Cancer cells, HIV and Ebola by Alexey Kashpersky

It's difficult not to get drawn in by Alexey Kashpersky's stunning digital illustrations of what look like otherworldly creatures. The Ukrainian artist creates mesmerizing pictures of cancer cells, neurons, blood clotting, and a myriad of viruses and bacteria to let viewers explore the world of medicine and microbiology. To accomplish these stark 3D images, he uses various computer graphics software applications such as Nuke, ZBrush, 3ds Max, V-Ray, Photoshop and After Effects.

Alexey, who I discovered through The Pipetteer, has a Master of Visual and Decorative and Applied Arts degree. He is the recipient of several awards in the field of 3D graphics, and his work has been published in numerous books and magazines. The Poltava native now lives in New Jersey where he works as a 3D artist at Radius Digital Science. He is a member of the Association of Medical Illustrators.

In Memory of Laura

So sad this morning to hear of the unexpected death of Laura, an old fiend and former dentist. I will always remember her bizarre taste in music, her dark humor, and her unwavering belief that a person’s worth is tied to their oral care routine. Last year, we wanted to meet and work together again on something and I am very, very sorry that will never happen. I've mentioned her in a 2015 blog post , and today I will rerun the tale... Not So Happy Ending Not so long ago, I went for a drink in a pub in Ortigas. I had second thoughts about entering the establishment when I noticed there were so many people inside. There were men with ironic beard and pretentious hairstyles dressed in rolled up chinos and check shirts; women in vintage sundresses, skinny jeans, and acid wash denim cutoff shorts; actors and models trying to look hip; and a bunch of call center agents who wanted to get drunk before they start their graveyard shifts. There was this famous guitarist at one table, with sho...

Finding Art That Speaks To You

The internet is a vast ocean, and every now and then, you stumble upon something that makes you stop in your tracks. Recently, I was scrolling through my Instagram when I discovered Laurent Proux 's art. I surfed for what felt like hours, and thanked the IG algorithm for its foresight. It's rare to find an artist who can evoke such a strong feeling with their creations, and I instantly became a fan. The French artist's paintings often feature opposing elements—light and shadow, nature and industry, pleasure and violence, the real and the surreal. His figures are often fragmented, distorted, or contorted, blurring the lines between the human form and the landscapes they inhabit. Think of a vivid dream where everything is a little off-kilter, quite nightmarish, but in the most charming way possible. Proux's work is a reminder that art isn't just something to be observed in a museum or gallery. It's a powerful form of communication, a way for artists to share their...
