Steampunk

I'm more than a casual fan of design. My favorite style is Art Deco. I'm a lover of most things Goth. I'm a devote and disciple of Hayao Miyazaki. I wear black.
Now I'm getting into Steam Punk. I may have already been into it back when I saw Naussica for the first time. That was way back when. Since, most of what Miyazaki has produced can be described as Steam Punk. His latest, Howl's Moving Castle, is decidedly definitive of the genre.


But enough about Miyazaki. I love the style of Steampunk. I love the anachronistic deployment of tech. I love the Victorian overtones. And industrial? You bet. Plus, there's the zeppelins. Straight out of 1930's Deco-industrial style. Lastly and never leastly, there's robots. Deco robots. Steam-powered deco robots.
I'm diggin.
