These beautiful pillows by design firm Atelier Punkt in Montréal are constructed from felt and translucent tarp and then stuffed with shredded yellow paper. Each pillow is meant to represent a standard American paper size: letter, legal, and tabloid. If all goes as planned the pillows will soon be available from the Rita Boutique. (via dude craft)
This video was shot on 294 walls in four different Turkish cities. If you’re impatient skip ahead to about 1:00 for the good stuff. (via wooster)
Enjoying these folded book sculptures by photographer Cara Barer.
With the discarded books that I have acquired, I am attempting to blur the line between objects, sculpture, and photography. This project has become a journey that continues to evolve. [...] No important books have been injured during the making of any of these photographs.
She also has a self-published book of the images if you’re interested. (via not cot)
New work from French illustrator Florian Nicolle who layers ink, paper, paint and some subtle Photoshop editing to create these wonderfully messy images. Many more images and an interesting “step by step” over on Behance. (via in freaks we trust)
This is a mixed media piece by Mark Bulford over at Factory Magazine that seems to have stopped publication back in September after some 40 kick-ass projects. A pity.
New work from Paris-based Le Creative Sweatshop that does things the old fashioned way using paper, glue, sweat, blood, and probably some tears. I also really, really love this cover for Mamz’hell. Even more stuff over on Behance.
