These anatomical teeshirts are just a few of the many from Wataru Yoshida‘s collection. He is an illustration and graphic design major at Tama Art University and has a great eye for detail.  Check out this link that describes these teeshirts in more detail.

The motive for the series of illustrations, “Body”, is to show the complex and interesting structure of the human body. When incorporating the concept of humans as a theme, we come to see the body’s physical features as more intriguing than the psychological. The drawings were made with very fine lines, matching the minute tissues of our bodies. Each illustration required a lot of time as it evolved. As every drawing began, Wataru followed his inspiration and instinct, allowing the design to emerge during his creative process.

And if you like these, there’s also a cool series of illustrations on his site called  Composition of Mammals!

The name says it all folks. Enjoy!

Cool-looking ad for Pepsi Max by Victor Sokolov!  This was 1 of 3 posters created and placed in high schools all over Russia.  The campaign picked up the Silver Epica award (2010) as well.  The copy reads, Don’t let anatomy put you to sleep.

Kevin Tong’s 18×24 print, “My Tetris Heart Longs For Your Push” will be on display as part of Gallery 1988‘s video game themed show, “Multiplayer”. Gallery 1988 is located in Venice, CA and the show opens January 15. Prints will be sold exclusively there and this particular piece is limited to 100 prints.

Tong says about the piece: Finally, I have combined girls AND Tetris.

I have to say, this may be one of the most beautiful renditions of a human heart I have seen.

For your Monday morning, I bring you, children, x-rays, and clubbing skeletons. Yet another crazy style added to the repertoire of Chemical Brothers music videos.  Who remembers the genius of the Star Guitar video?

Louis Mantin was an aesthete and gentleman of leisure who bequeathed his opulent home to the town of Moulins on condition that a century later it be a museum.

After he died in 1905, the mansion was closed up and fell into dilapidation. Now...it has been returned to its original pristine state.

The result is a remarkable time-capsule, combining rich fin-de-siecle furnishings, archaeological curios, skulls and other Masonic paraphernalia, a collection of stuffed birds, as well as the latest domestic gadgets such as electricity and a flushing loo.

19th Century aesthete and gentleman of leisure Louis Mantin willed his mansion--complete with a private museum of art, archaeological and natural historical specimens--to the people of Moulins, to be opened as a museum 100 years after his death. Now, 106 years after his death in 1905--and after a 3.5m euro refit funded by local authorities--the home of this real life Des Esseintes been returned to its original pristine state and is, per Monsieur Mantin's wishes, open to the public.

"In the will," explains Maud Leyoudec, assistant curator of the collection, Mantin "says that he wants the people of Moulins in 100 years time to be able to see what was the life of a cultured gentleman of his day. A bachelor with no children, he was obsessed with death and the passage of time. It was his way of becoming eternal."
