Scifi.com are showing the pilot for an animated version of the comic The Amazing Screw On Head. Apparently from the same author as Hellboy (and they’re making sure everyone knows that it’s the same author) it seems as if Sci-Fi are testing the waters with this to see if people like it.
Well, I rather [...]

The above picture would be quite happy in a Steampunk story of hard working steam engineers, pumping steam to new and interesting uses. Curiously though, it’s actually from the Con Edison site detailing their history of steam supply to New York city. It goes into pleasant detail about the early days of Con [...]

Once, when I was just tiny and off sick from school, I flicked from channel to channel on the television. Daytime television is a horrible thing at the best of times, but that day is seemed worse than usual – then I found a cartoon… Years later, that half remembered, very long ‘cartoon’ [...]

Courtesy of the wonderful Gutenberg Project, many of the older works of Steampunk authors are available to read for free online. I thought I would start by linking one of the most famous Steampunk stories – The Time Machine. It’s a fairly short read, but one that would be nice to start out [...]

So, The Guardian has an article about an art exhibit of a steam boiler powered Apple Mac computer. Apparently the artist Jeremy Deller, along with his collaborator Alan Kane created it to combine the internet revolution to the industrial revolution. They also describe it as a perfectly impractical way of having a portable [...]

This will probably be old news to many here, but it’s just too good to miss out on. Steampunk Transformers! The Transformers: Evolution series was apparently supposed to start in June, but I’ve heard nothing about it, and we’re well into July now. It saddens me that it’s not out already – [...]

For more photos (of the work in progress of assembling it too), see…

The above is just one of the impressive Steampunk lego creations over at the Flikr pool.
See here for more block-based, steam imagined creations!

Doctor Sprifford and his four young adventuring accomplices pose for their pre-launch daguerreotype. From left: Archibald McTavish, Miss Felicity Ravensberg, Rupert LeBrock, Doctor R. Sprifford, Leonard Witham-Smythe.
So, I managed to find some intreped adventurers for the journey into the great unknown. My local Lego shop helped me out twice – once with [...]

The second DVD I watched from the set, and I’m ready for a trip to a mysterious land beneath the surface of Victorian era soil. The film starts off promisingly – we’ve got a very handsome (and not at all small) drill based digging machine in the background and nicely dressed well wishers are [...]
