I post this trailer, because it’s on YouTube and thus fits nicely in the post, but really – you want to see the one at the official Stardust movie site – it’s much lovelier! And if that’s not quite enough for you, then there’s an alternative trailer at Yahoo. So perfectly amazing looking [...]

On an octagonal pedestal, spewing out incomprehensible babble (well, it may as well be in tongues, to me) and clicking and clacking under a glass dome, a replica stock ticker, such as seen at the Stock Ticker Company just makes me ache to look at such beautiful archaic machinery.  Though the last mechanical stock ticker [...]

 
The ever so kind Mad Salvager – who is fortunate enough to get her hands on a surfeit of beautiful old switches, valves, buttons and knobs, decided to see what a decidedly Steampunk control panel might look like.  The results are glorious and it must be said that anyone who can claim to have [...]

Oh Mr Von Slatt! What a marvelous and quirky pair of contraptions you have created – the above is one of two telegraph sounder replicas that he has designed and made himself. This one is brass, the other is the ‘Airship Edition’ aluminium one for when weight is at a premium. Not [...]

I saw the work of Mr Andrew Smith today on Make:Blog and I was ever so impressed! There’s so much brass and clockwork and chains and cogs – I am perfectly giddy!
While I cannot link directly to any of the pieces, I highly recommend Figurative > Fish and Bolts, Figurative > The Time Keepers, [...]

In a Victorian world, in the Umberland Asylum, a terrible mystery unfolds around two children – one ‘lost’ and the other missing.  Withershins, the comic, follows the unfolding of this tale that follows the viewpoint of the boy as he, with the gentle prodding of the psychiatrist assigned to his care, try to seperate childish [...]

Oh what a handsome fellow this gentleman is!  And you should see his elegant lady-friend too – such a picture in puce with her dainty illuminated parasol.
The pair were created by the eminently talented Freya Horn over at the ConceptArt Forums for a postcard competition, and these very wonderfully fulfil the requirements for a postcard [...]

Just a quick post while I can sneak one in on my lunchbreak – a couple of people have pointed out the above amazing sizzle trailer for The Golden Compass (His Dark Materials Trilogy) film due out this year – it’s looking most interesting indeed! There’s airships and vehicular contraptions, terror, witches, polar bears [...]

Crabfu (Mr Huang) has done it again – above is his Steam Beetle, freshly finished and just oozing amazing Steampunk ingenuity.  Inspired by the Japanese Rhinoceros Beetle, and perhaps subconsiously by the anime Time Bokan (featuring giant, time-travelling all-terrain insect robots, of course), the Steam Beetle is a pretty tough diminutive vehicle!
There’s a video of [...]

I love books – not just the contents, but as against the old saying as it is – I occasionally judge a book by it’s cover.  The above book is by a gentleman called Mr Tim Baker, and he’s a makeup artist and prop maker.  This is apparently just one of a series of 6 [...]
