Weston Price Trompe L'oeil- gouache




This piece is inspired by Dr. Weston Price's travels to New Zealand. He found that the Maori living on their traditional diet were in particularly excellent health (only 1 in 2,000 teeth showing signs of decay, and no dental deformities). The diet was heavily based on shellfish and dried seaweed. The map and photographs are from his book, "Nutrition and Physical Degeneration".

  1. Another amazing picture-BUT how did you do it? We can't work out if you have painted any of the components or if they are photo shopped in.Whatever the method We like the end result. Joey(Still the best)
