<p>Julia Chesky runs a photo blog that catalogues the city&#8217;s many intricate window displays known as <a title="Modelzing" href="http://modelizing.blogspot.com" target="_blank">Modelizing</a> . She has titled this project the &#8220;Original Hipster&#8221;, based on a children&#8217;s book published in the mid 1960&#8217;s called the &#8220;T<a title="The Pushcart War" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Pushcart_War" target="_blank">he</a> <a title="The Pushcart War" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Pushcart_War" target="_blank">Pushcart War</a>&#8220;; a story about the conflict between pushcart peddlers and delivery trucks in New York City.</p>

<p>I&#8217;ve been a huge fan of this type of scientific illustration for a while, and today i finally immersed myself into the history of one of the artists: <a title="Ernst Haeckl" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ernst_Haeckel" target="_blank">Ernst Haeckel</a>.  The organisms are living abstract art, and Ernst&#8217;s level of detail and color palette are just amazing. What is also amazing is these drawings were done over a century ago, and Ernst wasn&#8217;t just a prolific artist, he was also a biologist, naturalist, philosopher, physician, and professor; who also discovered thousands of new species and contributed heavily to the genealogical tree. Find out more on <a title="Ernst Haeckel" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ernst_Haeckel" target="_blank">wikipedia</a>.</p>
<p>More of Ernst&#8217;s art can be found on <a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/nickderington/sets/72157603667155005/" target="_blank">Nick Derington&#8217;s flickr</a>, thanks Nick for compiling all these images.</p>
