Work in progress – eye cross section

Wednesday, July 7th, 2010

As the title suggests, this is a work in progresss. I did the ‘drawing’ and spline work for this a little bit ago, and now it’s just the fun painting of it to be done. There’s something really satisfying about figuring out and rendering all the fun anatomical details in the eye. Zonule fibers, ciliary body and processes, canal of Schlemm …. ! The eye is a bit like a world in itself.

Laparoscopic Cholecystectomy Illustration

Saturday, January 16th, 2010

Otherwise known as removing the gallbladder, this surgery is often performed in a particular demographic remembered by the 4 F’s: fat, fertile, fair, female.  Often there are stones that have complicated the health of the patient, and this cute little organ has to go!  Fortunately, like a lot of surgeries, this one can be done laparoscopically, with the patient in and out of the hospital (although not fully recovered) in a single day.
