Steampunk inspired

Steampunk celebrates a bygone era, a time of invention, mechanics and awesome fashion. There is a huge Steampunk following so it makes sense that Steampunk is also celebrated in ink. Timepieces are a classic steampunk theme.

Hot air balloons and steam trains feature widely too.

Jules Verne inspired several pieces.

including these amazing octopus examples.

And to finish a classic Steampunk art piece with the often featured clogs and industrial inspired colours.
