Our review of the Belgian fantasy fair #Elftopia
It was already the third edition of Elftopia, but this was undoubtedly the one where the Belgian fantasy fair confirmed that it can compete with the big fantasy fairs of the Netherlands, most notably Elfia. (more…)
Comic Con Gent took place last weekend and was, once again, the annual place to be if you enjoy a smaller and less crowded popular culture convention that is very welcoming to steampunks and dieselpunks.
While it is a popular culture event in general, offering the usual fair of fandoms, cosplay, famous guests and delicious food (they really do have a good food variety!), Comic Con Gent always has a fair number of ‘punk visitors and stands catering to them.
Without further ado, here are the photos from another splendid edition!
Last Sunday was the very first edition of Japan Con at Park Loods Noord in Antwerp, Belgium.
As the name suggests, this convention’s focus was Japanese (popular) culture, but there was some steampunk! Here is a taste.
Japan Con is a really fun, relaxed and open-minded event, so if you want to go to the next edition in November (at Tour & Taxis in Brussels) on the 3rd and 4th and wear steampunk, go right ahead, it’ll be A-ok!

Possibly the best. There’s quite a few reasons that contributed to this conclusion, so stick around to find out what made this event awesome. (more…)
Event review: Comic Con Antwerp
Comic Con Antwerp What: pop-culture convention Where: Waagnatie, Antwerp, Belgium When: September 23 – 24 Comic Con Antwerp was probably the convention in Belgium that had the biggest shoes to fill. It’s not by the same team that used to organise the much missed Antwerp Convention, but it’s a good thing that there was a veteran organisation behind it, because people were looking at it as THE con…
Exhibit review: Once Upon A Time
Once Upon a Time Where: Cinquantenaire Museum, Etterbeek (Brussels), Belgium When: May 17 – September 17. Once Upon A Time at the Cinquantenaire Museum was probably THE clockpunk exhibit extraordinaire. For those not familiar with the term, it coins all manners steampunk style before the start of the late Regency, which is the starting era for steampunk (dieselpunk starts with the Roaring 20s and…
