lol…i really like these….when i was a little brat i had a book with buildings that would pop out on every page when you opened it.
BRINGS NEW MEANING TO “A PICTURE IS WORTH A THOUSAND WORDS”
Sweeeeeet.
That’s crazy. In my Art 117 class (3D Design) we are working on planar forms, so for our projects, we are creating designs out of the pages of books. It’s a small world, ah?
Beautiful…I’d probably squish it by accident

Wow, thanks. That was pretty amazing.
The one taken from Donne’s Extasie is beautiful.
I was thinking the same thing. It’s simpler than some of the others, but it’s so simply and tastefully done that I can’t help but keep looking at it.
Yup absolutely. And the combination of the text and the image- wow. The Exstasie’s vision of consummated love- s’all there in what’s basically a very beautiful pair of cutout dolls. Sometimes simple works best, huh?
Couldn’t agree more!
So cool, but it kind of makes me sad, as a hardcore book lover to see old books, like the Alice in Wonderland all cut up ;_;
Took the words right out of my mouth. Maybe if it was the Tax Code or something, though… :P
Reminds me of this artist I found ’bout a year ago. Really neat. I think I actually saw it on Digg, but don’t remember now. You may like it:

wow….that’s serious dedication to an art piece…very cool.
I have a semester project similar to that in my Foundations class… its nice to see how one can expand text beyond the pages. :)
