Anton Marrast
Gifted Russian illustrator Anton Marrast recently finished few new artworks that illustrate Gabriel Garcia Marquez stories. What I prefer in Anton's works is a perfect sense of surreal art mixed with deep thoughts of a subject and polished with awesome skills in digital techniques. We follow Anton's works since old times and were really happy to collaborate with him for our iPad Mag Zero last year. We also featured Anton works at OFFF 2011 (pity we will miss OFFF 2012 that happens in next two weeks).
Original Prints, T-shirts and other goodies are available for purchase on Anton's online store http://society6.com/Marrast

Russian Empire in colour photos
You might seen the unique set of pioneer colour photos taken by Russian photographer Prokudin-Gorskii a century ago. Here is a new portion presented on BBC.
"This vivid colour photograph is 100 years old, a self-portrait by the Russian aristocrat Sergei Mikhailovich Prokudin-Gorskii, using a unique photographic technique he developed himself. Prokudin-Gorskii studied chemistry under Mendeleev, the inventor of the periodic table, before travelling to Berlin to study photochemistry.'
Prokudin-Gorskii took thousands of pictures between 1909-1912 as he toured the Russian empire, armed with a special pass from Tsar Nicholas II. He created a panorama of all the peoples, landscapes, industries and antiquities under Russian possession.
