Help


I am writing a book on suicide and self harm and unfortunately my artistic skills are not too good. I need a drawing of the Langer's lines on the body to assit with harm minimization of those who self harm by cutting.

Here are two drawings I got from the internet but I can't use them as they are copyrighted.




Is there any drawing type of person out there who could draw one for me and then give me permission to use it? It does not need to be as detailed as the top diagram. The detail of the bottom one is probably just right.

I would need it to be no more than 10cm high, in black and white and if I could get the original and maybe as a JPEG. I can scan it as well.

Your help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks in anticipation

Tony

  3. I dont do new years resolutions because I have come to learn that I never ever keep them!


    But I do think 2010 is going to be a year of good transformation. Well that is what my stars are saying anyway!

  4. Did you get my joke Kahless?

    I think you should make a new years resolution to give up smoking in 2010

  5. No I didnt Graffit, but that is more of a reflection that I am slow on the uptake of jokes.

    But I lol at your suggestion of giving up smoking. We all know that before the words left my lips they would be doomed to fail.

  6. OK Kahless if you think that the giving up smoking new years resolution (contract) would fail then I suggest to you what we call a carom contract.

    Everytime you feel like you want a ciggie you have a sexual fantasy. It does not matter if you actually smoke the ciggie or not but every time you feel like one you have a short fantasy. And you do this for three months and then stop the contract.

  7. Apart from being a great idea Tony, how does that help anyone give up smoking?? And does the fantasy have to be a short one?

    Sounds like an either nice or very frustrating idea Kahless. Makes one wonder if it would be worth taking up smoking just to give up! Holy Smokes!

  8. Try seeing about getting permission from "Netter's" (major anatomy artist, dead now, his stuff appears all over).

  9. Or maybe for that purpose, you just need it for arms, tops of thighs, and abdomen.

  10. I agree with mysadalterego on this one. I don't know how much more different of a drawing you can make it.

  11. OK Sara,
    I will have a look at the 'Netter's' drawings

    thanks for the whole original idea of harm minimzation for self harmers. I have ended up with quite a good statement about it I think and how it could be used and I will include it in the book

    Happy 2010

  12. Hello Anon and my best wishes to you for the new year. How long have we known each other now?

    its not so much drawing a different picture as getting a picture that is not copyrighted such that I can use it

    Regards

    Tony

  13. Roses,
    You are right about the contract. I have suggested a time period much too long. Carom contracts usually should be short and it should be only for about three days not three months as I originally suggested

  14. *Giggles* I wasn't talking about the length of the contract Tony. I don't even know what a 'carom contract' is.

  16. Hello Graffiti,

    A Carom Contract - never heard of it.

    I must admit - and I cant believe I am admitting it - I have a pretty low sex drive. I tried the sexual fantasy thing but I get easily distracted by listening to the conversations going round me in the smoking shelter at work. Way more interesting!

  17. Ken,

    I am Taurus.

    And the stars are good.

    And I feel good things are about to happen at work. I should know the detail within the month.

    xx.

  18. Just saw your other comment Graffiti. Three days. Maybe I will try to focus and persevere. 3 months sounded daunting but I probably could stretch some self discipline of focus for 3 days!

  19. Hello Kahless,

    Maybe you have found a better carom contract. The goal is to find something that is high FC for you and it sound slike eavesdropping is just that.

    So when you are around others use the eavesdropping one instead.

    Happy 2010

  20. Actually high FC would be fantasising, but more like 007 fantasing!

    I always fancied myself as a super ninja!
