You will probably remember the video of the Steampunk mechanical, ridable lion (sic) that I posted about some time ago – well, it transpired that it wasn’t a lion, it was a tiger called Shiva. I apologise, Shiva.

However, via the Spanish blog TauZero, I rediscovered Shiva and its creator – from the Kezanti Art Gallery. While there’s nothing there quite the magnificience of the walking mecha-tiger, there are several humanoid sculptures that are in the same style. The above one I liked the best – a mechanical man with voltage dials on his chest and arms and some kind of porthole/dial for a head. All he needs now is to be steam powered and filled with cogs, and he’d be the poster child for Steampunk. Oh, and apparently Shiva will be getting a new friend soon – I’m looking forward to that!
