Steam Punk Mythology

As I search the web, I find many things, some I had know about [The Weta Rayguns], which are very keen in their own right. but also the convention held at the beginning of the month out in California [Which now also has a mention of the Steam Punk Art Challenge].  

I'm starting to lean toward a South American theme, before Europeans arrived.  Olmec would be fun, the mythology there is sparse anyway, leaving room for various interpretations.  The scale of some of their monoliths lends itself quite well to the Steam Punk theme. 

My notebook is starting to have lots of scribbles, doodles, and other scratchings that in a few years even I won't recognise. I think about scenes in my head all day at work, come home, and try to spill them out, without making a mess. Although sometimes the mess is a bit helpful, bringing together ideas in a way I hadn't previously thought.
