Steampunk Whitby

An image based on my home town of Whitby (UK). We have a big Goth Festival two times a year with thousands descending on our little town to see the Abbey ruins and to visit the place that Bram Stoker wrote Dracula so this year I was asked to supply a few prints to go on display at a local cafe and thought it would be good to create an original image for the event, and this is it.

A Steampunk-esque world where Whitby Abbey retained it's central tower (it fell down during WW1) and said tower is being used to tether large airships in place ready for many blimp loving Victorians to embark on painfully slow journeys all around the world.
