Art: Jimmy Turrell is a graphic artist from New Castle. Sometime in 2016, he bought over a 1000 books from ebay and later on got to know that they were rescued in time, else they would have been in the dumpyard. It was a harrowing day for the artist, since he received many boxes of books and it took him a year to sort them out. He decided to use the best quotes from the books and page covers as stunning pieces of artworks. Some of the books he rescued was as old as 1920's skiing manuals to books which belonged to a norwegian royal family. He randomly selected the quotes and printed art on them to make them look amazing. He has released the first series of the book art and it's aptly named as 'Unforsaken Part 1". The artist goes on to say that it's still a work in progress. Well, the first part has absolutely blown away our minds and we just can't wait to see what happens in the next series.
