Getting More Human...

Well, hello. My name is Kenzie Owens.

If there was a way to lay down all the cards on a table with labels that could correctly describe a person entirely with words and possibly illustrations, I'd be all over that. However, I've yet to find them outside of my daily horoscope.

I love anatomy. The way the human body functions is a topic that never fails to interest me. Everything from hair growth to body decay[don't eat lunch and try to learn about those processes], I positively gorge on. I would be a surgeon, doctor, nurse, PT... if I had the mathematical/science skills that I lack. Thankfully, God gave me a few other skills to work with.

Usually this blog is about packaging. I focused on boxing and printing and protection of technology. The blog's original name was Human Packaging, mostly to be something personal and ironic. However, I'm currently now using this blog for my Life Drawing 1 course. It makes the blog's title even more ironic, and idk if I can keep it...We'll have to see.

If you haven't read the book Stiff by Mary Roach, I strongly recommend it for those with a strong stomach. It gets into the 'deep tissue' of how the body works/doesn't work, and the way it deteriorates. Along with enough sarcastic humor to make Hugh Laurie satisfied.
