Gillian Higgins is a champion horseback rider who teaches horse anatomy to veterinary students, riders, and caretakers by painting the skeletal and muscular systems on the bodies of live horses. She uses water-based hypoallergenic paints and spends up to 4 hours painting a single horse.
“Painting the skeleton and musculature on the side of the horse really helps to bring the subject to life, she told the Daily Mail. “You can discover how to get the best out of your horse by seeing exactly what happens as it moves.”
The English horse-ring champion and sports remedial therapist got the idea for “Horses Inside Out” back in 2006 after completing a degree in equine business management. She understood why many riders and trainers were struggling to learn all those bones and muscles with incredibly long names, and started thinking about a way to better make them understand how the horse works.

![While an awful lot of work goes into the design and production of US currency, many people feel that it’s not nearly as interesting or exciting as the money produced by other countries. As a possible replacement for his rather staid portrait on the US five dollar bill, artist Tim Shumate (aka telegrafixs) reimagines a buff, tough, pierced and tattooed (but still quite solemn and pensive) version of Abraham Lincoln in this awesome pencil drawing entitled I Got $5 On It.
This piece is available as a print here and as a t-shirt here.

“Animals Inside Out” is an exhibition of animal corpses that have been perfectly preserved with plastic polymers in a process called “plastination” (video). The exhibition is by plastination inventor Dr. Gunther von Hagen. Von Hagen is best known for his Body Worlds exhibitions of plastinated human cadavers. “Animals Inside Out” is on display at the Natural History Museum in London through September 16, 2012. To see more photos of the exhibition, see this gallery by The Guardian.
