Isaac Salazar from El Paso discovered the artist within him during house hunting for himself when he saw a book art similar to Reader's Digest Christmas tree. This triggered curiosity and the dormant artist within him decided to give book origami a shot.
"I first started off doing simple letters, alternating pages for each fold but now I am doing more complex and intricate fonts." shares Isaac.
Have a look at some of the many artistic creations by Isaac which is bound to invoke inspiration:
Isaac Salazar in his own words:
"I am someone who has never taken an art class in my life but have stumbled upon making Book Art/Book Origami. I didn't think I had an artistic bone in my body and never thought of myself as creative. I had seen the Reader's Digest Christmas trees and wondered if it was possible to create a different design or use words.
I use simple arithmetic and an exacto knife as my supplies along with lots of time. It takes me anywhere from a day for the simpler styles to 2 weeks for the more complex styles. My inspiration comes from multiple things and places. I can browse the used book section for titles that stand out to me. Rarely do I use new books, unless I am commissioned to. I like to watch Planet Green, and am into alternative energy, recycling and re-purposing so it's a good feeling to know my art can contribute to reducing waste."
