Defined by the Oxford Dictionary as “a genre of science fiction that typically features steam-powered machinery rather than advanced technology”, Steampunk has taken the world by storm, rapidly moving from literature into movies, games and fashion. This book is an indispensable guide for those looking for inspiration and projects to create, from robot arms to jewellery and goggles!

Firstly I would like to say what a delight this book is to own. The quality of the publication is awesome. There are amazing photos of the art work and good descriptions of the projects. The majority of art projects are for the higher skill level a wide range and there is something for everyone, and inspiration in heaps.
The book is a delight to look at, with the first section filled with stunning images that will blow your mind away. There is a lot of steampunk art online, but the steampunk art in this book is far superior to anything you will find. I was lucky enough to see some of Haruo Suekichi work first hand, as it was part of an exhibition in the History of Science Museum Oxford.

There is plenty to choose from in this magical book, and I am sure you will all find your favourites, mine is Mari Igarashi who is not only a talented artist but also models in many of the photographs.
There are sixteen other spectacular artists are who have contributed to this book which showcases some of the best steampunk artists in Japan today, each with their own unique take on this genre producing breathtakingly beautiful art.
If you are new to steampunk or just admire it and would love to know how the original and amazing art work is made, but have no intention of ever making any you will enjoy this book also. I am thrilled with this book and believe that you will be also.
