Nintendo Wii Anatomy Art Is Perfectly Twisted

Danny Allen — Thu, 10 Sep 2009 02:45:00 EDT

Created for a project that would encourage doctors to use the Wii for patient rehabilitation (even though they already are?), these illustrations are like something David Cronenberg would dream up, and remind me of those spooky Lego Minifig anatomy renders.

The illustrations were done by John Foester for artist Angela Moramarco. More pics at her site. [Angela Moramarco via WiiNoob] Thanks Jamie!

The Creepy Anatomy of a Lego Minifig: Now In 3D

Jesus Diaz — Fri, 07 Aug 2009 01:45:00 EDT

Remember the fascinating and spooky anatomy of the Lego Minifig? Well, it gets even more fascinating and spookier when it's animated in 3D, which is precisely what the original designer—Jason Freeny—did. [Moist Production via The Brothers Brick]

There's a Brick In Every Lego Collector, And It's Bigger Than Your Skull

Jack Loftus — Sun, 24 May 2009 11:00:00 EDT

Jason Freeny, the designer who brought us that amazing-yet-freaky minifig anatomy lesson last October, wants every Lego aficionado to know that there's a huge red brick inside all of you.

Seriously, this guy has cornered the market on freakishly cool Lego artwork. [Jason Freeny via Brothers Brick]

Spandex? Ewww. Anatomical Muscle Suit? Hot.

Mark Wilson — Fri, 20 Feb 2009 09:02:38 EST

Even the people who should be wearing spandex really shouldn't be wearing spandex, if you know what I mean. But a skin tight suit that depicts your inner muscle tissue? OK!

By Tomek Pietek, the Skin Muscle Suit digs deep below your gelatinous layers of skin, fat and creamy filling to find your inner beauty—namely your muscles. It then places said (alleged) muscles at the forefront of your appearance. Perfect for both bike rides and job interviews, we'd say the suit doesn't make the man, but in this case, it most definitely does. [Behance via BoingBoing]

The Anatomy of a Lego Minifig Is as Fascinating as It Is Spooky

Jesus Diaz — Wed, 15 Oct 2008 11:00:00 EDT

After killing and dissecting an endless amount of Lego minifigs, artist/designer/mad doctor Jason Freeny has created the definitive anatomy map of the iconic figure, showing all the details and naughty bigs that we weren't able to catch in our exclusive tour to the Lego Minifig factory in Denmark. Jason has plenty of experience on cutting apart other species too, like gummy bears and balloon animals:

Those two are amazing too, but last time I checked we didn't have Go Gummybear Go or Go Balloon Animal Go contests. We do have a Go Miniman Go contest, however.

If you want to participate and win one of the priceless classic vintage sets we are giving away. You only need to send your entry to us as soon as possible because the end of the month deadline is quickly approaching. Entries keep pouring in, but it's never too late. You still have 15 days to go.

If you want to participate, check the contest rules here and send your video now. [Jason Freeny via Geekologie]

We Always Wanted a Custom Eyeball Lamp

Mark Wilson — Mon, 28 Jul 2008 11:40:00 EDT

For those of you who've looked around their apartment and thought, "You know what this place needs? A lamp that's modeled after my eyeball!"—your day has finally come. 5.5 Designers will create your own custom hand-blown glass eye. You fill out their order form picking from various eye color swatches and including some pics of your peepers, and through the magic of creepy mail ordering, an anatomical illumination device will show at your door. But to be fair, seeing Murano-based Glassblower Livio Serena at work does make the whole thing seem a lot more "artsy" than "psycho-killery":

Contact 5.5 Designers for pricing and availability info. And please refrain from asking if they can reproduce certain other bodyparts. You'll embarrass us. Again. [5.5 Designers via IfIt'sHip and Shiny Shiny]
