Hello guys ! :wave:

Remember TASCHEN's Circus book I told you about last year ?

Well, TASCHEN has just published a similar, amazing book about Magic. This impressive book (Hardcover, 29 x 44 cm (11.4 x 17.3 in.), 650 pages, 7 kg) was edited by Noel Daniel, the same woman who edited The Circus book.

Magic, 1400s - 1950s celebrates more than 500 years of the dazzling visual culture of the world's greatest magicians. Featuring more than 1,000 rarely seen vintage posters, photographs, handbills, and engravings as well as paintings by Hieronymus Bosch and Caravaggio among others, this 650-page volume traces the history of magic as a performing art from the 1400s to the 1950s.

Combining sensational images with incisive text, Magic explores the evolution of the magician’s craft, from medieval street performers to the brilliant stage magicians who gave rise to cinematic special effects; from the 19th century's Golden Age of Magic to groundbreaking daredevils like Houdini and the early 20th century's vaudevillians.

I was lucky to grab one copy, and took a few photographs for you to see the book's awesomeness :







:pointr: You can leaf through the book on Taschen's website ! :crazy:

:pointr: ...and order the book, too ;)

Happy holidays ! :santa: :heart:

Hi there :wave:

A quick update to let you know my portfolio has just reopened its doors! :w00t: :w00t:

Aenemya


Please check it out, I'm waiting for your feedback! ;)

I set up a brand new blog - in English! - where I will regularly post about new work, previews, WIPs, making-of's, photo/lomo, inspiration and geek & gear stuff.

If you wonder why Aenemya.com has been on hiatus for so long, here's an attempt of explanation...

I also gathered 5 wallpapers for you, that you can download for free by subscribing to my newsletter! ^^ And I put up a new link page which features all my favourite portfolios and artists around: check it out, too!

THERE IS ALSO NEW WORK IN THE GALLERY! :horns:

I hope you'll like the site :aww:

Best xx

I'm a sucker for redheads. Red-haired characters are often mysterious, even dangerous, as though their hair colour had a direct influence on their nature. May it be carrot orange, burning red or simply natural, the colour red certainly makes an impression.

So here's a feature with some deviantART's red muses, brought to you by yours truly ;)
