Ben Lovett's new video features an airship and a baby dragon

Steampunk meets Sin City's visual style in the video by Soapbox Films for Ben Lovett's Eye of the Storm:

And here, director Christopher Alender and producer Kris Eber give an in-depth behind the scenes look (Lovett is the pilot and his scarf was puppeteered to simulate wind):

New Smog Miniatures

(Professionally painted) Smog miniatures are just the best. Here's the three newest:

Doctor Zeels:

"I have seen the future. It's already here, carrying with it death and destruction. No one but me can see it but They are among us already. And I must stop Them. I stole the Brazen Bulls of Babylon, I discovered the secrets of Angkor Vat, I probed the mysteries of Eleusis, the Aztec priests tried to rip off my heart and Thuggees hunted me down a hundred days and a hundred nights... I am in London now, facing Them. Mankind's future is at stake."

The Moonchild:

The Pit is a strange and disgusting place. The Freaks rule in there, each one more horrid than the other. Sometimes amid this inhumanity, a child is born with a singular and dangerous beauty, like a firedamp flower with an iron stem. The Freaks fear and worship this child, calling him “Moonchild”. A lost soul roaming near places filled with suffering, it is said that crossing his path brings a curse upon the seer for seven generations of mutants.

The Thumb:

The enemies of the Pit always make the same mistake, believing its members live in plain anarchy. The very existence of “The Thumb” and his ability to plan the attack on Buckingham Palace prove that nothing could be further from the truth. As “Underjudge”, he settles disputes on the Agora and rules the Whitechapel district. With his assistant Dolores Blackmoore, herself in charge of carrying out his ultimate sentences, he’s leading his crusade against tyranny with a fist of iron... So to speak.

Aviator Chair at Restoration Hardware

Aviator Chair at Restoration Hardware:

Drawing inspiration from World War II bomber planes, this chair's aerodynamic curves are hugged in riveted aluminum, while the seat and back are swathed in ribbed leather with the busted-down softness of a vintage bomber jacket. A low seat and raked back give it true flyboy swagger.

* Inspired by fighter planes, from its aluminum-wrapped curves to its padded leather seat and back
* Leather-clad wrap-around top rail
* Kiln-dried frame
* Distressed Whiskey leather has a supple broken-in hand and a burnished warmth
* Aluminum has a matte finish that's lightly distressed for a vintage look; some nicks are to be expected
* Plastic feet protect floors from scratching
* Dimensions: 28"W x 38"D x 28"H
* Weight: 100 lbs.

Tentacled lady by Doktor A

Bella Delamere, a new vinyl toy coming from Arts Unknown and Doktor A:

Discarded with the sump oil at a very early age, Bella was swept downstream until she found herself by the sea. She soon made friends with all forms of aquatic creatures and was taken in and raised by a family of Kraken (the smaller lesser spotted variety). Upon reaching adulthood she returned to the surface and emerged into society, remodelled after her adoptive kin folk. The tentacles do not raise many comments around town. But her insistence on always waring a mask certainly does. Much speculation is whispered about her true identity. And one day she will reveal her secret to the father who left her for dead...
