Whimsical Watercolor Works Depict Books As People Going About Everyday Life





If you are a bookworm, you would probably love Jonathan Wolstenholme’s paintings, in which he imagines a world populated by human-like books.



Mesmerized by antiquarian books and trinkets with historical significance, the British illustrator’s watercolour paintings eerily reflect the human spirit in these normally static objects.



From anthropomorphic books switching “jackets” to violent tomes fighting it out by ripping each other’s pages, these creepily life-like illustrations will definitely fascinate the viewer, regardless of whether he is a book-lover or not.



Scroll down to take a walk in Wolstenholme’s surreal world of books.
