Unbelievable Celebrity Phone Book Carvings

This is very cool

It seems that your eyes will feel unconfortable when looking at these very closely. From far away is better and really nice.

Loving Barack Obama in it!….

Man, he’s very patient. Very impressive.

It’s awesome too that he placed them so the picture matches where the celebrities’ name would be in the directory! (top right)

That is so cool!!!!!

Alex, is such an amazing artist! Who ever thought to sculpt using phonebooks?

Is the second one Frida Kahlo?..She’s my favorite artist..I didn’t even realize how 3D the carvings were until passing the first two..Awesome work..I love when artists find their own unique mediums to work with..

Thats awesome. I wonder how he gets the pages to stay that have basically been carved away from the binding. Id like to see these in person for sure!

I thought these were some sort of convex intaglio before the sixth… I don’t understand how he is doing this is bas relief… what keeps the top bits from falling away?

truly awesome thanks for sharing! xx

omg that is very amazing

Wow, that is truly incredible dude! I mean serious stuff

I think that is amazing. Obviously the pages are lacquered together somehow, but to even think of such an art, that is truly unique. Love it!

Glue?

I love this kind of art work, but I’m glad there’s a market for it. I only wish my local MoMA had more features like this. They tend to feature alternative art that is too abstract for my taste.

Amazing That,s really interesting

HOLY CRAP! This is some of the coolest art ever. I’ve never thought of this type of art. Some people’s creativity just astounds me!

Ed Rusha in the 60′s did already that.

That’s really incredible! Can’t believe what kind of ideas people have
Thanks for sharing!

I imagine the pages are stuck together before he begins carving, maybe by soaking the book in water & PVA or something..I think it’s a very ingenious re-use of old phone books and very inspiring!

Super 3d artworks, I love it.

So really nice…So cool! Great idea! Congratulations!

wow! how they made it possible? this is amazing!

All democrats. What a waste.

unbelievable !! it’s true that all are political figures still we should appreciate the person or the team who did it.

Best use for phone books EVER!

thanks it’s so amazing

Wow. How do you even do that?

digital artwork looks great, but this one it’s awesome!… it takes pure talent, dedication and patience to accomplish one..

oh by the way.. i forgot to include “weird”

unbelievable carving….awesome…..

This is really something… Amazing craftsmanship.

*Since phonebooks are outdated within six months, this art could technically be considered creative recycling.

you are one talented person! Thank you for sharing. Just one question…how long does it take you to do one?

What’s really cool is the fact that the page that’s solid show you who the image is. Look in the upper right corner at the page range information.

I love these! I actually saw a few of these in the airport (Philly) a few months back!

unbelievable! amazing! really awesome!
Why isn’t this shown on national TV is beyond me.
So much garbage is shown hour after hour after hour.
This is awe inspiring.

Ingenious work! very creative and original, great !!

I dunno; it’s either bad art or bad talent when Willie Nelson looks mean-spirited and President Obama looks modest.

wow very impressive, pactience and lots of tallent, how much money could that cost…
Bravo j’adore witch meens in french congrat’s i realy like it….

…amazing, but i’d like to see more shots from the side…
