When people look at steampunk and steampunks they are presented with inspiration and imagery straight from the Victorian period. They often ask is this some form of victorian re-enactment or an attempt to ressurect the Victorian period as a whole. The fact that steampunk is often described as neo-victorian people equate with “new victorians” and immediately assume that steampunks seek to adopt all aspects of the period, lock stock and two steaming barrels. On this occasion even wikipedia…

In the week since then the Exhibition has been packed up ready for shipping back to the relevant artists. A large portion of it is currently sitting at my home awaiting collection for conveyance to…

I was surprised therefore when the two comments left were closer to my own personal thoughts on the…

- Hi John
It was great to meet you today, a real pleasure talk with you too.
I look forward to talking to you again and hope you have finally warmed up after standing for so long in that cold church hall at Leeds Steampunk Market. We had a really good time there and where made to feel so welcome.
All the very best Tony :-))

Avalon Durance said… - wow that sounds fantabulous! I definately want to go to some Steampunk meets, if only I'd known about the gathering at the closing of the exhibition in Oxford, I missed the opening aswell, although when I visited the museum in February I was very impressed and inspired ofcourse!
