This image comes from the amazing Art Passions site. Try doing some self portraiture by sketching one of your archetypal characters in a mirror, or wander about with a film and photograph yourself in mirrors.

The Master of the Anthropomorphic, Boris Artzybasheff was known for human achines that commented wittily on the parallels between mechanical and human forms. Machines, like this amatueur photographer,



have heaps of attitude and could provide fuel for anthropomorphic poetry or prose.
