A New York-based design blog, Pretty Smart Design, asks, “What’s Steampunk?” “I keep running into the “steampunk” trend. It’s difficult to give a concise definition because there are lots of variations on the theme, but it’s kind of Victorian steam age meets sci-fi.”

Here’s a steampunk stocking stuffer.

Steampunkers rock out at Nueva Musas, plus a clip from City of Lost Children, which surely qualifies as a steampunk movie.

Luminis Kanto presents a steampunk seraph.

Members of the League of S.T.E.A.M. talk about influences on their costumes.

GeekSyndicate asks, “What do Firefly,Labyrinth, Steampunk and Dark Marine Fantasy have in common?” and reaches the conclusion that it’s the new webcomic, Border Crossings.

    Great timing I was about to search for new websites related to Steampunk!

    If I may be so bold, my own website has some goodies to offer, maybe a bit late for x-mas but feel free to browse. http://www.etsy.com/shop/dragonladych

    I hope this is ok to post here. Feel free to delete the comment other wise.

    Interesting that this post is focusing completely on the design aesthetic of steampunk, and fails to mention the literary movement at all.
    My coverage on steampunk literature can be found here.
