Personally, I’ve never heard of Emek nor seen his work before today. I must say, I am very impressed with not only the style that he works with but the intricate details he adds to his pieces. He’s been doing posters and illustration for over 20 years and has worked with everyone from the Pixies to Audioslave to Cold. As you can see, the human body, especially the skull, is a centerpiece for his work. Releasing an average of only 300 posters per event, Emek’s works are highly sought after by both art collectors and fans alike. Check out more of his work after the jump.

Sarah Hillenberger designs parts of the body from wool. You have to see the entire set to believe it. I’m partial to the intestinal track.

Back in the 1800s, if you got shot in the leg, it came off. Broke your arm? Let’s drink some whiskey and saw it off. Modern medicine has been well aided through anatomical drawings from centuries past. Kaibo Zonshinzu has not only drawn some of the most intricate, beautiful medical scrolls, but takes it the extra mile by depicting pain on each person’s face, as if they were a recently disposed-of corpse.

These drawings and scrolls are now kept at the Keio University Library. Over 83 still exist today and have probably made quite a few medical students cringe. I mean look at the dude above. Kaibo is almost as twisted as these Noggins are.
