The Carnivora Portraits, photographed by cross-disciplinary artist Jason Covert, derive their inspiration from the 2004 groundbreaking discovery in Siorapaluk, Greenland of a series of rocky substrate slabs (now commonly referred to as “The Sacred Texts of Carnivora”), bearing pre-cuneiform myth fragments indicative of a hitherto unknown Proto-Eskimo language and culture.

Daniel Maidman Sketches from the live nude at TheGreatNude Invitational

Daniel Maidman, one of TheGreatNude Invitational’s exhibiting artists, spent the weekend attending our drawing workshops with Sherry Camhy. Continuing his drawing marathon, Daniel joined our sketch party on Saturday night, and sketched from our two models that evening. We had a chance to ask Daniel some questions on his approach to drawing the figure.

Drawings by Daniel Maidman from the workshops at TheGreatNude Invitational are also available to view.
