In applying borax crystal to books and magazines, Alexis Arnold turns functional reading material into sculpture. The naturally geometric planes of crystal adhere and warp pages, simultaneously marring and preserving classic and lowbrow titles alike. And hey, if nothing else, crystals are pretty cool. If you’re not afraid of inhaling some chemicals, turns out you can make your own at home.
Chicago’s Paul Octavious creates imaginative and whimsical scenes from household objects and everyday life. His work is full of clever ideas that always make me smile. Make sure to check out his gravity-defying “The Book Collection” where he plays a literary Jenga to spell out words and numbers.
See more of Paul’s work at his website and below the jump. Then see how many books you can stack up.

David Mascha, an artist based in Vienna, Austria, has been working with different design studios since 2005. He has also done work for international clients, print magazines, fashion and design labels, and books. David has also had work displayed in exhibitions in Asia and Europe. I really like his diverse but defined style. Every piece he does is bold in its own way.
