671 // The lab / A Journey Through Light and Shadow

I just finished a small in-between project: A Journey Through Light and Shadow. Based on an artwork by Tang Yau Hoong who’s work is just brilliant. Have a look at his website for more details.
And by the way: I already got in touch with Yau Hoong and he really likes the animation a lot! Perfect!

670 // MSN1 / Neurocomic

An interesting project by comic artist Matteo Farinella who will collaborate with neuroscientist Dr. Hana Ros of University College London to create Neurocomic. I really like the website-design as well, so I quickly attached all the parts to one big overview-image:

“What are our brains made of? What happens in our brains when we think, feel, see, hear or touch?

Neurocomic will be a graphic novel that takes the reader on an exciting and visually captivating adventure through the brain, populated by quirky creatures and famous neuroscientists. Giant squid, talking sea slugs, mysterious trap doors, submarines, parachutes and underwater battles transport the reader on a fantasy journey that fascinates and helps them to understand how the brain works.

Neuroscience is receiving increasing public attention, as our society faces the complex problems of ageing diseases and mental disorders.

The medium of comics has repeatedly proved incredibly efficient as education material, for its clear yet informal approach. The authors aim to combine the two, to create a visually captivating adventure that shows how cells use electricity to communicate, how drugs work, and what happens during brain disorders. The graphic novel will be released in the UK in 2013, together with a short documentary by director Richard Wyllie, who is following the process of collaboration behind the book, in order to explore the interaction between science and drawing. The project is fully supported by a Wellcome Trust People Award.”

An amazing video by Jake Fried.

Hand-drawn animation with ink, gouache, white-out and coffee. … More at his website.

668 // MSN1 / Denis Duboit

Nice collages by Denis Dubois from Granville in France. Have a look at his website as there is much, much more to look at. But be aware: Some of his depictions are quite disturbing, but funny though.

667 // MSN1 / MEDinART

My work “Der Mensch als Indsutriepalast” is featured on the online platform MEDinART. There are quite a lot of interesting projects, so go ahead and have a look!

“MEDinART is an online place for artists around the world that communicate through their art aspects of biomedical sciences.
