STEAMPUNK AND ART NOUVEAU
C H A L L E N G E


You may choose to interpret and represent Steampunk however you like, as there are various definitions of this genre on the web. Steampunk (may) combine the scientific romanticism of the Victorians with our real present and imagined future...

But, be inventive, be creative, be unique and most importantly Be inspyréd...
