Med Legal Poster – zygomatic fracture
Update to portfolio – a hypothetical medlegal poster, designed for the plaintiff who is suing his attacker. The story is that this unfortunate fellow suffered a nasty punch to the face, giving him a multi-fractured zygoma that needed a complex surgery, complete with metal plates.
Medium: pencil, photoshop.
New look, new philosophy
The summer semester is over, and we’re digging into the fall. I’m changing the focus of this blog – instead of covering news and other inspirational biologically related art, the posts will primarily be portfolio and personal artwork updates — after all, the career I’m diving into is about making art, not writing and reporting about it.
Nevertheles, I love looking into what other artists and designers are doing – constantly feeding yourself imagery helps a lot in fueling your own creative tank- , and through my Twitter account (michelle_reinke) I’ll be sharing all the noteworthy artists, work, and scientific news I come across. Feel free to add me!
Below is the latest portfolio update – a work from this summer on cerebrospinal fluid and it’s associated anatomy and histology. Shown is the brain, ventricles, cisterns and areas of flow around the brain, and closeups of choroid plexus and arachnoid granulations.
Updated Portfolio
As per the end of the semester tradition, the online portfolio is now updated!
