Pardon for the tardiness of this post, but I’m pleased to say that my interview over at SteamPunk Spectacular has been released in podcast format! I’ve only done a handful of interviews, but I would go so far as to say that this was my favorite so far. The rest of the podcast is quite [...]
We are happy to present to the world The Gaslamp Bazaar, a forum for discussing SteamPunk as a growing counter-culture, one that hopes to challenge the hegemony of crass consumerism. It is a virtual place to gather with your fellows and discuss our arts, literature, politics, crafts, lives, and the like. We hope you enjoy [...]
after being sold out for over a month, we just got in our reprints of issues #1-#2, which may be ordered with our fancy new web-cart!. You may also note that the website has been moved entirely onto this wordpress blog. We did this for ease of updating, and I think the new ordering system [...]
You can now get your grubby little hands on a copy of SteamPunk Magazine #7, which is filled with articles about politics, fashion, and forging your own island. As ever, it can also be downloaded for free from our downloads page.
Printed copies are available from Vagrants Among Ruins, who ship from the UK to the rest of the world.
BEFORE THE age of homogenization and micro-machinery, before the tyrannous efficiency of internal combustion and the domestication of electricity, lived beautiful, monstrous machines that lived and breathed and exploded unexpectedly at inconvenient moments. It was a time where art and craft were united, where unique wonders were invented and forgotten, and punks roamed the streets, living in squats and fighting against despotic governance through wit, will and wile.
Even if we had to make it all up.
SteamPunk Magazine is a publication that is dedicated to promoting steampunk as a culture, as more than a sub-category of fiction. It is a journal of fashion, music, misapplied technology and chaos. And fiction.
It just may be the most spectacular magazine to ever fight against the spectacle, and it is free. Or as cheap as we can possibly get it to you. Using the latest in Creative Commons technology, we undermine the fascism of copyright while protecting ourselves from direct co-option.
We sell the magazine for as close to cost as we can manage, and we offer it for free PDF download for printing at home.
