Lady at the McDonalds drive-thru complimented me on the ''steampunk'' design on the side of my truck. Said her husband would be interested in a sign, so I gave her my card. What is a steampunk?

Posted by Shirley Carron (Member # 2446) on :

Wikipedia has the definition of 'Steampunk'. It's cool.

Posted by Wayne Webb (Member # 1124) on :

OK thanks Shirley....I just checked out some pics and my logo don't look like no ''steampunk'' to me. [I Don t Know]

Wayne,
It's probably the gears - look great by the way!

Posted by Wayne Webb (Member # 1124) on :

Thanks! Maybe they will buy a sign.

Posted by Shirley Carron (Member # 2446) on :

Yup - it's the gears! Steampunk fans are drawn to anything mechanical looking.

It's cool how Steam Punk can cover from 1700's to far into the future.

Posted by old paint (Member # 549) on :

one of the best examples of it was the series and the movie WILD WILD WEST))))

Check out Joe's Steampunk Stella. http://diazsignart.com/steampunk-stellas/
It's done him well with Corel & Roland!

Posted by Dan Sawatzky (Member # 88) on :

I absolutely LOVE steampunk ... rusty metal, gears and LOTS of rivets. We incorporate this style whenever we can. Joe's Steampunk Stella is a wonderful example.

Our current large project has some steampunk styled pieces in it. Today I began work on a giant mechanical Kraken. It will be 32 feet long from tip of tail to the outermost tentacle. The piece is being built to fit inside a forty foot shipping container and is going to Trinidad.

Here's how it looks as of quitting time today... just a good start on the steel structural part today. Tomorrow we begin doing the pencil rod sub structure, then the mesh skin and finally the carved concrete over that.
