I’ve started a few lists here on the blog, partly just so I can look up things I may forget, partly because it would be cool to do a “best of” for a the categories once there is enough content. I often look up, and see typefaces I like, but sometimes don’t get around to [...]

PBS Steampunk Documentary

September 6, 2011 – 11:30 AM

PBS ongoing web series “Off Book” does a little short on steam punk culture. Steampunk art evokes an alternate reality where steam is the primary source of power. Technology, though highly advanced, has taken on a very different look and feel, and fashion is heavily influenced by Victorian styles. In this episode, we explore the [...]

Conservatory of Flowers vs. Flemington Northlandz

November 19, 2010 – 3:05 AM

The conservatory of flowers SF hosts a train railway exhibit, which is awesome, but doesn’t compare to Flemington’s Northlandz railway museum. Victorian charm meets the steel workers. SF link here, Flemington link here. This year’s Garden Railway landmarks are designed by local trash-to-treasure artist James Sellier who works with the Artist in Residence program at [...]

Beautiful Glass Gardens

October 27, 2009 – 12:01 PM

Nice article in the SF Gate about Kat Gieger, and Emeryville eco-artist who creates Victorian micro-gardens inside glass terrariums. The motivation behind the terrariums is simple, and well-suited for the urban gardener or anyone who wants to add some aesthetics to their apartment: Her solution: Bring the outside in. And while raised beds of lettuce [...]

Steampunk Artist: Jake Von Slatt

August 1, 2009 – 7:23 PM

Saw this nifty video on steampunk artist Jake Von Slatt by Make Magazine. Steampunk culture is strange, and very intriguing at the same. Some very cool alternative metal printing techniques are shown in the video. If you don’t know what steampunk is, Wikipedia describes it as: “a sub-genre of fantasy and speculative fiction that came [...]
