I stumbled onto this amazing steampunk photo, taken by Jesse Nobles.
I love the steampunk outfits, and the odd camera angle. Very surreal and artistic, isn’t it?

Youtube user NoLoaderWork created this short 3D animation of a steampunk praying mantis.
Heh, I like the tiny gas mask it’s wearing. I wonder if this was for a school project, or just for fun? Either way, it’s very interesting and creative. Well done!
You should definitely check out Virtuoso, an awesome steampunk webcomic set in Africa. The story is created and written by Jon Munger, and drawn by artist Krista Brennan.
Virtuoso was first released in March, 2010, and to date there are over 20 issues. This is a very original idea and a great story!
Virtuoso is an alternate history of an Africa that never existed, one run by steel and springs, commanded by vast matriarchies and past the height of its culture.
Virtuoso is the story of Jnembi Osse, a professional weapons manufacturer for the most powerful empire in the world, and how her private rebellion becomes a full scale international incident.

Wow, this is so strange! Lisa Black is an artist in New Zealand who specializes in steampunk taxidermy. As if taxidermy wasn’t creepy enough, but she takes it to the next level by adding steampunk gears and movable hinges to dead animals.
I’m not even sure… is this really steampunk? In any case, it’s very original artwork!

Disney’s going steampunk! Check out their Mechanical Kingdom, featuring pins of Disney Characters drawn in steampunk style.
This collection contains five limited edition pins that will be sold individually. There is also a journal written by Professor Ludwig Von Drake that introduces the Mechanical Kingdom story. The journal literally looks like a book complete with a cover and several pages. The final page contains all five individual pins and two “completer pins” — Mickey Mouse and Pirate Pete.
The steampunk pin set will be released in April, 2010.

Merry Christmas to my steampunk friends!
Here’s a fun Second Life video to celebrate this joyous day, made by Lokiboy.

Here’s an amazing look into a custom steampunk house owned by Bruce Rosenbaum, who specializes in Victorian style restorations.
I can’t get over how cool this is! He has steampunk gadgets and furniture throughout his home, including copper dog bowls and water filtration system, a steampunk entertainment system, telephone, thermometer, and numerous pieces of clever artwork. I can’t help but thinkg that this house would be a great place to film a movie.

Happy Thanksgiving!
I wanted to find something steampunk for Turkey Day, and came across this awesome steampunk turkey watch on Etsy.
Truly amazing detail, and a very creative idea! Not bad at all for only $30.00.
This lucky turkey lived through the Holidays and is now looking for a new home! See how proudly he struts? This guy is made entirely out of parts from pocket and wrist watches. Gears, sprockets, wheels and other inner workings are meticulously pieced together to create this one of a kind sculpture. A true conversation piece!
Mounted in a 5 X 7 shadow box and ready to display. Sculpture measures 2 inches.
