“Steampunk is an inspired movement of creativity and imagination. With a backdrop of either Victorian England or America’s Wild West, modern technologies are re-imagined and realized as elaborate works of art, fashion and mechanics. It’s also a retro-future fantasy world where everything from computers to airplanes are powered by steam.” Ministry of Peculiar Occurrences
