Into the great wide open

Most of our gnomepunk examples so far have come from fantasy genres - ROGs, MMOs, fantastic literature, and so forth. In everyday life, gnomes usually only appear in the garden variety - common outdoor tchotchke emblematic of a mainstream aesthetic, certainly not gnomepunk at all. But this week, we will move out of fantasy and into the Real World (such as it is) to check out some subversion of the garden gnome sensibility, in ways that are all at least a little bit punky.

Let's start with this gal:


How awesomely sweet, sexy, and steampunk all at the same time! (Get a load of those goggles!) And, of course, the conical hat and pointy ears mean that it's gnomepunk all the way.
