Juan Gatti

Born in Buenos Aires in 1950, artist Juan Gatti has produced a mouthwatering range of anatomic collages from the “Ciencias Naturales” exhibiton.
The sheer detail of the flora and fauna drenched with colour and an animal prop entwined with the muscle man reminds me of a cross between Vesalius and William Morris! I urge you to look at more of his work here and the bio of the man here.
Casualty Simulation – WARNING: Graphic Reconstruction Imagery
May 25th, 2012 § Leave a Comment
It never ceases to amaze me, the amount of weird anatomical stuff people create these days. Fortunately, you can rest assured these horrific looking mannequins are by specialist prop-maker BJ Winslow and wife Eileen Winslow for the Hollywood crime dramas. I’ve chosen just a few (the least offensive believe it or not!), but there are plenty more on their Casualty Simulation website (if you’ve got a strong stomach).

Liverpool illustrator Stuart Morris is building up his portfolio in the hope to become a freelance illustrator. In his musculature drawings, you can how he’s working it all out, which is a nice scientific approach to illustration.

Señor Salme

I love the colour palate that Señor Salme uses, and I wish I could speak spanish to work out what his influences are (as written on his Flickr site), I can just work out ‘Pet Shop Boys’ which seems bizarre! Above are; Rayos equis, the top one of which is available on Society 6.
Crea Fx Hyperrealistic Sculptures
May 21st, 2012 § Leave a Comment
I’ve always been stunned by Hyperrealistic silicon/latex sculptures. After doing some work experinence in the Prosthetics department of a Cambridge’s Addenbrookes hospital once, I got to earn massive respect for the time cosuming skill it takes to produce something that looks so life-like. The mulitiple colour pigments that make up skin flesh, adding fibres to look like capillaries to the silicon, and punching each individual hair in one by one.
Great artists such as Ron Mueck and specila effects houses such as the Jim Henson Legacy have turned this skill into an art form in itself.
Italian special effects house, Crea Fx have created a range of anatomical studies based on leonardo Da Vinci’s drawings. Take a look at their whole collection on their website.

The graphic style of Spanish illustrator Daniel Caballero is captivating. He deals with some pretty dark issues in some of his artwork, check out his work on his Flickr site.
If you like his work, you may like Stuntkid’s work.
