Description

I drew this ice cream cone en route (and very much for) a long-ish piece of writing that will go up on my blog and as a journal update in a couple of days.

I was once helped facilitate a study for a doctor presenting at the American Brachytherapy Association conference. This was in 2004, and I was pretty much only doing this work because my wife worked for the doctor and the conference was abroad (more on that blather later).

While looking up how to spell "brachytherapy," I found out that the little radioactive rods / seeds this cancer treatment entails look a lot like sugary ice cream sprinkles ...

So look out for radium apple in gallon pails this fall. =P

Other notes: 1) I drew this on a tablet--there's a fountain-pen-like function I sometimes use that I adore doing quick images with. 2) It is tremendously difficult to draw sprinkles on ice cream without it looking like an unnecessarily hairy bit of flesh.

(Sorry for that image.)
