Got out of anatomy class and was curious

-Discussing embalming with my 15 year old niece- Niece: If they take all the blood out the body then is it still heavy? Me: Well they're replacing it with embalming fluid so it's not going to make much difference and the blood isn't what makes a body heavy anyways Niece: O_o then what makes it heavy? Me: *without hesitation* the meat Niece:

Episode 104: H.H. Holmes & The Murder Castle, Part I Photodump

Image 01: H.H. Holmes (born “Henry Webster Mudgett”) was an American con artist and serial killer. He enjoyed human dissection for sport and funded his pursuits with body snatching. He would marry for money and had been engaged dozens of times. Image 02: Holmes had a knack for scamming and was the subject of more than 50 lawsuits in Chicago alone. Image 03-04: Holmes’s first wife, Clara Lovering, was the victim physical and emotional abuse. She was often seen with black eyes. She left Holmes due to the red flags and infant corpse dissection. Image 05: Holmes was inspired by his love for anatomy to go to Med school. Medical students with a cadaver during the 19th century. Cadavers were hard to obtain as dissection was seen as a fate worth than death itself. Image 06: Myrta Belknap, Holmes’s second wife was a Chicago socialite who was described as “plain looking.” Is being plain bad? Why is being plain considered an insult??? Image 07: With the help of his new wife’s parents, Holmes purchased a lot in Chicago and began building what would be known as “The Murder Castle.” Image 08-10: The Castle appeared to be a regular building; however, the second floor was full of trap doors and false walls. There were rooms that had no doors and doors that went to nothing. There were chutes that led to dissection rooms and corridors that circled back to the where they started from. It was a house of horrors.

When I was an art student, the neighboring medical school let the anatomy of art students in to draw cadavers, as part of a student trade where the plastic surgeons got to study aesthetics of beauty.

But we were told one important rule about drawing cadavers: you have to bring mints or gum or something to chew on while you do it.

The reason, according to our teacher, is that there’s an interesting psychological effect that happens when you’re smelling something a lot (in this case formaldehyde and dead meat) while focusing on details of it intently and working with your hands — you start getting a phantom sensation of tasting the thing you’re smelling.

And that’s how I went through a whole tin of Altoids while drawing an autopsied cadaver.

i think the hardest part about this job is not being able to say What The Fuck

God Dethroned - Cadavers

[sustainableyadayadayada]

being a book cover in the after life

Apparently, there are books out there bound with human skin. Of course, my mind having been poisoned by the sick minds in Hollywood, I immediately thought of serial killers. But apparently this is something doctors used to do occasionally with the skin of people who died of natural causes. It reminded me of the story about the doctor who kept Einstein’s eyes. It seems wrong by modern standards,…

OCtober day 5: relationships

Crow and her husbands Freddie and Erik.

I've never actually done a full drawing of the three of them together so this was a great prompt.

conclave and the terror sharing a director makes a lot of sense if you think about it bc they both occupy the same niche ..... bitchy workplace politics and miserable old men finding yaoi in some of the most awful inhospitable places on earth (the arctic) (the vatican)
