Wound Man is an illustration which first appeared in European surgical texts in the Middle Ages. It laid out schematically the various wounds a person might suffer in battle or in accidents.

It would really suck to be wound man.

Atomic Overlook by Clay Lipsky

Lipsky on his work:

I was raised during the Cold War, when the threat of nuclear war loomed between two superpowers. The dramatized depictions in TV and film of such an apocalyptic demise both intrigued and scared me as a child. Yet the actual historic record of the atomic age was full of antiquated black and white images that seemed dated and a world away. This series recontextualizes a legacy of atomic tests in order to keep the reality of our post-atomic era fresh and omnipresent. It also speaks to the current state of the world and the voyeuristic culture that we live in. Imagine if the advent of the atomic era occurred during today’s information age. Tourists would gather to view the bomb tests, at the “safe” distances used in the 1950’s, and share the resulting cell phone photos online. Broadcast media would regurgitate such visual fodder ad nauseum, bringing new levels of desensitization. The threat of atomic weapons is as great as ever, but it is a hidden specter. Nuclear proliferation has gained even more obscurity through the “rogue” factions that can now possess them. Meanwhile America’s stockpile of weapons continues to be modernize and will probably never cease to exist. I can only hope that mankind will never again suffer the wrath of such a destructive force, but it is clear that the world would not hesitate to watch.

The British Imperial War Museum has culled from its collection of over 20,000 wartime posters their favorite 30 from World War II and released them in the form of a free app. Each one has details about its designer as well as the stories behind the designs and comments from IWM’s curators. You can also buy prints of the posters, including everybody’s favorite:
