A recent project I worked on – a simple view of what makes up functional breast tissue – it’s certainly not all fat!

Here’s the anatomy ghosted beneath the skin:

New site!

Welcome to the new blog! I’ve officially moved from the aged microMACROart site.
Here I’ll continue to post works in progress, new techniques, articles of interest, etc in the field of medical illustration / biomedical visuals / medical media. Have a look around!

Paleoartist — Viktor Deak

Thursday, June 4th, 2009

I recommend looking at the work of Viktor Deak.  He works in yet another field that gracefully mixes the arts and science – paleoart.  Deak has an impressive ability to work with remains of bones, and build, sculpt, model, and eventually digitally paint convincing likenesses of humanity’s most recent ancestors.  Supporting this is a strong knowledge of anatomy and biology.  Essentially, he dissects in reverse.  For more information see a recent New York Times feature on Deak.  Also see this Hall of Human Origins at the American Museum of Natural History website.
