Tom Giesler, an avid collector of anatomy books and drawings, has created a set of illustrations that are far from dull medical bland charts.
He wittily combines dull anatomical illustration styles with a fun and personal view of the human emotions such as surprise and spirit of sharing.
Giesler also needs your help for project Beloved Specimen, a gigantic effort to catalog sub-breadbox sized 'specimens' like toys and teddy bears from around the world. You can find out more about the project on his website.
