Artist Kyle Kirkpatrick has created these wonderfully tiny dioramas using the topographies of carved books.

Illuminated books installation by Korean artist Airan Kang. LED lights inside amazing book-shaped sculptures were programmed to continually change brightness and colors.

Notes from the artist’s page:

[...] “Each of Kangs unique book covers are modified appropriations of the original covers rather than an exact replica. The hyper books are then arranged in stacks to show Kangs growing interest in the relationship between text and the imagined literary space that the texts represent. This is further asserted as quoted text from each books in LED scrolls across the surface, making the information contained readily available and accessible to the viewer. Thus the content of each book is automatically visible, suggesting an ultramodern view of knowledge and intellect that is predetermined and entitled, rather than learned over time.”

Artist Combo created a series of amazing street art in Paris, where disney characters and video games characters are embedded in images.

A series of photograph called “Day Into Night” by Stephen Wilkes.

Incredible sculptural work of Canadian artist Maskull Lasserre. He carves humans and animals skeletal features into wooden objects.

Notes from the aritst’s page:

Lasserre’s drawings and sculptures explore the unexpected potential of the everyday and its associated structures of authority, class, and value. Elements of nostalgia, allegory, humor, and the macabre are incorporated into works that induce strangeness in the familiar, and provoke uncertainty in the expected.

Amazing paper artwork created by Brittney Lee. Two Harry Potter pieces are currently on display at Gallery Nucleus in Alhambra, CA.

Notes from Brittney Lee’s Blog:

“I am definitely a Potter fan. When the nice folks at Gallery Nucleus asked me if I would be interested in participating in a Harry Potter Tribute Show that would take place one week before the final film opened, I must confess that I had to suppress a squeal of joy. It was really difficult for me to choose what to illustrate, but in the end there were two moments that I decided to try to capture.

This first piece is my take on little Harry introducing his Snowy Owl, Hedwig, to the Owlry at Hogwarts. I thought it would be fun to illustrate these two unlikely friends, as well as all of the different owl personalities that shuttle messages to and from Hogwarts.”
