Drawn! The Illustration and Cartooning Blog

You know, we may lavish a lot of praise on humans around here, but you have to admit, this willow tree is getting a gorgeous line with those technical pens. Respect to our arboreal cousins!

Using only the wind as her guide, this tree’s drawings are part of an elaborate art project supervised by Tim Knowles. Ignore all the haughty high art nonsense and check out the cool pictures here.

Update: No sooner had I posted, than Kevin writes to inform us of a much more diabolical non-human art project involving rat-neurons in petri dishes. The BBC elaborates:

The project represents the team’s effort to create a semi-living entity that learns like the living brains in people and animals do, adapting and expressing itself through art.

A petri culture of rat neurons drew this. Not bad!
