A jaw-droppingly exquisite volume of Steampunk Graphics!

Posted on October 07, 2014 by Graffito Books

It is our absolute pleasure to announce the arrival, in bookshops and online, of Steampunk Graphics  our new, stunning, luxury, 240-page volume of the world's best steampunk artists and their remarkable. mind-warping visions of the Victorian future that – sadly – never was.


 Paradoxically, the astonishing flights of imagination resulting in the most memorable images of  the  steampunk movement have only been possible due to the advances in digital design packages of  the  last few years.                                                                                                                                        
The unique art contained within this tome is of a high order; once seen these images are never  forgotten. Each artist has created a distinct series of worlds and aesthetics inspired by different  aspects of the genre. From the remarkable oils of Vadim Voitekhovitch to the Empire-style steam-  powered U-boat pens of Industrial Forest; from the gripping visuals of Kevin Mowrer's grand  steampunk oeuvre to the orientalism of Vladimir Bondar; from the remarkable contraptions of Zephyr  Chef to Remton's dirigible armadas in romantic-era cities. The sheer inventiveness will astound and  delight. 




For those into steampunk this is a visual feast over which to pore again and again, capturing new details each time. For the steampunk maker or creator, it's a virtually endless source of ideas and inspiration. For everyone else, it is a testament to the power of the genre that, globally, goes from strength to strength.

The book includes a detailed introduction by Kevin Mowrer on the origins of the movement and its recent development, as well as biographies of each artist, sharing their evolution, engagement with steampunk aesthetics and their sources of inspiration. Our ambition was to create one of the most rewarding steampunk visual records out there. The mind-bending quality of the artists within means that we have, we think, got there.
