Doctor Babinski’s Lycanthropic Remedy Kit

Thursday, November 29th, 2007

Mr Babinski has enjoyed a whirlwind romance with Steampunk recently – being caught up in the wonderful visuals that we’ve come to adore – and being an artist of no small skill it has come to infleunce his work.  Above, you can see Dr. Babinski’s Lycanthropy Remedy, a rather grim looking device for both indicating what [...]

Steampunk Military Kinder-Mech Model

Thursday, November 29th, 2007

Reader Ricco created a wonderful little Steampunk inspired model from the most humble of objects – a Kinder-Egg plastic capsule, and a selection of straws.  While I may have no more information on this very charming and exceptionally well made kitbash, it seems to me to look like it was created in an alternative, late [...]

La Mécanique du Cœur – Novel and Album

Friday, November 23rd, 2007

And novel it is indeed! La Mécanique du Cœur, by the French rock band Dionysos, is both a novel and an album of accompanying songs, telling the tale of a young boy from 19th Century Edinburgh, born with a heart so cold that his witch-midwife replaced it with a clockwork one, so that he [...]

Black Phoenix Alchemy’s Steampunk Scent – Mechanical Phoenix

Wednesday, November 21st, 2007

Ms Desanera has the most terrible addiction to heady, seductive scents such as those sold by the perfumery with a difference; Black Phoenix Alchemy. While many different styles and inspirations conspire to create their range of beautifully described aromas, their limited edition “Mechanical Phoenix” must surely tickle the imagination (if not the nose) of [...]

Mr Datamancer, creator of many beautiful things not least of which are Steampunk keyboards that defy mundanity, has finished what must be his masterwork – the Steampunk Laptop.  From its glass lidded frame, neath which nestle innumerable cogs of shiny brass, to the tiny lions foot corners – every inch of this extensively re-cased laptop [...]

Apologies for my Dissapearance

Tuesday, November 20th, 2007

I feel I must briefly apologise for having dropped off the face of the planet – there were quite a few things going on that needed attending to, and had otherwise overloaded my feeble mind.  Thank you to the people who posted in the comments asking where I was – I’m sorry I hadn’t been [...]

Toy Oscilloscope (and more) by Mr A Smith

Sunday, November 4th, 2007

Apparently, the first cathode ray tube oscilloscope was invented by Karl Ferdinand Braun in 1897 merely as a curiostity of science, and while they went on to become essential tools of frequency and electricity, they still today have a certain wonder about them – those ghostly serpentine sine waves that can so easily fracture, square [...]

Doktor A’s Art Show, Featuring Pac-Gentleman

Sunday, November 4th, 2007

Doktor A has created some beautiful, wonderful, quirky heavily-modified vinyl toys in the past with a lovely cartoony Steampunk feel to them (Mr Wells Time Machine, an Incendiary Automaton, and a Mechanised Admiral) so it should come as no surprise to hear that the good Doktor is having his own show!
Entitled ‘Spit and Polish’ and [...]
