I told you I was going to do this. Randomly posted bits of art for your eyes to snack on. Please note that all of the frogs are smiling. I hope they bring a smile to your face too. Click on the image for a larger view. Have a happy Tuesday! »
In honor of the quickies posts that the Skepchick network is known for, I have decided to start my very own Random Acts of Art posts. At least once week, I will post a snapshot of a piece of art here on Mad Art Lab that I have created over the past few days. The piece of art may be a photo, it may be a sculpture, it may be a painting or even a video. I don’t want to limit any of the possibil... »
Shannyn Moore got some attention recently for her article My Guns Are Less Regulated Than My Uterus and it inspired me to make this, because wherever you stand on gun control it’s crazy to think that bullets are easier to obtain than oral contraceptives, or low cost health care for women. »
Hey so I’ve been absent for a little while, my bad. I started a new job in November and have been busy adjusting to my new schedule, and adjust to the fact that I have a job that I LOVE AND WHAT IS THIS FEELING? Ahem.

We did some weird projects in grad school, and the bulk of them were in Ray’s class. Ray is a really cool guy, and even has an IMDB page. He taught intro techniques for anaplastology, or facial prosthetics (post on this subject coming next month). We cast our own ears in dental stone and then had to sculpt their mirror images in clay. This is something you’d have to do to make a prosth... »
So BBC 2 made a documentary about the inner workings of a cell, which also has sweet animations, AND is narrated by a former Doctor Who??? OK, I’m pretending to be excited about that last bit, I’ve never actually seen Doctor Who, but obviously a lot of you all have. All of that aside, this is a fairly impressive BBC documentary. Much like XVIVO’s Inner Life of the Cell animation,... »
