New Life

In the Weird returns to its roots! Today, we showcase an artist working in the medium of strange. In this case, we laud him not only for his artistic ability, but for the green quality of his oeuvre, which is hand-crafted exclusively from discarded phone books. Artist Alex Queral soaks these ubiquitous and antiquated relics of a world without on-demand information in water to stick the pages together, then carves the faces of famous men and women into the hard, pulpy mass, using a scalpel.
