Saloncon Photos

Tuesday, September 16th, 2008

Here’s some shots from this past weekend’s Saloncon, with your fearless leader being schooled in what happens when you taunt a woman with a clockwork arm. The story goes something like this…


Me: Hey there lady, that’s a fine hat ya gots there.
Lady: Why thank you! I love it quite well, I do.


Me: You know I could hang that thing easily twixt my nether region ya know.
Her: Why dear sir, I never…


Me: AGGHAAA!
Her: Take that you unkempt cad!

Fun story ain’t it? I guess that schooled me good. In any case you can see a tun of photos from this past Saloncon on their Flickr profile. And if you’re looking for some ass-kicking Steampunk gear, like the clockwork arm in these pictures, go and check out Brute Force Leather.

Saloncon

Friday, September 12th, 2008

Zombie Monkey Projects is off to Saloncon, a gathering for folks who do what we oldsters call ‘Steampunk’. Lots of you young’ns like to call it ‘Neo-Victorian’… or yeah, Steampunk. Right. There’s a Steampunk meetup tonight and a load of things to do tomorrow. Check out the website for the shindig’s full schedule, which include a performance from Abeny Park. In any case I’ll be pushing my artwork, so be sure to look for the Grendel’s Den Design Studio banner.

So here’s a video from the headlining band Abney Park.

The Lust Cure Respiration Mask

Wednesday, June 4th, 2008

“The Lust Cure Respiration Mask is something that retards the outer thoughts while internalizing ones focus on the lesser obsessions.”

Obviously…

But hell, it is quite sinister looking in that Steampunk way. Which is the hotness in our eyes.

you can find more Steampunk oddness like this at The Secret Society of Odd Acquisitions.

New York Times Covers Steampunk Culture

Thursday, May 8th, 2008

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.

Star Wars Steampunk, Part The ‘nth

Friday, April 11th, 2008

Steampunk VaderWe know, we know – you’re just about sick and tired with Steampunk, let alone all the Star Wars themed stuff. But you know what? We ain’t! And the badassery you see here is why. Just look at this modded Darth Vader! He’s just one of a full cast of Star Wars characters that modder extraordinaire Sillof has just unveiled.

Thus far he’s got C-3P0, R2-D2, Luke, Han, Chewbacca, Obi-Wan, Leia, a Stormtrooper, Vader and even Gran Moff Tarkin. Nerdtastic!

Anyone who wants to make our day can see fit to obtain these for us. We will think of you highly and you will move up in the ranks of our cult of personality.
