I saw this done with TMBG John and John (I can't find the original post :c ), so I thought I would make it with The Spine.

I too am a Walter Robotics automaton

Because I too:

Glitch when I speak

Break down at inopportune times

Cannot walk like a normal human being

Have joints that make unnatural sounds every time I move

[thefroggypond]

some dumb idiot things i made long ago i’d like to relay to the masses

[lex-econ]

[thefroggypond]

spg pals

i’d like to ask a question bc i’m nosy like that

what was the first spg song you heard, and then what was the song that finally got you hooked on the band ??

for me i heard honeybee and was like yeah ok this is good. then i didn’t think about them ever for literal years. then a while later i listened to hatch fever bc a couple pals wanted me to and fell in love with the band and now they’re everything to me

Rarely Seen Steam Powered Giraffe Images with Bunny Part 1

Tumblr. Hi. For old times sake I thought I’d take you on a tour of hard-to-find images from earlier in our career. I created the art and posters you see here back in my 20s. Feel free to use them, these aren’t super secret, just not easily found online! Shall we begin our tour? yay!

Circa 2008- I believe this was intended as a t-shirt design, because we had some weebs early on in our Balboa Park Days, and I remember a fan asking for me to draw the bots in chibi style. It never became a shirt, but it did live on Myspace or maybe Facebook for a hot second. I don’t know why we all have little animal mascots, but at the time it felt right.

Circa 2011/2012 - Some art I did around our time at the zoo. Jon has human fingers because at the time he was the only one to wear cut off gloves that didn’t hide his skin.

Circa 2012- Part of a facebook/Tumblr promotional series of images detailing the fictional history of Steam Powered Giraffe, including this modified 80s ad. It lead to the reveal of Hatchworth with a bunch of opening doors that took like a week to get through.

Circa 2010? - You can still make your own Steam Powered Giraffe and level it up and gain hats. It’s a little mini game David programmed and I did art for. Few people have seen this advertisement I think- we only put it out there once. Anyway, the unfinished addon for this game including shooting the copper african elephants finally. Somewhere we have the concept exe I made. It just didn’t warrant getting finished due to the immense time involved and the tiny user base, but was a fun project to imagine.

Circa 2010 - The first Cavalcadium Logo. We had presidents, vice presidents and a lot of fan organization early on. It was very community driven, and we came up with The Cavalcadium to canonically include all our fans characters. The bug Cavalcadium created with its hidden lore, maps of the worlds, forum community, the giraffe pets, and the strong encouragement for fan creation helped grow our community. The fan club was dissolved eventually, but the internet community has not! The fandom has grown bigger than we ever could of imagined, and you don’t have to look far to see the wonderful work our talented audience creates!

Circa 2011 - The original cover for Globe of Yesterday’s Tomorrow- it was a gap-filling album we made because we started blowing up at the San Diego Zoo and wanted to tie people over for the promised release of Album 2, the Two-Cent Show.

Circa 2008 - The first Steam Powered Giraffe show, set at the 1956 Plifterston, New Pennsyltucky World’s Fair. It was an acoustic show featuring actors, plot, and generally was well received! It was also the first time we met the Beciles.

Circa 2011 - Teaser image for the internet of Our themed Halloween show for “The Ecto-Zeppelin.” We really got into stories and themes at our shows- set dressing, lighting ambience…this night featured a nice little radio play introduction of the history of the zeppelin. Fun show.

Circa 2011 - I’ve always wanted to make a Captain Albert comic. He’s my favorite SPG hero. This was some development art. There’s more, including a cabin girl sidekick whose hair is controlled by the ghosts of her parents, a wooden robot predating Walter’s, and a sentient ship made from a living blood-drinking tree. Hasn’t seen the light of day, so none of its cannon currently. Involved an Odyssey-like story where we see Captain teaming up with Pirates begrudgingly, witches with keys for fingers, and a ton of crazy monsters and stuff because weird shit is my jam.

Circa 2012 - Just a doodle I did. People always wondered why I didn’t capture my likeness here and it became evident my body dysphoria was really bad. I always drew Rabbit like a monster even though lots of people thought he was sexy in person. Slowly building confidence and patience and I transitioned a few years later. Rabbit is drawn a lot cuter these days, but not always.

2011 - Another show we did, this one has the theme of an interdimensional traveling circus run by Uncle Ralphie, the offspring of a clown and a mime. He was actually one of the characters along with GG I was working on to aim more at kids. But Uncle Ralphie is just fucking terrifying.

Circa 2008 - Unused Rabbit T-Shirt Art. Always thought it looked like you’d see it at a Hot Topic.

Circa 2012 - First drawing I did of the 1896 versions of the bots during the war. This is the only Jon we’ve seen like this! That’s all for now. I hope you enjoyed this trip down memory lane into my archives. Stay safe out there. And Fuck Fascism -Bunny
