Melding photography and illustration, the Composition of Mammals series is a stunning set of artworks. Pretty much showing superimposing anatomy sketches directly on top of actual photos, the series is artistically textbook-like.
Created by Tokyo-based Wataru Yoshida, the Composition of Mammals series would make an interesting conversation-starter when hung in any space. It's no surprise that Yoshida was an Adobe Design Achievement Awards 2010 Illustration Finalist. He is currently studying design at the Tama Art University.
