Digestive Aid

International-Vegetarian-UnionGorgeous veggie body poster by the International Vegetarian Union. Love them cauliflower lungs! Reminds us of illustrator Kyle Bean’s work, in the same vein of bodily vegetables, or Italian painter Giuseppe Arcimboldo. Created by JWT Kuwait. {via Boing Boing. Thanks, Russ!}

Chew Your Food

Posted: Thursday, October 29th, 2009

digestive-systemYour mom always tiold you not to swallow gum, and here’s another good reason to leave the sticky stuff out of your stomach — you can make fantastic art with it. Kevin Van Aelst has fashioned his chewed-up Bubble Yum and Trident into a wonderfully tiny digestive system, stuck it under a table, and took a photo. Take the time to check out his chromosomes fashioned from Gummi Worms and heart made from a pile of laundry. {via Boing Boing}

What a Pill

Posted: Wednesday, October 7th, 2009

Picture 1Taking your medicine isn’t exactly exciting, but with the introduction of Power Pill, a new iPhone game to be released later this year, it might be a tiny bit more fun. You are in charge of getting this pill through your guts, but if you bump into the stomach or intestines on the way, you destroy them (that’s one powerful pill, I say). The graphics are pretty darned cute, and we like the faux ad for the mysterious cure-all pill — called Medicil RX — which “goes in your mouth” for “relief of symptoms.” {via CreativeApplications.net. Thanks Dom!}

German artist and self-proclaimed nut  Christoph Brach serves up his commentary on human anatomy with help from a little bit of rubber and a whole lot of oxygen.  What an impressive set of guts!

Test For Humans

Picture 10Considering the fact that I look at internal organs all day long for a living, my score on the name all the internal organs in four minutes quiz is shamefully bad. I only got 15 out of 24 total organs, isn’t that pathetic? Granted, it was mainly because I didn’t really read the directions and forgot to pluralize things like parathyroids and ovaries (and jeez, who knew the esophagus would be included, but skin wouldn’t? And they rejected spelling gallbladder as one word. I say, look it up in the dictionary, bitches). Anyway, learn from my mistakes, pluralize,  and take the quiz. The clock does start ticking right away, so be ready to go when you click on the link and don’t dawdle like I did.

When Hearts Attack

Picture 5Our guts need to make friends with The Body Revolution, the only organized organs on the internet! Meet the Mighty Liver Leader or play the Super-Mario-esque body battle game with the War-Torn Heart — it’s a real brain teaser. They’ve got some cute webisodes about the dangers of binge drinking, but of course, the liver pretty much ignores all that. Hilarious.

la139_fWhy, oh why, don’t they make these for adults? I think that fabulous brain headband is set to sweep those lame metallic headbands worn by the likes of Paris Hilton aside in the world of fashion trendmaking. You heard it here first. Thanks to Julie W. for tipping me off to this fabulous gutsy apron by Lakeshore.

Shiny Sparkly Guts!

Posted: Wednesday, January 21st, 2009

new-guts-tees-2009We’ve got a couple of sparkly new tees coming in today, both with fabulous metallic inks, we hope you’ll like ‘em. The first, barely in time for Valentine’s Day, is a Heart of Gold tee, for ladies only. Quite possibly even more exciting is our new guts and glands shirt, which includes all the guts and glands characters — even testicles! For those of you really wanting to wear your prostate on your sleeve, this is the shirt for you. They are sorta arrayed where they are supposed to go, offering a mini-anatomy refresher when you need it.

the_breakfastTake a look at this amazing poster by Jeremyville, called “The Breakfast.” Sad little story, but sort of sweet, too.
