There’s something about Pac-Man that draws car owners to paste him all over their vehicles. This car might not have the gullwing doors have the last Pac car we posted about, but what it does have is an additional dose of Packy flair.
Everything down to the rims is adorned with Pac-love, and I’m simply loving the custom leather upholstery. This is one retro gaming-mobile I would not be embarrassed to rock around my town.
Built around a classic Nokia cellphone, this Steampunk Cellphone mod completes my universe.
Complete with a leather and metal finish, this Steampunk-infused phone is almost too cool for words. Almost.
These bandages take a page right from the book of Stryper, the most metal of metalest bands ever. Battle wounds are part of the metal world. When you have fans throwing broken beer bottles at the stage, it’s sort of difficult not to get a boo-boo every once in a while.
But what’s a metal guitarist to do? A simple old band aid won’t cut it. Hell, even duct tape bandages aren’t hardcore enough. These Leather Bandages should fit right in with your full-body pleather jumpsuit.
We’ve seen various other engine table designs strewn across the internet. Most are pretty much just a full-sized engine with a piece of glass glued to the top of it. Some call that awesome, we call it lazy. This design, though, is the classiest-styled permutation of an engine table that we’ve come across, inspired more from the days of hotrodding than the super sleekness of a modern V12 monster.
The hand-carved mahogany wood base and leather accents give this particular engine table a touch of the old Victorian flavor. In fact, if it weren’t for the subtly added vintage carburetor, brass knuckles and tattoo carvings, it’d be easy to imagine this table in your grandmother’s living room. This is assuming your grandmother is an illegal street racer. Be prepared to lay down around $2900 for this bad boy. Not too shabby when you discover its original price! Close-up after the jump.

Fashion is an expensive business I tend to avoid. For me, some denim jeans and a t-shirt from Macy’s will suffice. For others, fashion designers like Louis Vuitton, Gucci and Chanel provide outrageously priced and strangely designed fashion wear. A price some people are willing to pay just to get attention.
Louis Vuitton also makes custom one-of-a-kind cases for special clients. Correction, special clients who are loaded. For Chanel’s head designer Karl Lagerfeld, Vuitton has fashioned this iPod trunk made of black Taiga leather with brass fittings and a red microfiber interior. An interior case within the truck can hold 20 iPods and one power charger. We get it, Karl. You’re rich.
Remember in Pulp Fiction when Marsellus Wallace is getting fucked in the ass by a couple of rednecks? Of course you do, it’s most likely one of your favorite scenes. Well if you’d like to sport a style that resembles that of The Gimp’s, I’d have to recommend Kate Cusack’s zipper jewelry. From S&M-inspired necklaces to beautiful, chic bracelets, this is the kind of jewelry that you could wear to a nightclub and also use in your torture dungeon. It’s affordable too, with pins costing around $85 and necklaces priced in the $400 to $1000 range.
Talk about intricate craft! These steampunk goggles from Mike Brown are made with absolute precision, featuring leather bolted directly to the titanium eyepieces. 48 bolts are used to hold each lens in place. You can adjust the aperture in each eye to give you enhanced vision. Oh, and they’ll last for “500 years plus.” Quite possibly the finest work of steampunk eyewear to ever grace this planet.
Looks like NYC-based artist Rucyl Mills and I have a lot in common. We both love music and hacked M-Audio equipment for MIDI purposes. It’s wearable, it’s ugly and it’s ready to rock.
I built the elektro-07 so I could control the sonic and visual parameters of my live performances without having to look deep into the eye of my laptop, hunched over in computer music stance. I’m still learning how to play it.. Software wise, it runs a maxMSP/Jitter patch smoothly, connected to my laptop by a long usb cable. Major thanks to Luke DuBois. Originally it was named the Chakakhantroller after Chaka Khan… but you wouldn’t believe how many people don’t get the reference.. so I changed it to Elektro-07 after my newly launched label, Elektrocardio. Next version will be wireless, and yes… it’s made of black leather and snakeskin.
For $25, you really can’t go wrong with this wristwatch from some bullshit company. It has a unique sliding face that reveals six bullet heads when moved. It also has what looks like Lieutenant markings and a black leather strap. Kick ass? Of course, but you’re no Tugg Speedman.
