsible for this very powerful image is Beezqp, from Poland. The train engine is standing somewhere [...]

Modern Traditionalism

| 9. Januar 2012

Are you confused by the title of today’s blog? Believe me, I am, too.  Anyway, a dear friend of mine brought my attention to this wonderful piece of modern Japanese music: The Yoshida Brothers have managed to bring traditional Tsugaru-janinsen music into the 21st century and created very impressive pieces of music along the way. [...]

Steampowered Dieselpunk Aircraft

| 2. Januar 2012

Another wonderful piece of tech art I found on DeviantArt. The concept behind it is rather weird, but we can still dream, can’t we? So, to sum up what this is about: This is an experimental German aircraft (from a completely different time line) powered by a steam turbine.  I actually wonder if it would [...]

Vintage X-Wing Fighter

Now this is a machine to take out the Death Star in style and enjoy a cup of tea afterwards. People who looked at this item also looked at… Steampowered Dieselpunk Aircraft New Steampunk Home Review: Carnal Machines – Steampunk Erotica Review: Escape the Clouds – Circumnavigator Prof. Minuskel’s Timetravel Panopticum: Recap 2 – Nakari [...]

Tintin in Pnakotus

| 15. Dezember 2011

Picking up on an earlier post, here is some more art by Muzski, mangling the works of Hergé and Lovecraft in some trans-dimensional, non-euclidean way and producing something hardly imaginable: I guess this scenario would actually make a fun scenario. The Yithians are not evil, they are just scientists. With a little bit of tweaking [...]

Prof. Minuskel’s Timetravel Panopticum: Recap 2 – Nakari

| 14. Dezember 2011

Last time I wrote aboutProfessor Minuskels Timetravel Panopticum I left the best and most spectacular bit out. Later in the evening, we were honored by a performance of Nakari, a Vienna based Tribal Bellydance Duo: Let’s begin with two photographs I took (please excuse the modest quality): But this, of course, is not all. I [...]
