“Let us read, and let us dance; these two amusements will never do any harm to the world.” ~ Voltaire
Paper cut out letters: Each word, each letter is cut out intricately with precision by Annie Vought.
Absolutely fabulous!
Vintage Book Art by Thomas Allen
“Thomas Allen uses careful book selection and a knife to create stunning photography setups that break out from the page.”
Admiring the workmanship.
British artist Jonathan Callan makes large scale sculptures out of used/vintage books held together by large screws.
This would have to be a really, really bad book, somehow improved by the re-use.
Beautiful things to do with a book.

I am really diggin’ this stuff for some reason! I think part of its attraction is the juxtaposition of my intuitive reaction to books being cut up (egads!) to my appreciative reaction of not only the results, but the meticulous care taken in the development. Please make sure you visit this gentleman’s site and read his statement, too.
