15 Jun My main artistic philosophy is to create cool art from repurposed and found objects. Today, I thought I’d show how I imagine these pieces and parts into steampunk airship features. Enjoy the video, and please give it a like, share it with a friend and subscribe to my YouTube channel! Stephan J. Smith… Continue reading Steampunk airship parts from found objects

Repurposing cardboard into steampunk airship gondolas – Artsmith Craftworks
09 May One of the major activities I engage in when creating my art is repurposing everyday objects into something else. A couple of the things I repurpose the most are paper and corrugated cardboard… simple and seemingly utilitarian materials that we all take for granted. Not me. I look at these materials with love… Continue reading Repurposing cardboard into steampunk airship gondolas – Artsmith Craftworks
18″ Steampunk airship 003
22 Apr Today’s post is a mid-range size steampunk airship. This dirigible has a more “grunge” gondola with the propeller mounted on it instead of on the airship envelope like others I’ve done. It also has a pillar mount rather than the more Victorian looking netted suspension and the fins are a plate copper design.… Continue reading 18″ Steampunk airship 003
Steampunk Airship Diarama
10 Jan I have done many airships and those of you familiar with my work may have seen them at World Steam Expo, which is sadly, no more :-(. This project is one that I wanted to approach a little differently. I still wanted to do an airship, but one that was the same style… Continue reading Steampunk Airship Diarama
The airship propeller
The airship propeller 31 Jan Last time I finished putting the propeller support scaffolding on the steampunk airship that is to be part of my diarama. Now I’ll start the propeller itself. I can’t emphasize enough that you don’t need to buy much in order to create amazing art. Just look around you…I save plastic… Continue reading The airship propeller
Airship Christmas Ornaments
Airship Christmas ornaments 21 Dec I recently finished two different sets of little steampunk airship Christmas ornaments for some friends of mine. I had started them awhile ago, then with the other work I was doing, I had put them on the back burner. They turned out even better than I expected and they were… Continue reading Airship Christmas Ornaments
18 inch Victorian steampunk airship #1
13 Dec This is the first of a new mid-range sized airship I started which is about 18″ long. This particular airship has a Victorian aesthetic, with a ship-like gondola, suspended with netting and cable. The propeller is a frame and sailcloth style, rather than a solid style. 18″ Victorian Steampunk Airship From the bow,… Continue reading 18 inch Victorian steampunk airship #1
Airship Anastasia!
17 Nov Usually I build a larger airship. At least larger in the sculpture sense…something in the neighborhood of 5 feet long, or so. In a room that is larger or when placed in a dedicated display area, they’re fantastic and formidable. In a small area though, they can be a bit tight. This project,… Continue reading Airship Anastasia!
The “Hot Rod” Airship
The “Hot Rod” Airship 16 Nov A steampunk airship can take on many personalities and styles. I say this because steampunk itself embraces many sub-genres and styles and is very often blatantly anachronistic. The steampunk airships I have built have ranged in style from more classic Victorian to Grunge, and from Angry Warship to cannon-lined… Continue reading The “Hot Rod” Airship
Airship Zeppo flies in Sarasota
Airship Zeppo flies in Sarasota 30 Oct I recently finished a commissioned airship order for a nice lady in Sarasota, Florida. She had seen the website and wanted to order an airship for her husband’s birthday. She liked the Victorian airship I had done that was purchased by my friends at Legendary Escapes, (home of… Continue reading Airship Zeppo flies in Sarasota
