The Sardonic Smile by Chris Buzelli
Chris Buzelli recently completed a cover for The Journal of the Norwegian Medical Association. The cover project was to illustrate "the sardonic smile" as a medical term.
From Chris's blog:
"I knew about the cynical/vengeful expression of a sardonic smile but I had no idea about it as a medical term. In medicine, it is defined as a smile-like facial expression induced by involuntary muscle spasms most often caused by toxins released by tetanus bacteria. However in folklore, the sardonic smile has a much more interesting past. It might have to do with the ingestion of the sardonion plant from Sardinia which cause muscle spasms, laughter and death. "

Calef Brown - Annoying Buzzwords
Calef Brown did this illustration for a feature in the December 2011 issue of PlanSponsor Magazine. The article was about annoying buzzwords in the workplace, and we think Calef's illustration does a great job of conveying this. It must be the way he thinks outside of the box... :)
