Space Shuttle Rising

I’d vote for #18.  In fact I’d vote for a cheese sandwich over Obama/Biden.  There, I said it.

Greg Dunn: Neurons Painted As Japanese Scrolls

Greg Dunn paints neurons. He uses brushless methods that allow the ink to roll spontaneously across the paper, recreating the ordered randomness of neural projections. He also uses smooth brush strokes that he says “…capture the natural molecular unfolding of nature.”

Here’s what he has to say about what artists can learn from science (and maybe vice versa):

Fundamentally art and science are ruled by the same principal. You must start any project with a clear idea of what your question is. You start with a clear idea and you follow it up with a clear hypothesis. You are trying to get to the root of this question. And when you start painting you are trying to get to the resolution of this question. If you don’t have a clear foundation you will never produce something that is great.
