Artist Brian Rood made a Stormtrooper helmet that was inspired by the steampunk art movement. He's auctioning it off to benefit the Make A Wish Foundation.
Steampunk is a genre of fandom that rather crept up on me. What is generally considered to mark it's beginning, I wonder? Wild Wild West? League of Extraordinary Gentlemen?

I enjoyed this read, Parts I to V. I almost laughed aloud when it reminded me of Back to the Future III's Steampunk elements. And let me recommend Time After Time as a movie way worth watching.

That was an interesting read.
ReplyDeleteI figured that Steampunk began as retro sci-fi, seeing Jules Verne as the center of the genre.
