		<title>Fimbriae painting</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I finished a fallopian tube fimbriae painting.  This one began as a typical anatomical study, but I let composition and such get the better of me, so that it became more abstract and less purely anatomical than others.  In the medical illustration world, it would be more of an editorial piece than anything.  Far too [...]]]></description>

		<title>3D Printed Inner Ear!</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I was thrilled today to receive the 3D printed forms of the inner ear model I worked on last semester!  Several months ago I had a vision of a lovely inner ear pendant, anatomically accurate and actual size.  And now I have at least the prototype, beta version &#8211;the size may need to be adjusted.  [...]]]></description>

		<title>Surgery Illustration Process</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I thought I&#8217;d show my working process in photoshop, starting with drawing and going toward finished illustration!
This portrays the pulling/dissecting up of the gallbaldder from the liver bed.  It&#8217;s actually kind of a bloody mess; it&#8217;s not like the gallbladder just sits and hangs out by the liver, it becomes tightly invested in it via [...]]]></description>

		<title>Laparoscopic Cholecystectomy Illustration</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Otherwise known as removing the gallbladder, this surgery is often performed in a particular demographic remembered by the 4 F&#8217;s: fat, fertile, fair, female.  Often there are stones that have complicated the health of the patient, and this cute little organ has to go!  Fortunately, like a lot of surgeries, this one can be done [...]]]></description>

		<title>Ear sketch</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Male left ear, graphite.  Well, to be precise it&#8217;s just the auricle.  The middle and inner ear can&#8217;t be seen.
Thanks, Chris Davis.

		<title>Heart painting</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Recently finished is a small study of the internal heart wall &#8211; specifically the trabeculae carneae formations that run rampid in both ventricles.  Their function?  Opinions seem to vary, but they probably aid in contraction and the prevention of too much suction, besides offering a lovely visual surprise when you first dissect a real heart.
For [...]]]></description>

		<title>Inner Ear in 3D</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I rendered out the vestibulocochlear model and threw it into VRWorx, a simple little program that doesn&#8217;t offer the best interactive features, but is great for simply displaying a model or virtual scene.

		<title>Sarcomere poster, nearly finished</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Happy thanksgiving all! Below is a poster about body tissues you probably weren&#8217;t using much today &#8211; skeletal muscle!
There was a final crit earlier this week on histology posters &#8211; I delved into the sarcomere and myofibril, the fun little network of contractile proteins within the muscle cell responsible for movement.  There are still adjustments [...]]]></description>

		<title>More vestibulo-cochlear apparati</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Here are more finished renders of the lovely vestibulocochlear apparatus, and it&#8217;s internal endolymph (paralymph not shown) fluid system.  Those black shadows c4d loves are harder to change than you&#8217;d think, even after messing with shadow and ambient occlusion colors.

		<title>Aria Painting</title>
		<description><![CDATA[This has been done for awhile, but I&#8217;ve only recently scanned it and comped it together in Photoshop.  Occasionally I feel like breaking away from the whole medical subject area, or anything representational.  I&#8217;m really interested in relationships between music and visual arts and love the concept of Kandinsky&#8217;s art and the series of nocturnes [...]]]></description>

		<title>Cochlea model in progress</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Below is a render of an in progress model.
I love really abstract pieces of anatomy like the vestibulocochlear apparatus!  They&#8217;re so fun to sculpt.  The end output will be a rotatable qtvr that shows labels, nerves, and the endolymph within the bony apparatus.
Next those black shadows need dampening&#8230;
