[97MaryAnne95]

I think from now on Jake von Slatt is one of my biggest idols.

[mythghost]

this stuff is awsome i see it on the syfy channel alot and didn't know it had a name

[jjobie]

What I find interesting is that it's only been considered an aesthetic unto itself for, what, maybe 20 something years... is that long enough for somebody to be a "legend?" :P

[KryssLaBryn]

@jjobie Well, I guess it is, if pretty much everyone in a world-wide movement has seen his work, knows his name, and aspires to someday make something as cool as his work? Plus he's been around for a while?

I know what you're saying, but I don't think the usage here is ENTIRELY erroneous... ;-)

[Daradoo1989]

[CaterpillarHero]

I Love This Guy! He has so much at his disposal, I'm glad he puts it all as well as his brilliant mind to good use. Cheers!

[DJelectfire]

ok I take that back~ just a little though...

[DJelectfire]

you can't hold a gas lamp to Richard Nagy (Datamancer!)

[t260y]

is there a thing for steampunk, but replaces the steam thing going on with electrical stuff instead?

[FlipTheDish]

@t260y Yeah, its called wanna be.

[kerfledgeon]

@t260y Sounds more like cyberbunk, which is a kind of medium that's very post-modern and paranoid, matrix-y stuff.

[DORproductions117]

[laramis]

@dchsninja If you go to his site- he'll tell you that he gets a lot of stuff from "free cycle", "craigslist" and his local dump.

[teachrtec]

Very cool. Thank you for sharing.

[xoxsamandkimxox]

[burly636]

You are a genius

[EvoKitty]

I just discovered Steampunk via your Computer.  I am so in love ♥ Thank you for the Inspiration, Jake ☺

[theblindtrio]

wow that band really sucked.

[punqarotzy]

@theblindtrio lol I was just gonna ask who the band was cuz I liked them. :)

[Jordijoon]

@punqarotzy Check out Viva Le Vox from Lake Worth FL

[BabyScarecrow]

@punqarotzy They're Humanwine, the song is called Script language

[teslawizardvvv3]

genius wounder could you do a steampunk Morgan 4 ?

[0b50l3t3]

wow i love all the things made here!! very creative.

[TheEgocenteredOnion]

"Wow, there's a name for what I am."

Exactly how I felt when I discovered this style.

[maxhostile]

I can't believe this is for real. This guy is such a loser.

[longtoes12]

@maxhostile Your a loser for watching this he is an artist

[SigurdHeathen]

@maxhostile

Knows the ins and outs of mechanics, good with his hands, has a pool and a house and a family... yeah, he's a real loser.

[MostcallmeZach86]

@maxhostile Your just upset because you don't understand it.

[bleachmaster1011]

car of my dreams!!!!!!

[ChapstickSweets]

i want that computer!

[jalejo921]

Can you make a video on how you etched the Altoid tins with salt water?

[knah5]

the name of the band at the end?

[MonkeyBoy9753]

This is ridiculously - nay - incomprehensibly awesome.

[SovietMordor]

This really makes me want to get much more involved in the steampunk community. I am staring at my notebook (laptop) trying to figure out some cheap (on a college student's budget) conversions. Rwar.

[littlemute]

amagad it was him!! that made the awesome SP computer!!

[StationaryTransient]

I think steampunk is a really interesting style, but I don't understand how a community can be formed around it... Maybe just artists who have the similar interest in common...

[msm2you]

@StationaryTransient You'd be surprised. I'm part of the Toronto Steampunk Society. I don't do metal arts - nor do I make costumes.  But I'm a wicked researcher with a creative edge. If I want a costume, I design it and get it made by a steampunker who costumes. It's like buying hockey equipment, really.

[clownrus]

@StationaryTransient Even in that sense, then it would be a community of artists who have the similar interests...in steampunk.So a steampunk community. It's not difficult to figure out at all :/

[narutoxfunny10]

@StationaryTransient Steampunk already is a scene. It is for those who like the style, are interested in the Victorian era and also Fantasy and SciFi fans. It combines fashion, history, technical things and all kinds of art. The people who like that meet at convention etc., can make a role play, exchange about fashion or history and watch steampunk artists. So all in all it is already a community. Not only artists can have fun there :)

[TalentedToast]

@StationaryTransient Its just like sports, when a sport gets big society starts to reflect it, the arts work the same. If you hang around a bunch of artists/performers who act and believe in similar things ideals and such begin to develop.

[Aldrnarii]

@StationaryTransient You don't need to understand how it is a community, it just is :D its people that love steampunk coming together, its a very valid community

[georgekostaras]

@StationaryTransient Never underestimate people with a shared idea.

[steamboat28]

@StationaryTransient The same way there's a stamp-collecting community: people who share similar interests tend to congregate. It's just that with Steampunk, the interest is an aesthetic overlay--an artistic way of approaching everything else in your life.

[InkBleedsDeeper]

yay! HUMANWINE!

[discrepancy666]

What`S the band called at 0:42?

I need to know :)

[suseman]

@discrepancy666

Abney Park is the name of the band and the background music just after that too.

[MrsHowl]

@discrepancy666 me too...so i'm going to have to linger here till someone answers you... X)

[MrsHowl]

@discrepancy666 OK i searched it myself out of impatience - it's "HumanWine" ...as Nessy said...only realise now thats the band name X)

[discrepancy666]

thx

[petrino]

[destaniofhearts]

Oh wow... I wish our world was set in steampunk... I love this vid and that computer keyboard. I want that keyboard so bad!!!

[BleedingSanctuary]

SO awesome!!!! i need to learn some of this stuff ;D

[BerleyKerr]

The name of the band is Humanwine. The songs they sing are from their album Fighting Naked. I highly recommend ;)

[dragocyber]

It was cool to see Girl Genius get a mention. I love reading that comic.

[forrestgumprules]
