The Homunculus

steve_icon_medium.jpgThe Omnibrain is a psychology graduate student at an online university. He hopes that the three weeks and $29.95 that he is spending on his Ph.D. will get him a job at a Tier 1 research university. Do online universities have postdocs? Ok...just kidding, The Omnibrain is a real graduate student at a real school somewhere in the continental United States - or maybe Europe.

Artist's Comments

NEWS! This piece will be featured in the next issue of "Hi Fructose" magazine.

I thought that part of the dog was its ears! The brain is much lower in the head and not separated, in my opinion.

Dogs come in all shapes and sizes, I guess. This one reminds me of Odie. Also, this image rocks, so don't let Katherine get to you, Steve.
