Be Worth Looking At

I had the pleasure of attending silversark‘s Byzantium fashion show a few weeks ago, and one of her gorgeous designs ended up in my sketchbook. I finally got around to digitally colouring it! :-)

how flattering to have my work inspire other artists!

X-Ray and Anatomical Stained Glass Windows by Artist Wim Delvoye

In his ongoing series of Gothic works, initiated in 1999, Belgian artist  Wim Delvoye  about whose tattooed pigs I have blogged about in the past, created some very unusual stained-glass windows and sculptural works made of steel, lead, glass and actual x-ray.

For his “Chapel” series, Delvoye took x-rays of two friends performing sexual acts, then combined the x-rays with stained glass to fill the windows of a gothic-style chapel. Some of the windows simply look as though they are made of an abstract design, when upon closer inspection, one can see teeth, intestines, skulls and other anatomical features.

A young blonde girl was found perfectly preserved for 145 years

Construction workers found this 145-year-old lead and bronze coffin of a young blonde girl buried under a San Francisco home they were remodeling earlier this month. The casket’s two windows revealed the perfectly preserved skin and long blonde hair of the girl, who is believed to have died when she was three years old. You can read more about the story here.
