Kaiju Eiga

Attention all monster movie fanatics, Pink Tentacle has a great post displaying anatomical Kaiju Eiga drawings and posters!!! Kaiju Eiga is Japanese for “Monster Movie” and is the term used for just that, monster movies! The most famous of these Japanese monsters, or Kaiju, is Godzilla, of course. Other notables include: Mothra, Anguirus, Rodan, Gamera, and King Ghidorah and now you can see and learn all about their amazing abilities through these wonderfully creative anatomical drawings. Pink Tentacle offers up some nice explanations as to what exactly you are looking at in terms of fantastical organs.

Play With Me

I just stumbled upon this awesome piece by artist Antony Micallef, titled Play With Me. Apparently Brad and Angelina are collectors of his stuff, who knew. More of his work can be seen at his website: www.antonymicallef.com

Here is a wonderfully creative skull screen print by the artist Simon Dovar, done using a Print Gocco screen-printing system. This piece was done as part of the here shop & gallery 5th anniversary show: Even Dwarves Started Small.

For those curious as to what the Gocco system is, here is a brief description from the gallery’s flicker page:

For over 25 years, the Print Gocco screen-printing system has been used in Japan. The small plastic device is a self contained screen printing set-up, consisting of an exposure unit, pre-coated screens and inks. Originally marketed for making greeting cards and sold in toy stores, appreciation for the Gocco system has grown amongst artists who cannot afford, or don’t have the space for a traditional screen-printing equipment.

Linton Meagher: Medicine as Art

A medical practitioner and visual artist, Linton Meagher puts medicine directly into his art by using objects such as pills and scalpels as his medium of choice.  His work is beautiful and fluid from far, but up close it’s hard not to wince at the hundreds of sharp scalpel blades that make up his canvas.

Linton’s work explores the ways that objects, such as pills and scalpels, can be taken out of their usual context and presented in a way that challenges the viewer to question their wider meaning in society.

Medical objects are beautiful in their ability to heal but also deadly with misuse.  But they almost certainly make for interesting canvases.
