Awesome art


This art I found online I really love and it combines my love of science with my interest in art :)  They are 3D scultures of deadly viruses!  How cool is that?  I know that a deadly virus isn't cool and I wouldn't wish it upon anybody but they do make for pretty pictures as they are complex organisms.  I found them here and there is more information about how they were developed and the guy that made them there too :)

Here are a couple of images I shall share to intice you =)

E. Coli

HIV

Aren't they cool?  Well I think so :)

I know someone who has a big teddy of the gonorrhea virus, and is always like 'yeah, so-and-so gave me the clap'. Gets me every time!

These are amazing! I am constantly in awe of science. The fact that we can see things so tiny well enough to make such amazing detailed models of them is just amazing.
