above image digitally composed by laura sweet


3DD (3 Double D) is a celebration of womens' boobs in three dimensions. Breast-lover and photographer Henry Hargreaves conceived of and photographed the 86 page book of 3D images of all sorts of breasts, which comes complete with a free pair of 3D glasses.



NSFW
The following images from the book are not suitable for those under the age of 18 and should also be considered NSFW (Not Safe For Work).









About the photographer (shown below in a childhood photo):
Henry Hargreaves is a New York based photographer and breast enthusiast. His love of taking photos and the female form started as a young boy in New Zealand and as an adult he has practiced both hobbies in many countries of the world. The opportunity to combine two of his greatest passions was only a matter of time.

Nicholas Galanin Paper Sculptures Inspire Dutch Book Week Ad Campaign Posters.




Advertising and marketing agencies are often inspired by fine art. Such is the case with Etcetera's wonderful promotional posters for Dutch Book Week.

A couple of blogs and design sites have featured the compelling ad campaign, but not all of them have entirely accurate information. The images were created entirely with CGI but were inspired by an artist who actually crafts similar three dimensional sculptures.

Each year, the Collective Promotion Dutch Literature (CPNB) organizes Dutch Book Week to promote Dutch literature and every year a specific genre is featured. This year the Book Week is featuring autobiographies, ‘GeschrevenPortretten’, which roughly translates into 'Written Portraits’.

Marketing agency, Etcetera, created the campaign which features CGI created posters of faces crafted from book pages representing the autobiographies of Anne Frank, Vincent van Gogh, Louis van Gaal and Kader Abdollah (writer of the biographic Book Week give away).

Souverein created the CGI artwork, because of time constraints, which was based on the work by artist Nicholas Galanin.

Nick Georgiou Turns The Printed Word Into Art. Old Books & Newspapers Become Sculpture.





Artist Nick Georgiou of Tuscon, Arizona puts old books and newspapers to good use by crafting them into three dimensional sculptures and ornately framed wall art. His human faces, flowers and animals made of rolled up newspapers and old book pages will have looking at that previously read paperback in a different light.

















"My art is inspired by the death of the printed word. Books and newspapers are becoming artifacts of the 21st century. As a society we're shifting away from print consumption and heading straight towards full digital lives. My sculptures are products of their environment —both literally and figuratively. As often as I can, I use local newspapers to add authenticity, and the form the sculpture takes is a reflection of the personal connection I feel to that particular city. From a day-to-day standpoint, I'm heavily influenced by my surroundings. These days, I draw inspiration from America's South West, and in particular Tucson, AZ--where I've lived and worked for almost two years. Going from NY to the desert is a pretty dramatic shift. Your concept of space expands when it's not obstructed by buildings. You pay closer attention to nature because you're always in it—and you do what you can to preserve it." -- Nick Georgiou
