Yesterday at work, my boss and I were looking at the Medical Illustration Source Book. It had arrived unsolicited in the mail a few days ago and I was showing it to her to see if she thought it was worth keeping; I didn’t think it was. The book is basically a big advertising directory for medical illustrators. Each page has a full color illustration of some body part or other along with the name and contact information for the artist/company. It’s really a beautiful book if you like looking at internal organs.
While my boss was flipping through it, I was explaining that it was just advertising for the artists and I started to point toward the spot on the page where the company contact information was located. My boss flipped to the next page just as my finger advanced and I found myself pointing at a detailed picture of a man’s plumbing.
Timing, as they say, is everything.
