Medicine, art and design.

When people ask me what my career goal is I reply "a medical illustrator", only to receive a confused look. It's funny how we as humans categorize to the point where we can become narrow-minded. For example, most people will label themselves as a "science" or "arts" or "business" oriented person. I don't think of my interests and abilities in black and white, as a "science" or "art" oriented. Apparently to some, these lines do not cross. This is merely the accumulation of my thoughts and observations so if you think it's total bullocks please prove me wrong.

Maybe that's why a few people who asked what a medical illustrator seemed surprised that such a job actually existed. Or it's just not a well publicized career and a fairly new profession.

Good thing I found a blog that is dedicated to not only medical illustration, but the coverage of human anatomy in popular art and culture! It just makes me glad I'm not the only person who finds anatomy incredibly beautiful.

Sreet Anatomy was created to showcase the link between science and art in a way that is both practical and beautiful. I know there's artists out there in our kung fu family, so if you are one please check it out, because I think it's so darn neat. I'm not going to post a link because the content isn't appropriate for all ages.

Perhaps later this week I will post some of my artwork, seeing as adding to my portfolio is one of my UBBT requirements.

Peace.
