Splendid!! Professor Elemental

Jake von Slatt — Fri, 07/08/2011 - 07:57

I was sorely dissapointed that I was not able to spend time with the lovely Professor Elemental at the Steampunk World's Fair this year. I only got the briefest of "Hellos!" in as we passed in the hallway heading to our events. It's nice to see that the Professor is doing well, in fact, everything seems SPLENDID!!

Last year a film crew from Canada rode down to The Steampunk World's Fair with me in the bus. They spent the weekend documenting the event and the result is set to air in Canada on July 13 on SPACE channel. It looks like a great show!

Vice Versus series on VBS.tv Covers Steampunk

The VBS.tv series Vice Versus covers Steampunk. If you're an East Coast steampunk or hang out in The SteamFashion Community on LJ you'll see many familiar faces here in as a bunch of NY steamers visit the New York Anime Festival and talk about steampunk and Anime's Neo-Victorian influences and connections.

Oxford Steampunk Exhibition Documentary

A very nice documentary about the Steampunk exhibition at the Oxford Museum of the History of Science.

This exhibition was curated by Art Donovan who you will recall did a similar gallery show in the Hamptons last year.

Shout-out from Attack of the Show

Oh hai! we got a nice little shout-out from G4's Attack of the Show! (This is from 2007 but it apparently aired again last night - can anyone tell me what episode?)

Modern Alchemy - The building of Ignatius The Firepig.

Jake von Slatt — Wed, 06/24/2009 - 11:44

You may recall Patrick Johnson's marvelous short film Granite Copper Motor from earlier this year. Recently Patrick spent some time with my friends David, Dennis, and Brady, while they designed and constructed a steam boiler dubbed 'Ignatius the Firepig.' I do so love Patrick's calm and peaceful treatment which is the antithesis of todays frenetic, falsely dramatic, cable television style.

Enjoy!

G4 Underground on Steampunk

Jake von Slatt — Mon, 04/13/2009 - 09:37

UPDATE: Aw hey! No fair! They pulled the full story from Youtube and the segment on the G4 site just has the Abney Park part. Boo.

G4 Underground does Steampunk! Wow this came out pretty nicely. I don't look like a complete idiot and all of my Abney Park friends look fabulous as usual!

A producer showed up at the Workshop with a camera less than a day after G4 first emailed me - I had no time to clean up and I barely got the car out of storage and running. The engine was still a little balky after its winter rest and it chose the moment the producer stood up to get a shot to start missing! I nearly tossed him out on the pavement!

Meet Tom Sepe: Steampunk Artist, Fabricator, Performer

Jake von Slatt — Wed, 03/11/2009 - 13:46

I had the great pleasure to meet Tom Sepe at Maker Faire last year, in addition to being a fine artist he's a fun and entertaining fellow to be around. Tom recently produced the above video to aid him in what I'll call a journey of "Discovery" and I think it does a great job of highlighting his talent. It will also give you a closer look at some of his work which we've published here in the past.

And to pass on an overheard comment: "definitely a candidate for the SteamHunks Calendar" LOL!
