Steampunk merges with modern style at The Architectural Design Magazine Home Show coming March 17-20 , 2011 in New York City. Art Donovan of Donovan Design will launch his first NYC show with a collection of "Steampunk Modern" illuminated designs and will also be signing his newest book, "The Art of Steampunk." Steampunk combines modern technology with a style sensibility taken from the Victorian era.

There's a Facebook page for the exhibit that shows a few designs and highlights and Donovan has promised that if it gets up to 2500 "likes" for this page everyone will be entered into a raffle to win one of his Steampunk lamp designs. The final log on date is midnight, March 12. There will be five runner up prizes of the original, Signed Steampunk posters from the Oxfords' University Museum exhibition. That exhibit was the world's first Steampunk Art Exhibition taking place at the Museum of the History of Science, the University of Oxford, UK.

These are outstanding designs! I love Steampunk, and as an author and designer, I can appreciate the artistry and the inspiration. :> I could make up a half dozen stories just looking at the design! Grins.
