Today I came across this lovely photographic artwork of the Reverend Demon Daz in a very steampunk, Nautilus-like submarine setting by one Jason Juta from London, England. Other than this stunning piece, he maintains a gallery with fabulous artwork, including Lovecraft-inspired photos. Well worth the visit, I say!

Today is International Talk Like a Pirate Day, the piratical celebration of all fans of the seafaring scoundrals and knaves.

Of course, the steampunk community has its own twist to the party: with our countless air pirates (and with Abney Park serving as poster children for that style, let’s not forget ) we have renamed the holiday to Talk Like an Air Pirate Day.

So Happy Talk Like an Air Pirate Day to you all, may your day be filled with pirate speak, plunder and beverages of choice! And may no airship pirate be apprehended by the law today, for today is surely the day of the aereal rogues.

The popularity of steampunk now also has reached the minds of makers of alternative toys! Tenacious Toys just released their “Doktor A Mechtorians:” six 3.5" figurines displaying the best of steam with their whymsical outlook and cheerful colors mixed with brass. They are sure to appeal of steampunks of all ages.

The site mentions these lovely creations as series 1, so here is to hoping that we will be able to see many more affordable ($14.95 per toy) steampunk creatures from this line!

Today is Saint Patrick’s Day but more important is that we celebrate “Air Kraken Day” today—the most steampunk day of the year!

Seeing we failed to find a good picture of an air kraken (the creatures are very scarce and camera shy), you get to behold this lovely dress that looks as though it is covered in tentacle suction cups instead. Imagine that dress with proper steampunk accessories, it would be perfect for Air Kraken Day celebratory wear!

The outfit is part of the very first real collection of designer Ek Thongsprasert, called “Lov” and described as a combination of the classic, poetic and conceptual.
