Here’s Bodies in Space number 8: Boiling Blood.

Liquids on the surface of her body will vaporize when exposed to the vacuum of space. Her skin, however, is sufficient to maintain her internal pressure, preventing any blood within her vascular system from boiling.

Your blood doesn’t boil in space, so cross that off your list of worries.

Manos: The Hands of Fate. Anyone remember this movie? If you do, it’s probably from MST3K. It’s generally regarded as one of the worst films ever made. I made this poster for the restoration project to remaster and re-release the film in HD. Here’s an NPR article, the Facebook page, and the official site.

Bodies in Space: Phase Change

The boiling point of a given liquid is determined by both temperature and pressure. In the absence of atmospheric pressure, any surface liquids on her body (saliva on her tongue, sweat, moisture on her eyes, etc) boils instantly, without the addition of heat. The resulting vapor immediately desublimates into fine crystals.

Another constellation picture. Draco, this time.

It works like Magic Eye pictures: Cross your eyes and focus on the middle one to see in 3D!

Finally have something I can post again! I picked up an antique stereoscope, so I wanted to make a 3D illustration for it. It works without the stereoscope, too, just like a Magic Eye: cross your eyes and focus on the picture in the middle.

It’s the constellation Orion from a different perspective. Plus a naked dude. His name is Orionman.

Ok! One more body in space before I have to work on other things for a bit. This one is about how exposure to space causes swelling of the tissues, leading to bruising.

Thought I’d post the pencils for the new one before I get to inking tonight.

Bodies in Space: Cyanosis

The sketch for the illustration I’m working on atm. I hope everyone likes the butt of a man!
