A Compendium of Steampunk Moving Pictures

My Favorite Steampunk Moving Pictures



Of course, I know what I consider to be Steampunk/Dieselpunk may not be by others, but I do know that The Wild, Wild West has been featured in a Steampunk book compendium. I also know that both Tai Chi movies are Asian Steampunk, in this case, Chinese. I highly recommend those on both the Animated and Live Action lists, though the two on my third list are maybes. I really love Edgar Rice Burroughs and have read all of the…

Animated Music Video - Everything Stops for Tea, by Professor Elemental

Just a quick heads up-- recently finished a full animated music video for "Everything Stops for Tea," one of my favorite Professor Elemental songs. I've had the good fortune of doing quite a bit of work for him, including the album cover for Father of Invention, and the entire album sleeve design for his upcoming EP release.

Check out the new video here:

Frugality of a certain kind

I'm cheap.

Not because I want to be.

I don't have tons of cash laying around.

So I'm gonna show up at my events with my home-spun tablecloth and my self-printed poster that is regular 8.5X11 because that is the size of printer I have and my self-designed bookmarks with my self-edited books and self-designed covers and in two cases self-taken photos...

There are tons of projects would like to do, tons of things related to the books I would like to see happen. Things that…

Steampunk Literature?

I really want to read some modern steampunk books, not books that were published and then categorized as steampunk (Frankenstein, The Time Traveler, etc.). I want books that were written specifically for the steampunk genre. Any suggestions?

A Map of the Solar System in Adele's Universe

      I've mentioned this before, but since I've been making some remarks that incorporate the names of planets, I've decided to attempt a more clear description of the Solar System in what I've decided to call "Adele's Universe".  In order to do so, I've made a rather crude map, but a map nonetheless.  Hopefully it will stop any confusion that may occur when I say things like "Areans".  I should also add that nothing in this map is to scale.…

Chapter 23 Episode 8 - Conclusion

      ACT II

      SCENE I:  Upstairs at the inn.  The largest of three rooms which everyone will be occupying for the night.  It is about 2130.  Adele and Regnad are seated on a small couch.  Sabeetha, Marie, and Krancher are each in chairs facing them.  Caroline is at a small desk, just finishing the second of two Sylothian newspapers. Lady Tekla and Dietlinde are absent.

A.      That was a pretty decent meal.  I sure did appreciate that roast chicken!

R.    …

Further Coincidences &c. (TFCHM)

    Awhile back, I related some odd coincidences with regard to the character of Adele Calloway.  These can be found here:  http://www.thesteampunkempire.com/profiles/blogs/something-different-strange-coincidences

    Back then, I mentioned that I might tell the story of Adele's middle name someday.  Today is that day.

    Soon after I'd settled on Adele's…

Cracked

Back in October at the Steel City Beard and Mustache Club competition, I purchased a mustache mug from One Eyed Cat and it quickly became my favorite mug. And, yes, it's because it's essentially an adult sippy-cup, specifically designed to keep my beverage out of my mustache.

Well, at one point some months…
