Everyone’s going steampunk these days, even the likes of Athena and Medusa thanks to Jessica Rowell of J-Chan Designs, photographer Nina Pak, and model Elizabeth Maiden. A touch of grungy metal mixed with mythic characters proves to be striking. I think Medusa’s coils are a huge improvement over the snakes.

Steampunk makes everything look classier – including the Empire. This tee makes a steampunk statement without slapping you in the face with cogs and gears. It makes you wonder if the Battle of Yavin would have ended any differently if the Death Star would have been powered by steam.

David Malki of the webcomic Wondermark explains the concept behind this shirt:
You walk around like everybody else, weaving in and out of the flow of humanity, searching fellow travelers’ eyes for the briefest flash of recognition — of coal-smoke leaking delicately from a too-loose collar, perhaps, or the deep churn of a furnace not baffled quite well enough, or of sparks leaping up in the hot space vacated by a man stepping off the curb and into the crosswalk. But now you can put an end to that timidity! Say it loud: Your lungs are boilers; your blood courses at two hundred twelve degrees. Your heart runs on steam power.

C-3PO and R2-D2 have never looked more dapper than they do in this t-shirt. The steampunk gentlemen look suits them, even though they’re droids. I mean, Threepio has the jaunty hat angle down and everything. However, they wouldn’t have lasted an hour on Tatooine. Sand is just not gear friendly.
