Book Arts

Anytime I hear anything about combining Books and Art, I think of Brian Dettmer. Brian uses old books to create insanely detailed sculptures simply by cutting through layers of text and images. The old books he uses experience new life the second he begins making incisions as the characters inside literally leap off the pages.

Here's another image that came up on a book art search that looks pretty cool. It seems to be a photoshop creation, using an image of a book.

  2. These are very clever sculptures, I like the octopus and ship especially. So, what are you thinking to do with this? I look forward to seeing what you come up with.
