The next stage in book arts

]]> Dark Roasted Blend has compiled some images and impressions of some truly cutting edge (NO pun intended) book artists.  These are the artists who outrage some others with their sacrilege…

Yeah, ok, just drive through the alley behind a bookstore sometime, and you’ll see the “sacrilege” of hundreds of books wasted in the dumpster.  Even though schools, libraries, and bookstores are getting better and better at recycling, why not have spare books be used for art instead?

I’ve always particularly liked Brian Dettmer’s work, which is included, and you’ll find Thomas Allen there too, one we’ve talked about here recently.
