Today, we’re excited to introduce you to the exquisite art of The Book Master, a passionate team of artists dedicated to creating unique, handmade sculptures by combining art and recycling. Using mostly recycled books, each fold is meticulously crafted, adding a touch of originality to each piece while promoting eco-friendly art.
Most of the sculptures created by The Book Master feature iconic characters from movies and cartoons. Others are inspired by popular logos, and some are custom designs made specifically for client orders.

In the, "Yes ... But" fashion, I would say, "This is an impressive work but shouldn't we rather read them than burn or carve them?"
Bored Panda contacted the artist from the ‘Book Master’ team and asked a few questions about their work. We were curious about what inspired the project to focus on these unique book sculptures. They shared with us: “I have always been a big fan of art made from recycled objects. One day I saw a finished project and thought I must know how to do that. Initially, I started with simple things and over time, more and more complex.”
We were also wondering about how the creative process behind these complex designs works. Here’s what we found out: “I work on software such as Photoshop to draw my designs. Then I just use a ruler, pencil and chisel.”
The artist then shared more about how their work challenges the traditional perception of books and reading in today’s digital age: “Today, everything is digital, everything is connected. Many people no longer take the time to read a book, or even look at it. It's a way for me to give a second life to these, and it makes a lot of people react.”
Lastly, we asked the ‘Book Master’ artist to tell us what particular themes or messages they hope to convey through their sculptures. We learned that: “I work more and more on popular themes, on personalities who inspire me. And I also try to follow the news to prepare my projects.”
I may be dumb, but who is this? Long-haired Obama?
That's amazing, I love it! I would recommend to visit the artist's Insta page, they have time lapses of some of the books being done, it's mesmerising!
Wow, this is really intriguing. Captivating. Innovative. And creative. More like this, please, Bored Panda.
Agreed! This is much better than copy and pastes of AskReddit posts!
