It's just an idea, but this is completely serious - and I'm really counting on your imput.

Here it is: I'm considering publishing an album with reference material for various artists and others who appreciate weird forms, textures and shapes, if only on an abstract level. In part it would be a photographic anatomy atlas of arthropods, featuring closeups of body parts from multiple angles. There would be also plenty of "action shots", showing natural behavior of the animals.

The pictures would be given some commentary - just a few facts about the animal in question. I think it would help to develop some connection with them (not to mention the educational values).

I would include a DVD (maybe only in a hardback edition ) with turnarounds and full-resolution closeups and textures for 3D graphics and such. If I manage to lay my hands on a good camcorder, it would also feature short movies showing the bugs in motion.

Tell me what you think of the idea - is the target group large enough to make the publication worthwhile? Would it be useful at all?

I'll be submitting some samples here from time to time, and I'm looking forward to your critique.

Next step would be finding the publisher - I have no idea how to approach this problem. If you have any experience in that (and think that the venture would make sense), please share with me!

I'll be grateful for any advices.

Have a nice day.
