artificial heart, ghost heart

The “ghost heart” is so cool, it’s the extracellular scaffolding left after the removal of all of the actual cells. The cells can then hypothetically be replaced using stem cells from the heart recipient. I’m not sure if a heart replacement has been successfully completed in humans using this technique, but it’s a very interesting idea for organ transplantation.

Spike Deer

This is by far the most interesting skull I own in my collection. About 2 years ago, I found the scattered remains of this deer after a pack of coyotes in the area had eaten their full of him. I can only assume that he had been culled by a hunter because of his odd antlers before the scavengers got to him.

Now I’ve heard of white tailed deer developing a spike on one side, but to have two almost perfectly symmetrical antlers like these is fascinating to me. He also has some damage above his right eye which was most likely due to the gnawing from the coyotes. He’s become a favorite of mine and I plan on using him as the subject for my next art project.
