Anna's post on organizing books reminded me of the artwork of Stanford Kay — acrylic paintings of books shelved, books stacked and books piled.
Both paintings and books are vessels for ideas, experience and memory. The books we read and the paintings we love and choose to live with, define us. A book requires the reader to assemble images and ideas out of its signs and symbols. Likewise, a painting asks that you translate its strokes and drips into reason and emotion. — Stanford Kay

This is a very interesting idea. And I have a librarian friend who'd be tickled by it.
Aww, so pretty!
I feel like all my posts have been bitchy today, possibly because I'm pms'ing, but I just have to comment: These look like public library wallpapers circa 1987.
I love these. Does anyone know price range for one of these pieces?
ditto with the @katnyc price range question. Love these.
I am in love! Reminds me of my art file in primary school I decorated as a shelf of books. Also reminds me of this:
