Skin?

I was a bit hesitate to post this image, because this is different from what I make usually. Here is my first medical illustration ever. It's been a while since I used adobe illustrator to draw something and it took me a while to finish it including researching the structure of skin! You know it should be accurate. A printed image came out darker than the original one though, I am happy to see it on the paper.

Forbear

My work at silent auction auctioned off at the silent auction at graphite last month.
There was another big minor earthquake in Tohoku two days ago. Political issues relating to Earthquake are arising one after another. Forbear from leisures including Hanami (enjoying Cherry blossom) is one of issues, but that may bring economical sluggish at the same time. I believe beautiful flowers may help ease their stress and anxiety. My parents visit to an old temple near my house that have an very old cherry blossom tree almost every day in this season. And they do this year, too.
