Steampunk has until now been a mainstay of craft fairs and destinations like eBay and Etsy, but today the New York Times fashion and style sections has a nice article on the influence of Steampunk on the latest fashion trend.

Artist Jason Polan is attempting to draw every single person in New York City, USA. A crazy idea since there are 8 million peeps living and working in New York, so If he draws 1000 people a day, he can complete the job in 22 years, also it only works if exactly the same 8 million peeps stay in New York for those 22 years and they all happen to walk pass the Taco Bell on 14th street while he is drawing. I just love crazy artists doing the impossible.
