Good Evening,
Excellent site you have here. I’m a big fan of Da Vinci and all that is associated with him.
I just wanted to bring to your attention a book that has Clockpunk & Steampunk elements in it, predominately Steampunk though. I throughly enjoyed the read. As a matter of fact I have read it several times.
The name of the book is Salamander, by Thomas Wharton, you or others here may have read it. In the event that you haven’t I thought you might want to take a peek at it. If I have errored in sending this please forgive me. Once again, kudos for the site, I shall return as often as possible.
Here is a link to the book on Amazon.com.

Absalon thanks for the reference, we will definately check it out and post some info if it turns out to be relevant.
I think this should count as clockpunk – even though it’s an online comic?

Thanks for the link Mark.
I’m going to shamelessly plug my blog, which documents a short film myself and another bloke are working on.

It’s not pure clockpunk, not really, but the last few posts are documenting the building of a big ole’ CG clocktower. It might be interesting to ya’ll.
Keep up the blogging.
Cheers
I cobbled together a short YouTube video imagining what the Internet might have looked like if it existed in 1900. In it I Steampunk’d everything from the Star Wars Kid to the Swiftboat Veterans. I was surprised to find that there was no Steampunk group to which I could post it, so I created one. Any and all who have Steampunk or other Clockpunk videos are welcome to post and discuss. If you would like to take in my little offering, it is at:

Or search YouTube for “Steampunk Internet.”
Thanks for letting me share, and thanks for Da Vinci Automata!
Your blog is fascinating and I think you may find that elements of mine are too.
I look forward to more.
Great blog! I love the clockwork elephant. You have inspired me to paint a clockwork echidna…I have painted all kinds of clockwork creatures including a clockwork anteater…but no echidna yet.
Fantastic blog!
I’m a clockmaker with an art degree. If my work could be classified as anything, it would be clockpunk. Thanks for giving exposure to such a niche group of artisans!
Enjoy!
Hi,
First I’d like to congratule you for the blog!
I’m student of Automation Eng and I’m looking for some good books about the history of the engeneering of DA VINCI or any other acient engineer (like HERON of Alexandria).I have watched “Ancient Discoveris : Ancient Robots” at History Channel and now I just need to read about it!

Please mail me if someone knows any good one
Please visit my web site and enjoy my steampunk automata
Hello!
I wonder if you might be interested in my creations. I make a range of papercraft automaton kits. you might like’The Automaton artist’ (He’s alive, and really draws) or perhaps ‘Feeding time at the zoo’. Both have utube vids, and if you feel able to put them on your blog I’d be really grateful. People like my models when they see them, but the problem is getting the word about!
Keep up the good work..your blog is fab!
best wishes
Tim cool4cats
