Going to the conventions, seeing the incredible amount of love that people put into their clothing, costumes, gadgetry, and art of all kinds, is a huge treat for me. Kaja Foglio Read Quote
From a person whose living depends on other people buying her creative work, this may sound odd, but one of my favorite things about the steampunk subculture is its do-it-yourself attitude. Kaja Foglio Read Quote
Steampunk is not a group of children in a classroom, sitting quietly while the teacher reads a story; it’s the kids at recess, playing a wild, endless game of pretend. Kaja Foglio Read Quote
Over the years, I’ve heard a lot of people who don’t feel that they have it in them to do anything creative. They shrug and claim that they ‘have no talent.’ They say things like, ‘Don’t quit your day job’ or ‘Leave it to the professionals.’ In the steampunk subculture, I don’t hear those things.
