Dave Kimble was also well known for his cutaway artwork. https://www.hotrod.com/news/david-kimble-cutaway-x-ray-visio...

I loved the ‘Visual Dictionary’ of 2000s . Damn that booo is peak encyclopaedia, describing everything in amazing detail, I first read that book when I was 5. I have bought a second hand copy of that book for my future kids.

Stephen Biesty had some wonderful works I loved as a child.

It was great fun finding the toilet on each and every cross-sectioned exhibit. :D

stephen_g•5mo ago
I thought that sounded familiar, as soon as I saw the cover the nostalgia hit me - that book was one of my favourites too!
King-Aaron•5mo ago
This was my absolute favourite book as a kid, and now thinking back to it, it's probably still my favourite book as an adult.
skybrian•5mo ago
It's striking how every illustration in the article is fiction, but the cut-away drawings make them look at first as if they might be real.
Daub•5mo ago
FYI… artists of this generation would often paint their illustration the same size as it was printed. No easy task! Medium was likely gauche on board.

Edit: I meant gouach. This is a very non reflective paint hence ideal for photographing. A few artists still work like this. Check out the work of Glenn Fabry

I'm a total nerd for cutaways.

Nuclear Engineering Magazine ran cutaways of reactors, apparently from the fifties all the way to the nineties.
