Paul Jackson, a British artist based in Toronto, creates stunningly detailed and dark pen-and-pencil drawings of various animals with their skeletons and sometimes organs lifting out of their bodies. By treating them with respect, the pictures of their insides look more like mystical anatomy lessons than roadkill.

Jackson started drawing when he was 5 and always thought that this was what he’d do for the rest of his life. Though he toured with a band for 8 years, it seems like this just might end up being true!
