Anatomical Disaster I

I have always been fascinated by the medical drawings and historical bio-medical illustrations or diagrams since I was little. They seemed to defy who we are, as we don't really see ourselves as such, all cut up and laying motionless on a operating table. Yet as I come across more and more of these intricate and detailed drawings, whether it be reflexological chart, acupuncture point diagrams, or a heart valve dissection drawing, I find them aesthetically pleasing to view.... If anyone is interested, check out this fabulous blog - Morbid Anatomy, you'll be surprisingly amazed and possibly entertained by the notion....

Hard Engine II

OK, this is the continuation from last night's post and inspiration. Yes, what else but the strewn pipes, tubes, mechanical things that surround us, as we are all too easily choked up by the modern technological inventions, gadgets, electronic devices, things, matters everywhere that we can't really seem to get away from. It would be nice if I have an extra room in my house totally devoid of things, just a plain white painted wall room for a quiet meditation. Unfortunately I don't, I am completely surrounded by years of accumulated memos, action figures, boxes, keep sakes, letters, old printer, scanner, devices that are now just gathering thick layer of dusts. Somehow by creating art, I can get away from this banal reality of cluttering all around me..... Well, OK, let's see what tomorrow will bring us. Good night readers.......

Hard Engine I

Anybody who lived through the 80's should have some sort of remembrance of one particular publication called the Omni Magazine. It was a fairly popular sci-fi/scientific/futuristic type of magazine that featured many talented artists of the time. I used to spent hours in the library reading and get inspired by the artworks that it featured. One striking artist that stuck in my mind all throughout the decades was that of Bob Venosa. His organic art was always ethereal, glassy with constant glowing translucent lights and emanating shapes of divine-like forms. I especially loved his particular piece called "Jutta II". So while trying to come up with an image this evening, I thought of Venosa's art and did a similar symmetrical one in my element of style. As you can see my love of compositional symmetry plus mechanical gadgets in combination of a ethereal feminine face is well exemplified here.
