I believe that Steampunk is more than just brass and watchparts. It's finding a way to combine the past and the future in an aesthetic pleasing yet still punkish way. It's living a life that looks old-fashioned, yet speaks to the future. It's taking the detritus of our modern technological society and remaking it into useful things. Join me as I search for items for my house that combine the scientific romanticism of the Victorians with our real present and imagined future.

The Art of Amy Weber
These art cards by Amy Weber are the most colorful steampunk art. Only 2.5" x 3.5", they are cute in so many ways -- I can imagine them decorating a child's room.
My favorite was the elephant:
She has a whole series of Alice in Wonderland characters done in a steampunk style. Many of her other works also combine steampunk and folk art styles.
She has different artwork scattered across Ebay, Etsy, DeviantArt, and CafePress (all linked from her blog), so be sure to poke around -- I'm sure you'll see something you like.
