Oh, I'd love to get my hands on this Italian issue of Vogue, January, 2020! NO PHOTOGRAPHS!!! The entire issue, probably not counting the advertisements, are of ILLUSTRATIONS!!! AKA drawings, sketches, paintings...by people. According to the Italian Vogue Editor, the issue is to protest the environmental costs of taking fashion photographs. It's quite a staggering list in the brief article. The magazine knows that they have to use photographs...this is a "statement" magazine, much like the Art Basel Miami banana. The money saved is marked for charity. We can argue that photography IS an art form...but since when have magazines used primarily drawings to show fashion? Since 1960s? 1950s? I wonder if the USA issue would consider doing something like this? Learn more about it by clicking on this sentence.  Sketches of deer heads in my last almost finished sketchbook. I do plan on adding photographs to my sketchbooks...but until then...drawings are fun! ©2019
