In line with steampunk tradition, two unrelated worlds are often brought together: One from the past and one from the future. The old and the new. The traditional and the science fictional.

Just imagine bringing together the work of Hieronymus Bosch and Makoto Kobayashi.

In our case, we created an unlikely marriage between the haunting universe of Pieter Bruegel the Elder (or contemporaries) and the devastating pride of Japanese Mecha bots.

Pieter Bruegel the Elder: The Misanthrope
The Mechantony: After Martin Schongauer's The Temptation of Saint Anthony (1491).
