Description
Pencil on heavy vellum. Digital coloration and typography. Seems as though it's such a hip thing to be creating Steampunk versions of all sorts of things these days. Here is the JUPITER TWO from the TV series LOST IN SPACE all Steampunked-Out. I'm not sure where the STEAMPUNK expression came form, and I don't particularly like it. I think it sounds kind of stupid. For the record, I prefer Retro-Future, or Retro-Tech.11/16/09

Looks good to me. Nothing like a boiler-plate starship to round out the stable of motive devices.
Here's a link for all the Steampunk explanations you were afraid to ask about.

Everything has to be dark and edgy today, or it's just not COOL!
Retro-Tech...not cool
Steam-PUNK...way cool!
It's that work "PUNK", it's the new BEAT Generation, counter culture thing-a-ma-jig.

Take solice in the original definitions of the word PUNK.
Any prepared substance that will smolder for lighting fires.
Dry, decayed wood used for tinder.
A worker of no experience.
Poor in quality.
A young male partner of a homosexual.
AND my personal favorite...
An archaic term for a prostitute.
Draw what you wish, old friend, we appreciate it.

I just can't get my head around a female prostitute being called a PUNK...a gay-boy prostitute...YES, but not a female. A teenage hoodlum, sure! And the incense-looking stick for lighting fireworks, INDEED!

Actually, Mr Webster didn't specify if the Pro was male or female, so...
The original matchlock rifles used Punks to fire the charge, which must have taken quite a few seconds for the powder to burn.
I've always liked the earlier definitions of words to more modern ones.

If you stop and think about so many words that we just toss around today...and consider what they really originally meant...like AWESOME...I hate hearing kids over use that word and they really have no idea what it means...it means to be in AWE of something and AWE was usually inspired by witnessing either God or his works. Not some stupid YOUTUBE video of a fat kid falling down..."Dude! That video was totally awesome!"
And another one: FANTASTIC...it means "of fantasy", but somehow the word has been downgraded in effect and come to be interchangeable with the word "GREAT".

Tis true, all true. But then, think of all the evil misuse of words we did as kids...Daddy-O. I suppose my pet peeve is the over use of acronyms. Takes away from the viewing experience when I have to keep referring to the Urban Dictionary to figure out what I'm reading.

Yes, that is much to common these days. An when someone comments on my work using text-speak it just burns my ass! Are you too lazy to type the entire word? You're NOT paying by the letter on the internet. Write the whole damned word please. My business partner told me about an article he read that some younger people are so used to text speak that they think it is acceptable to use it in resumes and cover letters when applying for jobs! Now that is just crazy! Of course, the point of the article was the fact that it is NOT at all acceptable...or at least not YET. How do you go through four years of college and come out thinking that is acceptable???
I often sign my message with my initials:MJB...recently some guy responded to a comment I had made, by asking what the acronym MJB stood for...

For at least another 20 years or so, the acronym writers will have to put up with people like us who don't appreciate nor tolerate it. "I wonder why I didn't get the job?" Because you can't form a complete sentence! YOU represent MY company and you think I want an image like that?
I that wasn't so sad, it might actually be funny that said guy couldn't figure out your initials!

I know Man! Very sad!
I never considered myself as proficient at the English language as I should have been...but these days I sometimes feel like a Rhodes Scholar when I see some of the butchered English language that I do.

So do I. I cringe at some of it. My favorite was when I read a comment that the English language was so restictive in its lack of descriptive words. Really, 1.5 million words aren't descriptive enough?

According to her profile, a 25 year old young woman from Idaho. I was just amazed.

A sign of the end-times I fear.
