Steampunk Thursday #10: Art and Artists

The last and final Steampunk Thursday! You can catch up with all of the previous posts here.

Steampunk being the creative community that it is, artists literally abound!


Jessica Van Hulle's beautiful collection of steampunk and dieselpunk pin-ups are just begging to be on your living room wall! These oil paintings are more than just a little bit different and have a fun, quirky style.



DeviantArt is awash with beautiful steampunk pieces - Steampunk by PReilly being just one such example. Look see what a steampunk search turns up!

io9 have collected an amazing gallery of Sam Van Olffen's work - very much steampunk meats surrealist, his art is very heard to categorise but I would select AWESOME.

Of course art doesn't just live on the screen/canvas and there are some even more fantastic art pieces/furniture/just about anything you can shake a Victorian walking stick at that have been thoroughly steampunked!

This beautiful steampunk book was made by none other than geek with curves' significant other Tim - who is not only a fantastic make up artist but also a skilled prop maker and sculptor - check out his DeviantArt for more quirky creations!

If you've ever Googled 'steampunk' you've probably seen some of Datamancer's custom steampunk computers. As he proclaims himself, he creates heirlooms - and I couldn't agree more!

I hope you've enjoyed this introduction to steampunk. Remember to go to Brass Goggles for friends, Steampunk Jewellery for... well, steampunk jewellery (!) and Livejournal for steamy fashion tips!
