Equine Stifle Joint Front & Lateral

When drawing for scientific study, "artistic license" is NOT something you should use.

Meticulous measurements and almost photographic reality is necessary.
equine stifle joint page Working for the University of Minnesota veterinary instructors, Dr. Wes Anderson and Dr. Weber, was fun, fascinating, and yet, very sad at the same time. I love animals, but I was seeing them in some of the saddest circumstances ... hurt, injured, or sick.

Often, the various drawings the instructors needed for class were pulled from many different sources. At times, I'd copy them, but make various changes to show different maladies.

As you can see from the page, most illustrations require a key or legend and accuracy was a MUST.

Equine Pelvic Limb - Full Page Medical illustration is a serious field and not to be taken lightly. It was a little scairy at first, but later, I got a kick out of the fact that some of MY STUFF was actually being used in classrooms and textbooks for students to learn from.

On the lighter side, the one winter I worked for them included one adventure I still enjoy telling my neices and nephews. We had a mega-snowstorm lasting all weekend with 3 & 4-foot drifts. The plows couldn't keep up with the snow. As a result, I got snowed in at the University with the animals for the weekend. I ended up helping the caretaker feed them as no-one else could get in or out until the snowstorm was over and the plows came around a day-and-a-half later.

I was lucky he was there - but I ended up sleeping overnight with the critters. Tomcat, the scroungy old campus mascot, kept me company. This cat knew a good thing when he had it - the students helped "old tom" get rid of his fur balls fairly regularly!
