Artist's Comments
This is my favorite page. Altered books were first introduced to me last year by my 2D art teacher. This is a page from that first completed book.
-altered book, is where you find an old book at say a yard sale, goodwill, in your basement, that you don't like anymore and you alter it. Use magazine scraps, cut out pages, make drawers, compartments, whatever. It's the best fun you can have while freaking out your english teachers.- It has a rather humorous touch to it as you can see with the poor boy crying. The pages on the left are layered torn pages sewn together. There's an window with those neato 'do not eat' packets and a nice jiggy with black watercolor and masking tape. post mod podge |

 reports, 1d 4h agoDaily Literature Deviations is a group that is dedicated to bringing literature to the forefront of the deviantArt community. We attempt to accomplish this by daily featuring Literature artists from around the community that deserve the recognition, but are not getting it. Each day we will feature 5 deviations from the Literature categories in a News Article. In order to support the artists that we feature, we ask that you  the news article as well as check out the individual pieces. We understand that each day you may not be able to check out each and every one of the pieces, everyone has their own things going on. We just ask that you make an attempt to help support the growing Literature community. |

I believe in the imagination. What I cannot see is infinitely more important than what I can see.

I've been doing ab's for a couple of years now with this group in my town. I like the feel of the black water colors. That's really cool, I'll have to experiment with that one of these days.
Good Job!!!

And I love that you've finally figured out what to do with those do not eat packets, haha!
Question for you: How do you manage to photograph the thing so nicely? My attempts to photograph mine were horrendous and I finally had to just go with the less terrible of the several shots I took. Any tips you have for that would be greatly appreciated.

Well the photo for this one was a scanner, which I wish I had one now. The books I used were small enough so I'd get a nice copy. The black background is actually from not closing it.
I hate how my digital camera has flash. >< When I turn it off it just makes it nearly impossible to take a decent photo without it blurring. So I find taking photos outside in the shade much bearable.
I hope that helps a little. ^^

I might try outside. I'll have to remember in the daylight (which is hard for a night owl)
