Description
~GUH! Daily Deviation! Thank you so much, holy crap. This was something pretty amazing to wake-up to. Thanks again
! I have had a lot of comments about seeing more of the book, so I will try to upload more images of it soon. Also, some people seem to be interested in some journals or sketchbooks like this. If you would like to have that, let me know and I'll do it :3. Here is an example of one I made here . I would appreciate critique, since I am still new at this <3.~
Another school project. This assignment was called "Altered Book", where we took a pre-existing book, tore it apart, and rebuild it according to fit a concept. Since the book I altered (Mister B. Gone) was a horror novel about a possessed book, I used that as my concept and decided to make the book actually seem possessed.
I sewed all of the extra pages so that the book has 15 or so spreads, and used the context of those spreads to convey hidden messages within the imagery and text. The outside of the book is wrapped in a sticky black latex material with embellishments to give it an ancient look. I burnt some pages in the book and splashed it with a musky perfume oil for added effect. I didn't feature all of the pages, because they have a 3D element that doesn't translate well photographed.
The last page featured (the one with the mouth) I constructed to have a sound chip between the pages. When that spread opened, the book would scream at the viewer. People in my class got a kick out of that.

You are amazingly creative!
If this is how the book had been made, it'd be one of the most legendary literature and visual art works.
You should make a deal with Barker

Thanks! Ha, if only. That would be pretty awesome, but I am sure he is far too busy to be browsing though deviant art

Oh, Kneadatite Epoxy might be relative to your interest..

Absolutely fantastic!!
This book inspired me to make my art folio look like an old grimoire.
Many thanks and keep up the brilliant work!!!

Thank you! I hope it turns out well

very strong concept, you could be on to something here it would be cool to find books that had packaging as a amazing as this

Thanks! I really appreciate that. I am going to try and see if I can make more books in this design, and see what happens

Oh that sounds like it would've been such a fun school project! Man i wish my teachers would have been that inventive lol
I really like how you tackled this project, it looks like one of those "alive" books that you can see in fantasy movies and such. Nice touch with the sound chip too, giving a shock to anyone that opens to that page

It was! There were a lot of amazing projects in our class. One guy turned one of those 1950's educational picture books into some Cthulhu thing. It was hilarious XD.
I am glad that came across so well, I worked hard on making it seem like it could be alive. My teacher said I should get some work making movie props like that LOL

People did nickname it that XD
π: 0 β©: 0
I am wondering why it is labeled digital art > mixed when it's a traditional art piece 
Other than that, a very good project
π: 0 β©: 1
Is that what I labeled it? I have no idea why I did that XD, thank you for pointing that out!
Thanks! It was exciting, especially working with various media such as... well fire XD. It was trick to do, but a lot of fun

This is amazing! The Clive Barker's Mister B Gone is one of my favorite stories. Great book modification, I bet it looks better in person.
I love how you put matches in the first pages of the book. BURN THIS BOOK! lol!
π: 0 β©: 1
Thanks! It really does, there are a lot of sensory elements you miss out on just by looking at a picture.
Heehee, oh yes. I figured adding the matches at the beginning would really enforce Mr. B's desire for the reader to burn him. He is actually giving you a helping hand

sound chip. genius.

did you use that sticky rubber pipe repair stuff for this? it looks so perfect! i see it every day so A) it looks like the stuff and 2) that is incredibly creative and perfect.
π: 0 β©: 1
You know, I am not entirely sure what the material actually is XD. It very well could be that stuff. I found a roll of it in my shed outside, and thought it would be perfect for the cover, so voila XD. It ended up being a wonderful find, whatever it is

This is just incredible! So creative! Congrats on the DD!
