Viktor Deak in today’s NY Times
7:15 pm
I’m a bit of a sucker for “paleo-artist makes good” stories, and today’s New York Times has a great example in this profile of Viktor Deak, whose reconstructions of extinct hominids are on display at the American Museum of Natural History’s Hall of Human Origins. The story includes some nice multimedia details, including a video interview with Mr. Deak, a bit about him on today’s Science Podcast, and a panoramic tour of his studio that’s enough to give any paleophile serious workspace envy.
More of Viktor’s excellent reconstructions, in a variety of media, can be seen at his website: www.anatomicalorigins.com.
I went to the site and there was only 1 picture. I”d love to see more.
Were you the person who did the reconstruction of a man from a bog to look like Patrick Stewart?
It’s fascinating to imagine what our hominid ancestors might have looked like. I am enthralled particularly with Neanderthals.
Sincerely,
Ms. Billie M. Spaight
