Another flatlander

[ffutures]

Here's another attempt at a flatland picture, using a technique which ought to be fairly versatile:



The way I did this one was to make the triangle and mouth in a drawing program and print it onto marbled paper, then guillotine and cut it to shape, then scan it. May sound silly, but it seems to work and it's FAST, I did this one in about ten minutes from start to finish!

Dewdney's "The Planiverse" may be what you're thinking of. I have a copy, but they aren't very like Abbot's Flatlanders, his book describes a 2D world in which the world is a disk with the flatlanders living on the rim.

The nearest approximation I can think of for similar really flat organs is a liver fluke - but even there you see tubes crossing etc. if you look really carefully.

Here's the same shape with some liver fluke anatomy superimposed. Not sure I like it as much...
