by Elisabeth@TFAW While fairytales are eternal, passed down for thousands of years, the popular notion is that these classic fables are just for kids. Well, not anymore. Artist and writer Nick Percival has created a dark, steampunk wonderland: Legends: The Enchanted , an upcoming graphic novel from Radical Publishing. However, you can get a sneak peek of this epic with issue #0, out January 27, with...

Hey, check out what I just bought: Kiriko Moth, Rebuilding, 2007 $5 from Etsy plus postage, thank you very much. I'm not sure this is the kind of thing I'd usually go for, (art nouveau steampunk) but it's so cute and well-executed I couldn't help myself. Plus I am a sucker for a 'Lady and the Tiger' theme. So Kiriko Moth (I suspect that is not her real name) does lots of illustrations in a similar...

Kris Kuksi Beast Anthology 548 West 28th Street, 3rd Floor, NYC Nov 21 -- Dec 19, 2009 Last night I went to Kris Kuksi 's Beast Anthology opening at the Joshua Liner gallery . I had seen pictures of his work over the past year and was anxious to view them in person. Kuksi takes bits and pieces of action figures, toy soldiers, tank models, and a seemingly endless selection of other figurative found...

Nerve is running "Sex Advice From Dungeons & Dragons Players," answering questions about RPGs, role-playing, and finding mating opportunities among the nerdy. It's a delight. What's the best way to pick up a D&D player? If you're a geek and you see a girl geek browsing the comic books and players' manuals, don't make assumptions. Nothing irritates me more than having someone tell...

I made these three-hole separators out of pewter. Mainly, I wanted to see if I could make them. I planned to use them to separate three strands of pearls. Or maybe to use to connect a strand of beads to a clasp, one hole to the clasp side and two holes for the strands. I think they look very steampunk or at least, my idea of what that would be like. Something from the hardware store, with a lot of...

Originally published at tansyrr.com . You can comment here or there . 35791 / 50000 And thus a singularly unproductive day can be transformed into an incredibly productive one… I am tired, so tired, my brain is just a little broken and one of my characters just developed a new lover interest (dude, seriously, did you need more?) which surprised me but explained so very much. A very good character...

Steampunk style--what is it? As tempting as it is to begin my residency here at SPWS as fashion reporter with a verbose and pretentious tirade about style philosophy, I believe my audience is likely informed and intelligent enough to already know enough about the genre to grok the basics. Let me make this quick so we're all on the same page: I will address steampunk fashion as a style of dress that...

Behold the birth (and the death) of sporepunk . If Jeff VanderMeer´s FINCH could be summated in but one word (it can´t, mind you, but let´s pretend, just for argument´s sake), it could be this one: sporepunk . Naturally, the suffix punk is more than overrated, and the story doesn´t have anything to do with old cyberpunk or steampunk stories. It is, however, a good, old-fashioned...

The Cyberus Smart Info Engine may sound like a steampunk computer which connects to the Victorian Internet (which would actually be awesome) but it is instead the most full-featured digital photo-frame ever. To be fair, the manufacturer, Sungale, wouldn’t describe it like that. The company (which does make LCD photo-frames) is selling this as a device [...]

Speaking of BEAM robotics , this "school" of robotic architecture celebrated its 20th anniversary on Nov 10th. Twenty years ago, on that date, BEAM creator Mark Tilden built his first BEAMbot, the Solarover 1.0, out of two dead calculators, two dead Phillips cassette mechanisms, and parts from Laser printer cartridges. Solarbotics has a little celebratory post, with some thoughts from Mark...
