SO THERE'S THIS THING CALLED ANATOMY360.

The vimeo video page says:

Imagine having 1000s of life models on your desktop or your tablet, being able to change the lighting or viewing angle to anything you like, you will be able to change the angle whilst you sketch or sculpt turn the texture on and off to get a look at the underlying forms.

No more working from photographs or studying poor quality hand made 3D models This is 3D photography these are not sculptures or interpretations they are real people in real poses captured using 140 Canon DSLR's

Striking pictures of London commuters in alternative newspaper Urbis
// It's Nice That

Mark Sanders' latest photography project was inspired by L.S. Lowry's paintings of busy street scenes. Searching for a print format for his photographs of London commuters, he teamed up with former art director and designer of Mr Porter, Patrick Guilfoyle to present the project as a newspaper. Urbis is a nod to the free London papers, but rather than something to be left strewn on the tube, its beautiful images and quality paper stock make it feel like something to keep. Also unlike a typical newspaper, Urbis is virtually wordless so the photographs speak for themselves.

Yakovlev's Citroën Expeditions [feedly]

Yakovlev's Citroën Expeditions
// Gurney Journey

Alexander Yakovlev (1887-1938) Mirza Dolik

One of the works in the upcoming Sotheby's auction of Russian pictures is this portrait by Alexander Yakovlev.

Portrait of Mirza Dolik (detail)

The drawing is 20 x 14 inches, and it was drawn outdoors from life in 1931 using sanguine and pastel on paper. 


Alexander Yakovlev (also spelled Alexandre Iacovleff or Jacovleff) did the drawing as the official sketch artist of a motorized expedition across Asia.


The vehicle was a Citroën with a half-track in back. It drove across regions of the Asian continent that had no roads and very little petrol. Along the way the motor caravan overcame incredible obstacles, including warriors, mountain passes, and raging rivers.


Yakovlev was born and trained in Russia at the Imperial Academy of Arts under Kardovsky, and he lived later in France and America.

He was involved with two Citroën expeditions through Asia. The team traveled through Syria, Iran, Afghanistan, Mongolia and China. He also went on an expedition through Africa, crossing the Sahara to Equatorial Africa.


His portraits bear the intensity of the encounters between cultures unfamiliar with each other. In many regions, his lifelike portraits provoked awe, and the people seeing such drawings being made regarded him as a form of conjurer.

Alexander Yakovlev Salek Ibn Mohamed  sanguine and pastel on paper 29x21.5 in.

According to Sotheby's: "The clothes of the present sitter suggest that Salek Ibn Mahomed was a Baghdadi Kurd, a people whose proud and dignified air Yakovlev found very attractive and markedly different to the rather more simple appearance of the Kurdish nomads in the north. 'If I hadn't known that the Baghdadi Kurds who came to pose for me were just porters handling supplies for the expedition' Yakovlev wrote, 'I could easily have mistaken them for descendants of the princes of One Thousand and One Nights'"
