Well Doruksal gave me an idea a while back, so tonight at work I went fossicking through the reject X-Ray bin at work and grabbed a few interesting images to scan in, and manipulate...I posted the result in the mixed-medium gallery, in larger format, but thought I'd share the result with you as well...Hell, I've tried MicroPhotography, LunarPhotography, now its RadiologyScanography!! I'm just having fun, I hope you're enjoying my experiments and not getting sick of them! :-)> There's a link to the larger pic if you're interested....*SPAM SPAM SPAM*Syyd posted Sat, 26 January 2002 at 9:33 AM
TWINS!!!!!!!!!!seriously, what an ingenious plan!

Anyone care to make a funny remark about men & women, regarding the brain size on this shot ? ;)

Looks like they have laser vision or something? Keep them coming : )

very cool, Punkie. The difference between men and women's brains is that we use ours ;*)

LOL, that's a good one =)

Now, most happy to have if any influence upon you..!
Thanx for this image, but let me ask immediately: how come are those soft tissue details..?!
Are they the part of your manipulation..?
The brains already seem to be a clear manipulation (a seperate brain image incorporated, probably an illustration) when you look at this work in the larger version, but the soft tissues which make up the contours of the faces are so detailed along with those again so very detailed bony parts, and they all match each other lock and key (yet, I may be mistaken altogether as I'm not a radiology specialist)......and I cannot figure it out whether you've done a blending with a few images together or not...
Anyway, beautiful and impressive work..! :)
May I join this "radiology frenzy" with a strictly bony work..?
...After this...

The image was infact a dia-positive of that particular hand radiograph,
and was prepared by an old professor of orthopedics and traumatology
to be shawn in a lecture about rheumatoid arthritis (RA).
Then, after the retirement of that professor, the image passed to
his son, who also worked in the same department as an associate
professor.
It was in this associate professor's lecture on RA that I first saw
this image and was struck by it (it was 1996, as far as I remember)...
After the lecture, I asked for permission to borrow the transparency
for being able to enlarge and print it in our photography club in the
faculty.
I had the symmetrisations in my mind from the very beginnign,
but I had to wait to own a computer and a scanner for being able to
produce them seamlessly...
Well, talked too much, but I cannot resist to remember and tell the
stories... :)
Regards...

I'm gonna resist the temptation to say it looks like Punk 'cept it's got a brain - that would be too obvious and a wee bit too nasty. So I'll stick to the 'nice pic' comment. (",) btw, don't wanna get into gorey details & putting people off their tea, but is this a crash victim? The right hand pics bone structure looks well trashed up....or is that just your work on the image itself?
JordyArt posted Sat, 26 January 2002 at 3:10 PM
ooops- Sorry, Doruk, was referring to the face pics by the Punkmaster - that noe / upper jaw / jaw area just doesn't look good to me! Actually, your pics remind me of the Alien Chestburster.... just my actual attempt to put someone off their tea! (",)

They are just amazing and very beautiful Cameron,no matter how you made them. You certainly widens your teritory for each day. What comes next?
dreamsosweet posted Sat, 26 January 2002 at 4:25 PM
These are both way cool! What's next Punkie? "Open wide and say ahhh, nope a little wider please, have to get my camera in there, you know....." ;-)
PunkClown posted Sun, 27 January 2002 at 5:50 AM
Doruk, I like your images and your story...The soft tissue detail was already there in the XRays, I've touched up and photoshopped here and there, but mostly it's the real McCoy. You were right about the brain, I rendered that ages ago for an interactive CD-ROM on basic structure and function of the brain, for grads starting on the neurosurgical ward I used to work on...the rest of the pic is just graphics and layers flattened together to give the final product. Jordy, not sure what these people originally presented to ED with, as these XRays were in the "reject" bin...so they could've been a few days old, I didn't look after these guys anyway...I think there's no major damage there... Caledonia, Rork...your comments remind me of a joke the midwives told me recently up in the delivery suite: "We had a miracle up here the other day...a baby was born with a brain and a penis!" LOL Thanks everyone for looking and your comments...as for what comes next? Your guess is as good as mine! ;-)>

This is very cool Clown I've never seen anything like this portrayed as art. Very original work : )

...you know, I really dig this x-ray stuff you are doing. Have seen few pics with similar idea like this and planned to do one myself too. But, hella cool still. I would pay big buck$ to get my hands on x-ray pics. These rawks. .n

Whatever your point was, it is a gorgeous image. Kind of outerspace-feeling in it (wrong word, I mean inner space :-)
PunkClown posted Mon, 28 January 2002 at 7:34 PM
Hey, that's cool Niko, I think you were right though Gun, it's inner-space but with a very sci-fi feel to this image. Niko, if you ever need to have an X-ray done, or if you're in hospital at all, go to the X-Ray department and politely ask if you could have any "reject" X-Rays to experiment with...they always have some that they usually just throw out...as with photography, not all their exposures are useful! (for diagnostic purposes in these cases) Most radiologists are pretty friendly, and would probably be appreciative in someone taking an "artistic" interest in their work!

Dear Antoonio, I seem to remember yet another work from you, where this time you'd used a radiographic image of a shoulder girdle... Was not able to look for this in your gallery, and I may have mistaken...
Antoonio posted Tue, 29 January 2002 at 8:56 AM
Punkister, thank you for the tip. I will ask those pics when visiting local hospital. And like I said before, I really dig these x-rays. Esp that electrical hand you posted before. Keep playing with these. Doruksal, hmmmm, I dont recall doing such image, but that doesn't mean I dont have work like that. ...but this should be only x-ray pic I have made. .n
PunkClown posted Tue, 29 January 2002 at 3:50 PM
Niko, it was Doruk who posted the electrical hand...can't take credit for that (wish I could though!) Jordy that's a creepy cool image, sort of reminds me of a cross between "Terminator" and "American Werewolf in London" (don't ask me why...just feels that way)
Antoonio posted Wed, 30 January 2002 at 12:48 AM
Punkie, aaaah, it was. Sorry for mixup. Anyway, really good stuff both of you.
PunkClown posted Wed, 30 January 2002 at 12:52 AM
Nooo Problemo! and thankyou for the compliments...credit from you is credit indeed... :-)>

Cameron, yor image fits so well in the color scheme on 2D, either in the blue or turquise.
PunkClown posted Wed, 30 January 2002 at 1:17 AM
You are right about the colour scheme Gun, thankyou, but I wouldn't consider it to be a 2D work, it has some "hand-done" graphic work, but the main source of the image is scanned and photomanipulated X-rays, which is why I put it in the "Mixed-Media" Gallery... :-)>

This is brilliant Gun, you seem to have the pelvic gidle bones pretty anatomically accurate and I love your "Heart Shaped" Womb too!
gunsan posted Wed, 30 January 2002 at 11:36 PM
I did not have a real Xray but I had an image of the pelvis, so it is not "handmade", but thanks for the comment
Antoonio posted Thu, 31 January 2002 at 1:08 AM
Gun, thats pretty impressive work there. Original idea and really good execution. .n
