Eyes. They’re the windows to someone’s soul. They also look really cool when shot in an extreme close-up. For this week’s Shooting Challenge, capture eyes. Well, eye. More »

I’m not sure that I could bring myself to pull out a knife and start slicing into this gory skinless human head cake, but it’s still pretty awesome.
It was made by the guys over at Conjurer’s Kitchen, and offers a disturbing amount of anatomical detail. It looks like one of those “visible human” models I used to build when I was a kid, showing off all its muscle and blood vessels after its skin was peeled back. Delicious.
This gruesome, handpainted dessert was actually based on an old anatomical wax mold from the late 18th century. You can check out more pics of this disturbing, yet amazing cake over on the Conjurer’s Kitchen Facebook page. There’s no word on what the insides look like, but if I wouldn’t be surprised to find edible grey matter and blood.

These rugs, which depict the five senses of touch, smell, sight, taste and hearing, seem to leap out as three-dimensional shapes as you look at them. Weirdly, though, they are in fact perfectly flat. More »

Koen Hauser gave his subjects the anatomical treatment and his human models couldn’t look any creepier. Now it’s Barbie’s turn.
In the eyes of many kids (mostly girls), she’s the perfect doll. She’s pretty, she’s sexy, and she’s got a hunky boyfriend named Ken. And she’s “human” too – well, sort of.
She won’t come to life, but artist Jason Freeny shows everyone that she’s got a skeleton and intestines just like you and I do. But is it just me, or is anatomical Barbie still prettier than the average anatomical human?
This hand-sculpted model of Barbie with her insides showing on one side is Freeny’s latest handiwork and it looks pretty awesome, don’t you think? Prints available in his shop.

I’m sure you’ve seen anatomical models of the different human systems when you took biology in high school. There’s the good, old skeletal system and of course, the muscular system.
Maybe Koen Hauser had these lessons in mind when he came up with his recent series, because they’re creative, different, and probably all anatomically correct.
Dubbed the ‘Modische Atlas der Anatomie’ or the ‘Fashionable Atlas of Anatomy’ when translated, the series features digital manipulations that literally strip the skin off of the models to reveal the organs and muscles underneath.
The images exude contrasting elements, with models posing in a relaxed manner while their bones and tendons are revealed in the same image.
Even more impressive is the fact that he came up with this series and published it over a decade ago.
With this series, Koen was able to masterfully and artistically combine both science and art into one neat package.
