Soooooooo if you crack open one of your bones, and thoroughly clean it, and let it dry out for a while... this is the network of sponginess (formally known as trabeculae) that you'd find inside.
Don't believe me? Seriously. Try it.

Where/What: more bones in my room!
...if you're still wondering about that, we anatomy students get bone boxes, which are rickety wooden boxes with about 15 bones (plus a fully articulated hand and foot) so that we can handle the bones, examine all their bumps and grooves, y'know, get acquainted with 'em.

groovy. i'll give it a try and post. :)
and hey, the dandy warhols!
These medical abstracts of yours are really intriguing...art made from art.
It's interesting that something that should be so familiar to all of is so mysterious--I like an abstract that makes you think more about what it means than what it is.
RD- Lemme know which bone you decide to sacrifice. :)
Jon W- I'm pursuing medical illustration as a career right now, and most of what we're learning at the moment is the serious technical side of the art/science thing. But the right-brained side of this stuff is also pretty cool, and I'm glad you can appreciate it, too. :)
