Vibrant Illustrations Pop-Up From Vintage Books

Familiar Garden Flowers by F. Edward Hulme





Artist Kerry Miller turns old books into three-dimensional artworks that leap off the covers.



Using the illustrations from the pages, Miller uses watercolour and ink to transform them into pop-up scenes, making the book come to life.



Previously deemed old and useless, these books now have a new lease of life and now remind us of the various worlds that books hold.
