October Exhibition: The Big City Is Here!

October's collection of art and fiction is up now at the Athena Exhibition forum. Go give it the hairy eyeball, already!

Our theme was "The Big City." An icon of Dieselpunk, the big city is where it's at. Where the happenings...happen.

And now that we've whetted your appetite for Diesel art and fiction and media...crack those knuckles and start thinking about November. In November, many of us writers like to participate in NaNoWriMo - National Novel Writing Month, where we do crazy things like try to pound out 50,000 words of story in 30 days. If you're looking for a topic for this year's NaNo, look no further than "Welcome to the Machine" - November's topic. No great run of prosperity comes without the work that makes it happen, and to the Diesel era, that meant machines--great, huge, oily, wondrous
machines, ushering in a new age of...what? Is it progress, or will our
humanity be ground into dust in the same gears and cogs that elevate us?

How the Exhibition Works

Each Expo features a specific theme related to the Dieselpunk ethos and aesthetic. Create your masterworks of art, fiction, nonfiction, photography or other media (we welcome music, film, cosplay, video--anything you can display on a computer in some way!) for that theme.
