The joy of reading has a lot to do with combining your imagination with an author's description of a fantasy land or character in order to build a detailed mental image, but these Spineless Classics prints are using the text of some of our favorite childhood and adult stories to literally twist written texts into artwork.
Using only the finely printed words of classics like The Hobbit, Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone and The Jungle Book, these Spineless Classics prints mold these famous authors' words into the actual shapes of iconic imagery and characters that the world has become so fond of.
While some posters feature simple designs stretching across the entire canvas, creations like The Jungle Book poster cleverly uses white space to create stark juxtapositions while simultaneously paying tribute to these classic works of literature.
