New York Times Covers Steampunk Culture

SteamPunkThe New York Times has published a pretty swank article about SteamPunk and its fashion, art and music. An excerpt from the article:

Quaint to some eyes, or outright bizarre, steampunk fashion is compelling all the same. It is that rarity, a phenomenon with the potential to capture a wider audience, offering a genteel and disciplined alternative to both the slack look of hip-hop and the menacing spirit of goth.

The elaborate mourning dresses, waistcoats, hacking jackets and high-button shoes are goth’s stepchildren, for sure, but the overall look is “not so much eyeliner and fishnets,” said Evelyn Kriete, who sells advertising space for magazines like Steampunk, The Willows and Weird Tales, and who manages Jaborwhalky Productions (jaborwhalky.com), a steampunk Web site.

Good to see the efforts of some friends being recognized.

Joshua Hoffine Will Give You The Creeps

Joshua HoffineTo your left is just a snippet of the the creepy-ass photography of Joshua Hoffine. He produces his work just like a movie set, filled with special effects makeup and fog machines, each photograph is the actual shot. No manipulation in PhotoShop. The results are pretty striking and horrifying… in a good way.

Not too sure what’s in the water running through Kansas City but whatever it is, boy oh boy.
