Mark a.k.a. Broken Journalist created this awesome steampunk AT-AT walker as an engagement present for his fiancée. There are so many wonderful little details on this piece. It’s clearly a labour of geeky love.

To Mark and his Star Wars and steampunk-loving lass, the Geyser of Awesome congratulations on your engagement!

This remarkable creation is the work of Croatian metal artist Ivan Mavrović. What looks like an elaborate Steampunk pistol and is identified as a pen is SO much more than just a pen, we’re not sure where to start describing it. It’s the Metapen.

The Metapen started out as a pen, and a pretty handsome one at that, but while he was working on the pen, Ivan realized he could attach other objects to it and thus the astonishing design grew into an elaborate multitool. Made of brass, copper, steel, wood, and leather, the Metapen is also a fork, knife, spoon, lighter, usb stick, watch, light, screwdriver, pipe, toothbrush, shaving razor, nail clippers, and more.

Visit Ivan Mavrović’s website to view more photos of the amazing Metapen.

This awesome device is a fully-functional Typewriter Arm Guard with Bluetooth and Touchpad created by Thomas Willeford of Brute Force Studios. The keyboard is mounted on an intricately tooled Steampunkish leather and brass arm guard.

Watch a video demonstration here. Then head over to Etsy to view more images and, if you’ve got $1200 to spare, perhaps even order one for yourself.

Although it might look tiny, this awesome robot spider sculpture, made by Montreal-based artist and craftsman Daniel Proulx of Catherinette Rings, is nearly 7 inches wide. The best part, aside from that beautiful unblinking glass taxidermy eye, is the built-in vintage music box on its back that plays a tinkly version of the familiar French nursery melody “Frère Jacques” after being wound up. Altogether it’s exactly what you want crawling across your pillow in the middle of the night.

The Steampunk Musical Spider Robot Sculpture was exhibited at the Mark Twain House & Museum during the Steampunk Bizarre Exhibition 2011-2012 and is currently available for purchase at Catherinette Rings, Daniel Proulx’s Etsy shop, where you’ll find all sorts of other handmade treasures.

As many of you probably know by now, we have a serious soft spot for squirrels, even those that persist in scampering about in the altogether.

So when we saw that artist Carollyne Yardley has created multiple galleries of awesome paintings featuring anthropomorphic squirrels… Well, we swooned right on the spot. 

Here you see Never Dine Alone: Squirrel Banquet, Red Hat Squirrel, Steam Punk Squirrel, and Robot Squirrel, all painted with oil paints. There’s nothing like a fetching portrait of a squirrel dressed as a person to brighten one’s day.

But really, this post is just a taste. If you like these paintings even half as much as we do, treat yourself with a visit to Carollyne’s online gallery and webstore.
