I even offered to purchase one of the hangings. To no avail. Do they not understand my musthazness? BlueAnchor: YESYESYES! Body World’s exhibits are accompanied by stuff very much like this!

The stuff written about here has routinely gone out of its way to give proper credit in a common sense kinda way. Good blogs always try to do that and as a result ends up taking people deeper down the rabbit hole. The only issue I ever had was people wanting credit for the sake of validating their own taste. That just gets silly. The beauty of blogs is that people can write about the same topic but have totally unique perspectives on it. Also some never read more than a few blogs and at times never even know others may have covered similar territory. I barely have time to regularly read a handful...let alone the dozens to hundreds of quality ones out there. I've always like the fact you all pepper your articles with links to assorted sources, related media, or more detailed articles. If needed updates are even made to give even MORE credit...so I can't see how a better job could be done. As far as "saw it here first" while content may not always be first shown here it sure has been the first time many readers have been exposed to it. THAT ultimately has the most value regardless of who posted what where first in the blogsphere...or whoever mentioned it on Twitter first :P @Nadya & Mer… The stuff written about here has routinely gone out of its way to give proper credit in a common sense kinda way.

I've always found it fascinating to trace the trajectory of artwork from blog to blog. I doesn't surprise me at all that this work showed up in the Wurzelforum, on Hugo's blog and here at about the same time...all of you have such exquisite taste! :) Tequila/Skerror: The gestures make me think of Vesalius and his contemporaries. Perhaps that's what you're thinking of? It wasn't unusual for the subjects of anatomical illustrations from that time period (c.1500-ish) to gracefully peel away their skin for the viewer as if it was elegant clothing. Lovely work!

He posted it before me and before Wurzelod. Just a clarification. I don't think you should have dug more!

There's something right on the edge of my brain too and I'd really like to know what it is. I'm kinda sorta thinking the facial expressions and the paint strokes are a teency bit Frank Frazetta maybe??? Maybe??? @Tequila: “Still something is gnawing me that I’ve seen something similar but for the life of me can’t remember who did it…arrg!”
