Mr Addison sent this link today and I found it so funny, clever and skilled, that I just had to post it. The artwork at the Yanobe Kenji Art Works site is mostly deeply inspired by radiation, and surviving it, but some of it looks decidedly Steampunk – from this iron mammoth, to a survival tank shaped like an old submarine, to a childrens train carriage made from black plate and designed to shovel snow. (And a coffin with a decided Tesla-equipment aura to it.) I have to say, while the Steampunk is in the minority at this site, some of the ideas there are downright amusing – my personal favourite being the toy-ball dispenser that gives you survival supplies when you put your coin in and turn the crank (you know, those machines that normally give out little plastic spheres filled with toy figures or bouncy balls). That just tickles me, for some reason.

Thank you for sending this as a link, Mr Addison – it was Steampunk enough indeed. *grins*
