I couldn’t actually bring myself to title this “Flower Balls” so it is henceforth known as “Flower Baubles”. There, much more lady-like! Senorita Makalita took a photo of the canvas print she…

The chordae tendineae, or heart strings, are cord-like tendons that connect the papillary muscles to the tricuspid valve and the mitral valve in the heart. This is another new illustration, based on a little gesture Nick did the other week. You see, he is quite susceptible to having his heart strings tugged by tv shows,…
