Erte... in the Future!

I found these spectacular Erte-style pseudo-Steampunk illustrations on io9! (they didn't have a link to the artist, but here's a link to the io9 post) I just had to share!


The lion and the mechanic girl...


Mechanical fish among old ruins.


I was staring intently at this picture for a couple of minutes, trying to figure out what made it futuristic... when I noticed the little glasses.


This one makes me feel Hermioney.

Annnyway, I went to a Harry and the Potters free concert at the Brooklyn Library today! It was magical, and Harry Potter fans are so nice and lovely and giving... Le sigh. I bought The Power of Love cd and a button and six postcard. Support the independent fandom rock bands of the world!
