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

Very cool! The book they mention looks pretty interesting:

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

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.

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.
