I found an old wooden stereoscope at an antique shop recently, and wanted to try making a 3D illustration. If you can do Magic Eye pictures, you can do this. Just cross your eyes and try to focus on the picture in the middle. It looks better big, so here's a much larger version.

If you can't make it work, not to fear. Here's a gif version.

Being in a zero-pressure environment will cause swelling of your tissues. Not talking like Total Recall-swelling where your head explodes, but definitely a problem. I'm covering swelling in another picture, though. This one is a result of the swelling: bruises.

Lack of oxygen is your main concern in space. You'd quickly lose consciousness and, as the oxygen supply in your blood runs out, your skin would take on a bluish tint. No joke, I think this is the most important thing I've ever done. The butt of this man. This man's ass.

This one looks different than the others in the series because it is; this does not happen. Rapid decompression is not enough to rip your skin off, burst your eyes, or make your chest explode. You'd only be going from probably less than 1 atmosphere of pressure to none. Divers undergo pressure changes many many times more severe, albeit slowly, and they're fine. The eyes and chest exploding notions will get their own pictures, too. Until then, though, prints of this one are available here.

Another consequence of no protection from radiation in space: you'd get a sunburn very easily. If you're near a star.

Another thing that happens in space, away from an atmosphere or space ship, is being bombarded by cosmic rays. Many many years after he dies of oxygen deprivation, he will die of cancer.

Posting this so that I see it everyday (I am a narcissist), so as to remind me to get off my butt. It's for me only, so don't look at it.

Entry for a little friendly art-fu battle. Theme was "the great beyond."

This is the first of a series called "Bodies in Space." This one illustrates that you don't freeze instantly in space, as if you've been launched out the airlock in Battlestar Galactica. On Earth you lose heat by convecting it into the air around you. In space, though, there is no medium into which you convect heat. Aside from evaporative cooling, the only way to lose heat is to radiate it, which is a far slower process. You'd be dead of something else long before you're cold. Neat!

This picture is not to be looked upon by kids or moms and dads. It is Not Safe For Work, unless you work in a nakedperson factory, in which case it's probably be alright.

I found an ebay store what has dead bugs and will mail you dead bugs for money (an atlas rhino beetle, for instance). What you do with the bugs is your own business, and I won't ask, but me I choose to rehydrate them to splay their legs and draw them up. Maybe with carbon dust.

Someone recently messaged me on Etsy, saying how much they liked my description for this picture. For posterity, I'll post it here, too:

"I wanted something like a classic portrait to hang above my mantle, should I ever possess a fireplace. An image that would greet me warmly with a smile as I come home from a long day at the bug factory (we make all the bugs, sorry!) This is the image that I just now told you about.

'You're number one in my book!' is what you can imagine him saying to you."

Prints of this portrait of Riker (the manliest man), are available here.

I should probably take this down in case you steal my idea. My idea for this horse.

This is something of a self-portrait, except that I don't smoke.
