These amusing photographs are by Mark Leek. They show miniature people (as would be used for a model railway) creatively positioned on logs and bricks. I like how the selective focus and interesting textures allow the simple materials to effectively portray An Afternoon in the Outback. Leek himself is not from the Outback, but rather from the Netherlands.
Sasha Vinogradova has chosen an interesting medium to showcase the different styles of Russian folk painting – Skulls! I didn’t know such distinct styles existed – but here they are: Khokloma, Gzhel, North Dvina, Zhostovo, Mezen and Gorodets, and they’re truly remarkable. This Skull Art is actually a poster series, and is available to buy from her website.
