Steampunk Music Video Abney Park Chitty Chitty Bang Bang

Arthur Chappell @arthurchappell (44941) • Preston, England 18 Sep 19

The Chitty Chitty Bang Bang theme in the original movie is quite fun, and this Abney Park steampunk spin on it is quite faithful to the tune though with a darker edge to it. The video is quite silly, with the Abney Park car not...

Photo of the Day: Steampunk and Floral

Michelle Renee Kidwell @Michellekidwell (29953) • Sonora, California 9 May 19

I did this or over a year ago, I had taken a picture of a Gerbera Daisy I had taken and then used an effect on Photholab Pro, to give it more of a steampunk feel! Do you like how it turned out? Why or why not?

Stacey @xstitcher (39015) • Petaluma, California 20 Aug 16

I was over on Etsy and made a purchase. I have found, in looking at different things on line that I like "steampunk" designed things. I saw this steampunk teddy bear/watch/pendant/necklace and thought it was kind of neat, and I...

Steampunk, Cyberpunk, or A little of both?

Anora_Eldorath @Anora_Eldorath (6028) • United States 21 Nov 10

What do you prefer: Steampunk, Cyberpunk, or a little of both? I'm a mostly Steampunk lady, but I do like some things from the Cyberpunk realm so I suppose a bit of both. You know if I'm going to hang with a Mechanist I might as...
