Man Turns His Massive Book Collection into Works of Art

James Trevino is a young man from Romania who took his love for books to a whole other level. After acquiring a massive book collection over the years, this 24-year-old figured it would be waste to leave them just sitting on the shelf. So he decided to turn them into works of art.

Trevino, who calls himself bookstagrammer, uses the books from his collection to create entertaining scenes that he then shares with more than 200K of his Instagram followers. After experimenting with self-portraits that showed him with wings made of books, he proceeded on with creating a lot more elaborate scenes which often include pop-culture motifs.

“We usually bring out the books, we put them on the floor, and we do at first a few pics without me in them to see if they fit all right and all that stuff, and then finally we take about 100 shots and we hope one of them is good. And the whole process takes about, I don’t know, two to three hours per pic.” – Trevino describes his process.
