I hope you’re bolted in tightly, as we’re about to steam through 50 of the best Steampunk inspired t-shirt designs known to man, and robot (actually there are 55). If you’re new to Steampunk worry not, head on over to the Wikipedia entry and get acquainted with this Victorian Sci-fi wonderland of more than hot air, we’ll wait……
Before we start I should say that one mans Steampunk is another mans Cosplay, is another mans Cyberpunk, is another mans Tomato. So lets not get bogged down in semantics, we’re using “inspired” in a liberal, cop out kinda sense. Where they are from a POD manufacturer (as quite a lot are, this is a niche subculture after all) I’ve listed the base price, it might be more when you’ve customized it.
