Victorianism wasn't all goggles and steam. Disease, pollution, and one of the most authoritarian and unfair societies in history isn't something to celebrate. It was the beginning of Corporatism. Industry over man. I think its time we started forming Neanderthal and Hunter-Gatherer mobs to protest these events!

Also here, each artist could insert their own artwork image in the photo-box area for their personal websites. A second poster (shall I say, "lovelier"?)will be issued as we get closer to the Exhibition date. Thanks for your thoughts, My Best Regards, Art @ #8- CPT Nemo

I hate to have to keep sounding like a pompous blowhard, but I am the most-ripped-off person in the Steampunk art movement! Seriously! I came up with all of this stuff, and no one gives me credit, because I'm not part of the art ESTABLISHMENT. http://trippcook.deviantart.com/gallery/ How on earth was I not invited to participate.

Every time there is a Steampunk article you have to comment and link to your stupid picures. You did those in paint and even a 5 year old can see that! I don't apreciate your posts.

His pictures are a pretty accurate satire on that propagating aspect of certain sorts of steampunk, where you just put random gears on the outside of random things and call it macarony.

If so, you've squandered the chance to make a really great poster. That looks like it was made between 1:30am and 1:45am in MS Word. I really hope that is not the official poster.
