The Free Library of Philadelphia blog pointed me to this post at Centripetal Notion: go ask google or wikipedia who Brian Dettmer is and then check out some of his artwork. Blink. I am completely stunned. I can’t stop looking. Amazing. I haven’t had a lot of exposure to altered books (what I’ve seen thus […]

RSS leftovers
