A stunning, 19th century booklet on human anatomy, The Human Body was written by Owen Lankester of Upper Wimple Street, London. The preface describes his efforts with this book... "Feeling as I do the fact, that as an objet once seen teaches more than the same object thrice described, I have been induced to prepare the letterpress to accompany the "MANNIKIN" act the end of this little volume. The "MANNIKIN" shows better than any words, the precision position and relative size of the various organs of the human body, and will, I am sure, be found a most useful aid to beginners, and in some cases to Students at a more advanced stage." This "little volume" is 130 years old and shows its age. The pages are yellowed, chipped, and fragile, and the binding has fallen apart. But the art, in all its scientific creepiness, is so worth a look! We've tried to capture the vibe of the book in our photos so be sure to flip through them. And as for the "mannikin" the author references in the preface, when you get to the back cover, there is an interactive diagram of the human body. Different organs are layered on top of each other. Open them like pages of a book, and you'll see more anatomical mysteries revealed. Note: three pieces of the mannikin have detached but where paper-clipped to the book. We believe the rest of the pieces are there, but can't guarantee. A wonderful gift for anyone interested in the history of science, anatomy, or 19th century art, it would make a great conversation piece around Halloween, or even better, frame the pages for a stunning art statement.

This is my newest piece that I just finished for Running with Paintbrushes. I wanted to show a robot doing something that has no purpose and that it wouldn't really understand. So this is Murderbot, and he is flying a kite since he is done with his murdering. I also wanted to do a complimentary color palette. It's been a while since I've done that. I feel like it definitely forced me to be more bold with my color choices. Murderbot Takes a Holiday, 8.25" x 11", Oil on Paper on Masonite, 2011.
