Timeline
In the Wired interview, Greg described Dr Grordbort's as "a parallel universe that uses the late 1800s through to the 1930s as a jumping off point" in terms of inspiration for the world.
In an interview with science fiction blog io9.com, Broadmore says his vision was to "satirize pulp fiction that spans the era from the 1890s to the 1940s".
Dr Grordbort's has been featured in other technology magazines including Wired magazine and Boing Boing.
The Sunday Star-Times feature writer Grant Smithies described the mural as "a sepia-tone illustration from an old Jules Verne novel, or perhaps a long-lost dream sequence from Fritz Lang's classic 1927 silent film, Metropolis".
Broadmore also designed a "cloning machine" for BATS Theatre, which featured as the main prop in a play called Gene Pool, his first theatrical collaboration.
