Eveline Kolijn: Mitochondria

A beautiful little etching by Eveline Kolijn that I picked up at Arts On Atlantic Gallery after lunch a couple of weeks ago. Apparently mitochondria owns me and resistance is futile.

More fun with Mitochondria: art by Arlee Barr

Mitochondria and Rammstein (oh yeah, it's in there)

Mitochondrial Freight Train

Funny thing is, the other 2 artists linked here also live in Calgary...there must be something in the water.

Human Child Glass Eyes for sale

On ebay. Along with a big box lot  of adult glass eyes, too.

The Golden Monkey

The taxidermy at the Harvard Museum of Natural History is fascinating stuff. It's old, it's lumpy, and it was made by people who obviously wanted to cheer things up a bit by adding odd grins and glass teddy bear eyes to the dead skin party. Most of the monkeys are screaming horrors (examples here and here). This one merely looks puzzled. He looks like he's thinking, well...how did I get here?
