GUH! Daily Deviation! Thank you so much, holy crap. This was something pretty amazing to wake-up to. Thanks again :D! 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.

this
is
not
a
joke!
carry
on
reading!
or
you
will
die,
even
if
you
only
looked
at
the
word
warning!


ONCE
THERE
WAS
A
LITTLE
GIRL
CALLED
CLARISSA,
SHE
WAS
10
YEARS
OLD
AND
SHE
LIVED
IN
A
MENTAL
HOSPITAL,
BEACUSE
SHE
KILLED
HER
MUM
AND
DAD.








SHE
GOT
SO
BAD
SHE
STARTED
TO
KILL
ALL
THE
STAFF
IN
THE
HOSPITAL
SO
THE
GOVERMENT
DECIDED
THAT
THE
BEST
IDEA
WAS
TO
GET
RID
OF
HER
SO
THEY
SET
UP
A
SPECIAL
ROOM
TO
KILL
HER,
AS
HUMANE
AS
POSSIBLE
BUT
IT
WENT
RONG
THE
MACHINE
THEY
WERE
USEING
WENT
WRONG.








AND
SHE
WAS
SAT
THERE
IN
AGONY
FOR
HOURS
UNTILL
SHE
FINALLY
DIED.








NOW
EVERY
WEEK
ON
THE
DAY
OF
HER
DEATH
SHE
RETURNS
TO THE
PERSON
THAT
READS
THIS
LETTER,
ON
A
MONDAY
NIGHT
AT
12:00
SHE
KREEPS
INTO
YOUR
ROOM
AND
KILLS
YOU,
BUT
SLOWLY
AND
PAINFULLY
SLOWLY
CUTTING
DIFFRENT
PARTS
OF
UR
BODY
THEN
WATCHES
YOU
BLEED
TO
DEATH
IF
YOU
DONT
SEND
THIS
TO
20
PEOPLE
BY
MIDNIGHT
SHELL
BE
COMEING
TO KILL
YOU!
SEND
IT
SO
SHE
HAS
ANOTHER
LOAD
OF
PEOPLE
TO
GET
AND
FORGETS
ABOUT
YOU
DONT
BELVE ME
HEY?

EXAMPLE
1:
JENNY
DIDNT BELIVE THIS AND DELETED IT WITHOUT EVEN READING THE WHOLE THING! A FEW DAYS LATER ON THE MONDAY NIGHT SHE WAS WOKEN UP BYE LOUDE FOOTSTEPS AND HEAVY BREETHING THERE WAS CLARISSA STANDING THERE WITH A HUGE KNIFE AND WELL JENNY IS HISTORY NOW.









EXAMPLE
2:
TOM
ONLY SENT IT TO 5 PEOPLE CUZ HE THOUGHT HED BE SAFE AND IT WAS PROBLY JUST A JOKE BUT OH HOW RONG WAS HE! HE DIED THE NEXT NIGHT ON MONDAY AND ILL TELL YA NOW IT WASNT PRETTY(JUST CUZ HE SENT FIVE HE DIDNT COMPLETE THE TASK)

EXAMPLE
3:
JOEANNA

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 :B

Thank you. Yes I have looked that material up. I'd like to do more projects involving sculptural elements and materials in the future.
