Books As Art. Not Writing As Art. Books As Art!





Books as the bookshelves, a crossing of lines. This reminds me of the Robot Nine post of images of colored pencils where the photograph was the art, rather than making art with the pencils.

Book stacks as canvas.

Sit a while and enjoy reading a book from my library chair.


The best coffee table book ever unfolds to reveal a working lamp.


Creepy, like some magic trick gone awry, the sculpture of a man created from book pages and sliced into a multitude of sections.



The above three are all books carved and cut into amazingly sophisticated and beautiful pieces.


Nicely done paper cutting art displayed well in small glass fromt boxes.

Alice In Wonderland comes to life.



The three wonderful creations above were made for the Anagram Bookshop in Prague, Checkoslovakia. Precious little information is on the website but it is linked in the sources at the end of the post anyway.



Books as giant indoor sculptures that can actually be walked thorough. Let's hope the artist used some amazing glue to do this!

You are using a couple images of my artwork without attribution. I am sort of used to that but you've linked them to another product which really irks me.
I make the bookshelves. Please provide attribution to This Into That / Jim Rosenau and link to my site, www.thisintothat.com. Or, if you prefer, remove my work from your site.
