What a beautiful use of books, especially as we keep hearing how they'll all be outdated and gone soon!

Art is a great part of life, it makes the world beautiful. It tells alot of the person that did the art.

saralynneharper recommended this 1 year, 10 months ago

These are fun. If you have some artistic ability you could take inspiration from these and do your own version at home (on a smaller scale...unless you've got a loft and a lot of free time on your hands).

It's amazing!

I'm not sure if this would technically be categorized as mixed media, but it's close enough for me!

oErino recommended this 1 year, 10 months ago

This is beautiful. I'm like a librarian, in that the desecration of books usually infuriates me, but these paintings are so brilliant that I am completely fine with the use of novels as a canvas. There's something strangely poetic about this that I can't quite put my finger on...

LNoguchi recommended this 1 year, 10 months ago

What an amazing idea. Brilliant!

A novel way of disposition for old novels and books.

original... shrewd social comment on social transition from books to electronic media... love found-art feel

Grabbaggirl recommended this 1 year, 11 months ago

Absolutely beautiful and so cool

WICKED FREAKING COOL.

Backfence recommended this 1 year, 11 months ago

OK - the artwork is very original - I love the look. But that's a lot of books taken out of circulation, and that concerns me somewhat.

shukain recommended this 1 year, 11 months ago

This is amazing. So incredibly amazing.

lissalou recommended this 1 year, 11 months ago

Wonder if I can do this just with the colors of the book spines?

TheGypsyRocker recommended this 1 year, 11 months ago

How creative. Very nice. :)

HeatherCoutts recommended this 1 year, 11 months ago

Love this! Such an original and interesting idea, love the layered texture of the painted books, and the contrast between the white paint and the coloured bindings.

Beautiful paintings and the stacked books make a wonderful canvas.

xXCrossXx recommended this 2 years ago

Oh, this is amazing!

jeff-watkins recommended this 2 years ago

Incredible, but I really hope he doesn't live hear a fault line...

patrickgagn recommended this 2 years ago

Using books as the canvas is a great idea!

pigsalreadyfly recommended this 2 years ago

imagine one person for every book and the all travel somewhere else in the world and put this back together.

lenavis recommended this 2 years ago

I find this completely pointless.

Here's a pretty awesome upcycling/artistic project

vahehakobyan recommended this 2 years ago

nice approach!

hrldcpr recommended this 2 years ago

Looks really cool. And right up @figmentfiction's alley!

crobj recommended this 2 years ago

A very cool idea. I could see this in a library during a celebration of books or an art festival.
