Interesting Dive Suits and Submarines, and Various Other Art

A good chum of came across this interesting page of antique dive suits and various submarine designs from different eras. It’s quite a mixed bag, but some of the pictures are downright fascinating.

And while we’re both here, you may be interested in some of these interesting Steampunk works I found on DeviantArt. All of them safe for work, I assure you. I do apologize if these have been posted before. I hope, if such is the case, that you will feel that they are worth seeing twice.

    Greetings!

    I could not see anywhere else to contact you, so I thought I would try via a comment...

    I saw this artist at the Pageant of the Arts in Laguna Beach, California today, and I thought of you. He had never heard of steampunk, but his work fits perfectly. He makes ceramic fish, that are open on the sides to reveal that the fish is really a bunch of gears and other machines. They are pretty nice (and expensive!). Anyway, his web site is:

    Look at the gallery, then at the Time Machines series.

    Enjoy!

  • Great post and I love your blog!
  • Hello, interesting work indeed. I like the one with the giant robot - reminds me of Larry Blamire's Steam Wars, and of course, The Iron Giant. Nice composition too.

    I myself have quite long been attracted to steampunk. Few of my drawings are heavily steampunk-inspired.

    .. and of course my doodling-blog http://muk1.blogspot.com

    This was a desperate attempt to draw attention towards my drawings.. oh well. I enjoyed some of the works displayed here, hope you will enjoy mine.
  • That Submarine Land Dreadnaught surely is something impressive! It's and awesome looking beast!

    I found this site http://www.pembleton.co.uk/PMC.html it's about a kit car that uses aluminum skin and brass/copper cowling. The cars can be powered by motorcycle engines, notably the Moto Guzzi v-twin and BMW flat twins. The designs are for a three wheeler "Pembleton"and the 4 wheeler "Brooklands". The designs are meant to be evocative of vehicles from the '20s.
