Horse Legs for Humans - Kim Graham Trots Out Plans for Steampunk Satyr (VIDEO)
Kim Graham Trots Out Plans for Steampunk Satyr

Kim Graham’s Digitigrade leg extensions are just one of the many projects under this fine art sculptor’s belt. The steel contraptions add 14 inches of height to the wearer as well as the illusion of walking like a horse. 

These digitigrade leg extensions are part of an elaborate satyr costume project planned for October 2009 when a steampunk convention is scheduled for Seattle.

Level surfaces are easy. Sharp inclines are difficult and stairs are downright touchy. These can go out of doors for Renfairs and a day in the park. No, you cannot roller skate in them... It takes a person about 10 to 15 minutes to learn to comfortably walk in them. If you snowboard, it takes about 15 seconds... A brisk walk is best, running is very hard... I can wear these about 5 hours. We are working on an improvement that should allow 8 hours of comfortable wear... (kimgrahamstudios)

Awesome title, Katie! I kind of want to go to this steampunk convention, even if it'll be super nerdy. I wrote about last year's get-together...

I'd love to go to the convention too. I could take the train... it might make a fun day trip.

I am completely content with my human legs. I could go for some cheetah legs though.
