The New York Times has a slideshow of the work of artist-turned-med-student Satre Stuelke, who takes CT scans of everyday things – from a toaster to an iPhone, to Barbie, to a Big Mac. His aim is to get people to “think about how things are constructed.”
Images like this are captivating, they satisfy some innate curiosity we have about the things around us. This is what I try to accomplish in my technical illustration – visually communicating information with a captivating image.
