The biological structures on selfies by Juana Gómez

Juana Gomez embroiders the interior on photo's of the exterior of her body. Very interesting and beautiful.

The link to her website www.juanagomez.com/home doesn't work but I've found her on Instagram.

I want to learn crochet!!!!

I'm not very good at needlework. Never have been. At highschool I liked handicraft. But at the end of highschool I wanted to spend time reading and learning for my exam so I went to the needlework teacher (she had bad experiences with me) and made a deal. Every other week I would do her shopping for the class, the materials ... and she gave me a sufficient rating on my report card.

Until I saw the amigurumi's from a Dutch guy Dendennis who started crochet to relax. Awesome!

BTW, I've knitted a blanket ... with a 'little' help from a friend (thanks Esther). And I must say, it is relaxing. My problem was that I knitted the whole night because I wanted it to be finished.

Today I saw this life-sized crochet skeleton (anatomically correct) by Shanell Papp. This makes studying medicine much more fun.

The two best dutch anatomists of the 17th century hated each other

Rival anatomists Govert Bidloo and Frederick Ruysch had different ideas of how to depict a dead body. I like them both.

Read the story here.

Perfectly preserved corpses

I have visited Gunther von Hagens' Body Worlds twice. Once in the Beurs van Berlage in Amsterdam, years ago, and once in Rotterdam. At this moment it's in Amsterdam again. Surreal and a playground for medical students.

10 years ago Gunther von Hagens started The Plastinarium in Guben, Germany. Here, 40 different scientists are performing the art of plastination. Creepy and beautiful and intriguing at the same time.

Beautiful work by Chara from Athens. I especially like the illustrations with the circulatory systems.

Anatomical Art By Remy Nurse

Bodyworlds and Syndroms by artist Remy Nurse. She's specializes in illustrations of rare and obscure syndroms. I don't care what she specializes in, I like!

Muscle Tissue Weaving

Experimental fashion by Eliza Vlasova. Take the structure of muscle tissue and weave a fashion piece. Not a logical choice, but it looks awesome. Who would have guessed that you could create an anatomy correct structure with cloth weaving.

I would wear it.

Wax Medical Models

Very disturbing, but also very beautiful. Functional in the past. Turned into art. The 'Anatomical Venus'. I like.

"We Are Dead Stars"

WTF? Every atom in our body was fused in an ancient star?! I read the words but it's difficult to comprehend.

This video is a collaboration between The Atlantic and SoundVision Productions' The Really Big Questions.

The Human Body As A Canvas

This is art by Carine Paynaud, a sculptor, 'figure d'ecorche'. Anatomical drawings on models. I love it.

No, not as a figure of speech ... creepy! Slow motion eyes.

 

Dream Anatomy

A brief history on the art and science of anatomical illustration.

 

Anatomical Illustrations

"Jan Ladmiral (1698 - 1773) was a pupil and assistant to the great anatomical illustrator Jacob Christoph Le Blon (1670 - 1741). Afterward, Ladmiral, apparently, presumed ownership of Le Blon's secret invention for coloring mezzotint engravings, a process using three different impressions of primary colors (blue, yellow, and red) for one image and thus able to produce different color values without the use of black."
