The Anatomy of Illustration

nice work paul! very clean and professional result…. i would have liked to see the slice positioned where the trains wheels had passed but i’m being very picky….. good to see some more of your skills on display…..

Thanks guys the train tracks and the body aren’t meant to be too literall, more like two images interplaying with eachother to evoke reaction, the widest part of the body proving to have more imapct… but I do see your point “M”...

Great piece of work and yummie Ham.

OOOOOhh my, very raw lookin meat and not much bone =P. Awesome!

Wow crazy cool!

Great work…

meticulously gruesome…

Now that’s gotta hurt!
Great image, by the way! I like your style.

Mmmm – Ham

It does provoke a reaction… and does reduce you to two lumps of meat… and looks like you don’t have a spine either! Nicel put together. Very clean.

icky, shocked me with this one…

Nice One Paul;)

fabulously disturbing ! great

Lol. Nicely done. It would be interesting to know exactly what was running down between the tracks:)

i think they died from lack of a skeleton…

Why do i find this funny? Nice one Paul.

Can’t believe i missed this before! It’s fantastic. Looks like a few T-bones under his clothes. Well done.

very nice! I laughed.

Looking at that makes me laugh and cringe at the same time… hehehe…

haha thats so cool!

Well I must say that it’s different! well done! ( I like the “meat” bits! cool)

i love the concept. very well done!

Very clever.

Very clever.

i love how shes actually not cut on the rails

It’s great. I love it

Wow Paul, your work is always so thought-provoking! The processing here is awesome! I too like the way the light has been used.

this is beyond creepy, intense and lovely all at the same time.
AMAZING

hehehe thats kool

fantastic idea and very well executed! great work

Scary! But very good!!

That’s what I call, “Taking abit off the waist”...Great work!

Very cool.
My 4 year old caught me looking at this one. His relpy – “oh, mummy, that would hurt alot…”

That’s funny, I like this.

Cool

Amazing work!

you are so inspiring.

too cool. i wish i was that creative.

OMG!!! Simply Brilliant.

This is a great concept. Your style all around is fantastic!

Weird & cool!

I HATE IT WHEN THAT HAPPENS. I JUST DON’T FEEL RIGHT FOR DAYS.

brilliant image,,, well done Paul

Ah… ew.

haha oh wow.
this is humorous to me.
its very cool how you did it.

LOL, great imagination and talent.

My brother used to work for a morgue and he was once called to a site where a drunk man had stumbled upon some railroad tracks and made himself comfortable so he could fall asleep. Long story short, he feel asleep and had an encounter with a train. His accident wasn’t so lighthearted but I do think this is a very creative idea.

EXCELLENT!! OUTSTANDING!! AWESOME! You put this together perfectly, the masking is nothing less then perfect. Also perfect shading and placement of shadows!

i could never even attempt to do anything like this, you owned it. i just wish the slice was were the train would have met the track you know? but this is cool…like someone moved it or something

Pass me some wine I’m gonna need it Verrry Clever Work

Beautifully Disturbing . . .

Ahhhhhhhh this is crazzyyy!
LOVE IT :)

Ouch, that’s gotta hurt, brilliant DA work Paul

choptastic …..........

wow! Very cool work! LOL :)

Band aide anyone? LOL cool good job

I love the use of colour in this photograph it makes it look painterly and softens the blow of seeing a person cut in half. Very well done.

Brilliant!

OUCH! Thats HAS to hurt! Great photo!

wonderful title and genius thinking behind this idea.
very skilful and somewhat surreal feel to this image.
love it!

haha I love this!!

Local girl where I live lay on the track a couple of years back, train didn’t kill her immediately, lost her legs, died later. Crap for the driver too. A relative of mine had two suicides jump in front of his train on London Underground. Wrecked him too.
Passengers get so grumpy these days when it happens, delays everything and everyone.

I do like your work on here, but not so keen on this one.

WOW! So I am not the only one doing “anatomy of” photos. I think you may get a call from Dr. Gunther von Hagens soon. It is going to take me a while to get through all your images. When are you going to bring out a book ?

Paul, so many things come to mind here, where to start? FIRST, PERHAPS, that you laid upon this track LIKE THIS! WOW. Then ,that you bring to life the very horrific notion we all have thinking of what happens when lying on a train track – disection! And then, the somewhat over-the-top and waaaay obvious, tidy, meat layering at the cut point is is wonderfully B-movie, John Waters, or David Lynch!!!

This is so thoughtful, shocking, and yet manageable because of your specific artistic and creative treatment of it. Again, you bring to life our greatest fears, and force us to look. AND, god DA%^....you make it look like art! You make the hideous palatable, accessible, therefore bringing it round to the mind, no longer hidden, and frankly, you leave me watching and wanting for more.

Paul, I feel, when I view your work, that if I could BE you, I would do exactly what you are doing. Since I cannot BE you, I UNDERSTAND you, and that is a true thrill. Every time I come here and see a new piece, I am left feeling an odd sense of familiarity. Clearly, man, we’re both just SICK!!! HAHAHA! LOVE, LOVE what you do!

Oh, you take photos in supermarkets too? heh….

LMAO….LOVE LOVE your sense of HUMOR…...you told me how you love the way I see the beauty…..I think You See it the Same Way….you just like to KILL them afterwords :)))))))) LOL

again…...........you Kill me with your amazing POST and TREATMENT! :))) another Great ART! :)

Brilliant work

Wonderful-That’s salami,it looks like roundsteak?Good job though.Just what would you say in a greeting card with this on it?Actually this almost cheers me up-I’ve been inone of those moods where I’m happy one minute,then crying the next,therefore getting absolutely nothing done.I’m supposed to be making my worcestershire sauce,cause I’m out and can’t use the commercial brands anymore because I’m allergic to corn and they have corn syrup in them.Life without worcestershire is wrong.Looks like he could use some.

a classic transverse section!

omg…..im not a full veg, i do not eat red meat, however my son loves his sliced meats in this sandwich…i think i wont be able to buy them any more!!!!...great concepts!...lol
