I’ve had hair below my waist for most of my life. It’s become a trademark…an entity of sorts. I wonder if this is what would happen if I cut it all off.

I love Randy Mora’s digital collages.
A bit of anatomy, a bit of history, antiquated devices, textures…kitschy, classic, beautiful, macabre, surreal = SheWalksSoftly heaven!

I don’t know how they do it, but Who Killed Bambi frequently manages to post artists I love and have never seen. The latest to make an impression: EVERGRUNGE.
Explosive, chaotic, apocalyptic collages, packed with color and detail…
There’s a lot to digest in these images, so I suggest the full size versions on deviantart.

Morbid Anatomy recently led me to an incredible series of work by Swiss scholar Johann Jakob Scheuchzer.
Scheuchzer, a doctor and natural scientist from Zurich, planned the Physica sacra as an explanation of and a commentary on the Bible on natural-scientific grounds. He himself oversaw the illustrations which were largely based on his own natural history cabinet or on other famous European cabinets of rare specimens.
So much to take in…
You can see the whole amazing set on Flickr here.

Awww…the minds of the future flex their artistic muscles with some anatomy drawings!
I think this is a fantastic project. Personally, I learn better when I write, draw or make the experience tactile in some way (I predict handmade brain flashcards as I go through neuroscience studies this semester!).
I love seeing how young minds interpret and express scientific subject matter…

Apparently, this painting is actually on the wall in a dentist office to “put patients’ minds at ease.”
I am not remotely at ease after looking at this (check out that portrait in the back!). Tonight I’ll probably have nightmares of my teeth falling out (or trying to seduce each other).

Although I generally carry a plain black bag of some sort with me, I’d love to change it up occasionally with a B-Movie Bag.
Each one is hand painted by Scottish artist Julia Griffith.

Okay, okay…this has been going around the web quite a bit, but folks who don’t subscribe to hundreds of art blogs like I do might not have seen them.
Jonathan Koshi has a series of prints featuring pop culture icons in Day of the Dead fashion.
Favorite (of course):

I love Scott Holloway’s anatomical paintings and drawings so much that I recently used one of his pieces to make a pendant for myself (I will gladly direct people to his art if anyone comments on it).
His Realist paintings remind one of Renaissance work, while he takes artistic liberty with thematic explorations (currently he is working on a series that depicts holy relics and images in detailed anatomical form).

Oh boy…I’m very excited for what the Daily Superpower has in store.
Each day, an illustration of a new *unique* superpower is posted. Funny, absurd, not always desirable…
