Seeing faces

Lots of people see faces in everything and sometimes even collect pictures of it. This book shows a lot of these great finds.

Brian Dettmer

American artist Brian Dettmer's work is created by altering books, including older dictionaries, encyclopedias, textbooks, science and engineering books, art books, medical guides, history books, atlases, comic books, wallpaper sample books, and others. Dettmer seals and cuts into the books, exposing select images and text to create intricate three-dimensional derivative works that reveal new or alternative interpretations of the books. Dettmer never inserts or moves any of the books' contents. (Source: Wikipedia)

 Last Friday's catch.

Auntie Pau

Aunt Pau's picturebook is a great selection of vintage Dutch illustrations and stories. This book is from the sixties, but the original illustrations are much older.
