Book Collection Turns Into Amazing Art

James Trevino describes himself as bookstagrammer and is a big fan of PJO, HP, and LOTR. He became famous by creating an incredible art out of his massive book collection.

According to Trevino, the idea “just sort of happened.”

“At first I was posting pictures of my then current reads. With time, the photos got more and more complex, influenced mostly by pop culture and sometimes by certain pictures I saw on Instagram,” he said. “First, there is the brainstorming I do with my good friend Elizabeth. Then, once we have a general idea, me and Liz try to bring it as close as possible to our vision. If the concept proves to be too large to capture in a single frame, we combine two or more photos in post editing.”

While there are many literary themes to choose from, they lean in favor of his two favorite books, Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince by J.K. Rowling and The Silmarillion by JRR Tolkien. Now, he has more than 1k books in his library and he has no plan of slowing down. His creations, for now, are just a hobby, he told Bored Panda. “The fact that the reactions have been so positive is a bit overwhelming, but also heartwarming.”
