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.

I think this is wonderful. What was the purpose of inserting in a coffee traveler? I am going to share on my blog. lauramongiovi.blogspot.com
ReplyDeleteLaura,
DeleteGlad you like it! I got the idea to insert an illustration in a coffee traveler when one of my cousins gave my sister a customizable coffee traveller with a photo collage; I though an anatomical diagram would make for an visually arresting coffee transportation system. I've given several similar designs as gifts, as the diagram points out emotional points (such as "things that make you catch your breath") as opposed to, say, the left ventricle. As such, they make for easily personalized gifts--and I think they're pretty.
