Traveler series: Brain [whole]

Traveler series: Brain [whole], a photo by anklecemetery on Flickr.

I make anatomical diagrams on coffee travelers; this is the third in a series of three, and maps out instances that cause one to catch one's breath. The brain was completed in 2010.

While I used an anatomy textbook as a reference, the illustration was drawn freehand. This traveler illustrates things that get stuck in one's head (both analytical and emotional, the good old right brain-left-brain dichotomy).

Back in 2006/7, I started making anatomical diagrams on coffee travelers; this is the second in a series of three, and maps out instances that cause one to catch one's breath. While I used an anatomy textbook as a reference, the illustration was drawn freehand. This detail headline, "The air is like getting older, they say," is from a Dave Eggers short story.
