Whoa now, these images are AWESOME! They were created by the design studio FARROW for the CD art of The Maniac Street Preachers album, Lifeblood, photography by John Ross. The images are totally stunning and, as mentioned on the Farrow site, were created by pouring buckets of fake blood all over a very dashing model, who was later taken out of the images in post production. That must have been an awesome/messy/fun photo shoot set! Be sure to check out both the Design firm and the photographers site for more images!

Looking for an excuse to get out to Coney Island this weekend? Curious about the art and history of medical museums? If you answered yes to one or both of these questions, why not come down to the Coney Island Museum this Sunday to see me pontificate on the wonders of medical museums as part of their "Ask the Experts" series?

Full details follow; hope to see you there!

Anatomical Venuses, The Slashed Beauty, and Fetuses Dancing a Jig: A Journey into the Curious World of the Medical Museum
Location: Coney Island Museum (208 Surf Ave. Brooklyn)
Time: 4:30 PM
Admission: $5

This afternoon's highly-illustrated lecture will introduce you to the the Medical Museum and its curious denizens, from the Anatomical Venus to the Slashed Beauty, the allegorical fetal skeleton tableau to the taxidermied bearded lady, the flayed horseman of the apocalypse to the three fetuses dancing a jig. The lecture will contextualize these artifacts by situating them within their historical context via a discussion of the history of medical modeling, a survey of the great artists of the genre, and an examination of the other death-related diversions which made up the cultural landscape at the time that these objects were originally created, collected, and exhibited.

Nice ad campaign by Asics that I’m sure many runners can relate to.  I like the use of the winding neurons and blood vessels, although one medical illustrator pointed out that the neurons aren’t 100% accurate, oops. Always consult a medical illustrator people, don’t let bad anatomy happen to you.

Love it!  Check out more of Andreas Scheiger’s work here.

Get the message out to the world that you’re deeply emotional but don’t really give-a-damn with this low v-neck anatomical heart shirt by Dark Cycle Clothing.   I love the texture and size of the heart!  They hand illustrated, digitally altered, and then screen printed it through a high mesh screen using metallic silver ink.  The shirt itself looks nice and soft too.  It’s a win win!

Available for $20.00 via Etsy.
