Pop-Up Pin-Up Art Edit
From Vintage Books into Modern Mini Masterpieces

It appears that the economy is shaking the art world.  Artist Thomas Allen is cutting back on his art supply costs—literally. His tools? A razor blade and an old book. Allen’s new work, which is being featured at the Foley Gallery in New York City, is a series of pop-up images derived from various vintage books.

My question is this: Did Allen use the Harlequins because of the interesting imagery or because they were the only ones he could bear to hack up? Just a thought. 

Either way, this spin on vintage meets modern and pin-up meets pop-up is right up my artistic alley.
