If You Were to X-Ray an Entire Office Building, It Would Look Something Like This

It's good to know that if British X-ray photographer Nick Veasey ever found himself in a hard place, he could work for Heathrow security. But let's hope it doesn't come to that: The oeuvre that Veasey is building from within his concrete bunker is too freaky to fizzle out just now.

The artist got his start as a scamp when he tried to game a Pepsi hidden-pull-tab contest with a hospital X-ray machine. He didn't find the winning tab, but he did discover a passion for peering into the guts of stuff. Veasey built a fortified compound in Kent, about an hour's drive east of London, and got busy aiming bursts of DNA-scrambling radiation at seemingly anything that crossed his path: a bowler hat, a toy rocket, a Chrysanthemum, a tractor, a bat, a middle finger and a thornback ray that looks like it'd be best buddies with that thing at the end of Prometheus.
