It would probably be quite a frightful sight to see [translucent birds](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/tiki-lamp) in nature, but thankfully, they only exist within these stunning illustrations by Jaime Zollars. A peculiar series, Zollars has rendered each avian with its insides readily visible to viewers. The birds’ interiors are comprised of surreal objects ranging from luminous bubbles to a complete heart with veins and arteries extending out of it. It’s a series that’s best experienced visually as no amount of description would truly do the work justice.

For those unfamiliar, Jaime Zollars is a Baltimore, Maryland-based illustrator whose extensive client list includes [United Airlines](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/summer-sunset), The American Red Cross, [Random House](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/generated-tools), Scholastic, Potter Books, the Los Angeles Weekly and more. People can’t seem to get enough of Zollar’s distinct drawings, which combine whimsical concepts with a visual style that’s fun and imaginative.
