Bo from New Professional PT snapped this photo on his phone for me in a New York City subway station. Very nice design and skull illustration.

Here’s a clearer view of the poster.

Thanks Bo!

Disco Skull is in the House

Can’t say that I’ve ever heard of Boys Noize before, but I do love the disco skull on the cover of their album, Oi Oi Oi. Very Damien Hirst, sans the million dollar price tag.

Thanks to Katie Hovany for the link.

Tattoo Artist with a Passion for Anatomy

Anji Marth started off wanting to be an anatomical illustrator, but ended up drawing on people’s anatomies instead. She’s been tattooing professionally for 11 years now and does a lot of anatomy inspired work. So if you’re looking to get an anatomical tattoo, Anji’s got the background to do it.

Take a look through her blog and her portfolio for more tattoos.

Modality Brings Anatomy to the iPhone

Finally! A way to study anatomy on-the-go without having to carry around cumbersome flashcards. Modality, a company dedicated to making educational content portable, has transformed one of the best anatomy education resources, Netter’s Anatomy Flashcards, into a portable interactive application for the iPhone and iPod Touch. I’ll definitely be testing this out when it’s released in July.

[From Modality]

Coming to the App Store July 2008.

Using outstanding anatomical illustrations from Netter’s hugely popular Atlas of Human Anatomy (4th Edition), Netter’s Anatomy allows you to carry the bestselling reference for human anatomy on your iPhone or iPod touch. Navigate through images with the flick of a finger, pinch to zoom, and tap to test your knowledge of muscles, bones, vessels, viscera and the joints. Use study mode to explore images at your own pace and quiz mode to test yourself on what you know.

The concise text reviews areas of origin, insertion, action, innervation, and anatomical relevance. The notes also include clinical correlations, where appropriate. A regional organization parallels Netter’s atlas as well as most of today’s anatomy courses.

Additional features include:

• Customize your study set by adding and removing images.
• Toggle pins on and off to explore detailed illustrations with or without annotation.
• All content is locally stored on your device for anytime, anywhere access.
• Instantly look up structures in Wikipedia (requires network connection).

Netter’s Anatomy contains over 300 fully-annotated images.
