OMG YES!
There is a steampunk coffee shop called ‘Truth’ in Cape Town, South Africa. (More pictures and a short article here.)
Hello bucket list, you have been updated. I will go here before I die.
Sometimes steampunk and Goth are compared. Ever hear this one? “Steampunk – What happened when Goths discovered brown.”
There are some similarities in the aesthetics, but the biggest difference I’ve observed is the attitude of the people. (Note: This is generalized and purely based on my opinions and observations.)
Goths are unhappy people.
Steampunks are excited about life.
I can go up to anyone decked out in steampunk garb and start a conversation. Chances are they will be friendly, geeky, and a lot of fun to be around. Honestly, I’m intimidated by someone dressed as a goth, all in black, who doesn’t look all that friendly. Does this make me a scardy-cat? Yes, probably it does. Do I care? Nope.
I’m a steampunker through and through and I don’t really understand the appeal of goth culture. What are your experiences with steampunk/goth culture? Did I miss the mark here?
Doodlebugs, drawings, and sketches everywhere! Lately they are breeding at a rapid pace and exploding off sketchbook pages. Which, I suppose, isn’t a bad thing.
Here is a poor quality photograph (because I can’t afford to pay for these to be scanned in with super nice quality.)
DreampunkGeek: Sunday Sketch 9.15.13
Dreampunk is freedom of expression, alternate realities, futures, and histories that never were. Unlikely combinations of technology, logic, and magic.
