Here’s a new addition for the Department of Awesome Book Art:

Delta, Pennsylvania-based artist Jodi Harvey-Brown (aka DeviantArtist wetcanvas) transforms the pages of books into three-dimensional sculptures illustrating scenes from within those very books. Her altered books entice readers to pick them up and turn their pages offering glimpses of their stories. Moby Dick breaks the choppy ocean surface pursued by mad Captain Ahab on the Pequod. Mr. Rat and Mr. Mole row across the pond on the pages of The Wind in the Willows and Alice climbs onto the fireplace mantle, about to pass Through the Looking-Glass.

Visit Jodi Harvey-Brown’s website and DeviantArt page to check out more of her fanstastic book sculptures, some of which are available for purchase via her WetCanvasArt Etsy shop. She also accepts custom commissions.
