Steampunk

Marie was just fabulous last week.  Thank you
for all of the lovely entries.  

What is Steampunk? 

The Steampunk style has been a part of fantasy and science fiction artwork and literature for a few years now. Some proponents insist on keeping it entirely science-based, while others like to throw in healthy doses of fantasy. The question they all seem to be asking, though, is "what if X ran on steam?" X can be anything from computers to cars to personal jetpacks. Working prototypes of steampunk-esque machines have even been made (and used). It’s an entire subculture, defined by a propensity toward Victorian aesthetics, practicality, and steam-powered anything. 

This Steampunk background was a free download from


Just add steam and have some fun creating your
Steampunk art.  
Use the background above if you like.
