Up in them Guts!

We've all been around hospitals.  It's a wonder that anybody gets well in them, considering the "get well" gifts that people send patients.  Honestly, what's a teddy bear or balloon bouquet going to do for somebody?  Pink ribbons?  Yellow rubber wristbands?  Thankfully, the world of health care has I Heart Guts, a craft business catering to people who love organs.  These cuddly organs are the creation of illustrator Wendy Brian. 

Brian isn't content to rest on her laurels, though.  She donates considerable amounts of her time to worthy charities and hospitals who want to go beyond the fuzzy bunny for their fundraisers and public awareness campaign.  Do you have a worthy charity?  Brian will design buttons or other material for you, GRATIS.  There's nothing like good design to help a patient pull through.  Not every organ is a paragon of perfect health, obviously, and I Heart Guts acknowledges them as well.  Check out the "Black Lung" to the left.  Brian also designed a cuddly group of "frankenfoods" for a new gallery show at Munky King Melrose.  In the meantime, be good to your organs, and they'll keep you out of the hospital (so you don't have to endure balloon bouquets and teddy bears...you get the idea.)
