Random Berkeley Artist (Too Cool Not to Blog)

Via boingboing, I stumbled across this Berkeley artist who creates rather amazing furniture and bookshelves out of old books.

As Berkeley students have a habit of decorating their domiciles with the exact same things (Salvador Dali and Animal House posters, lava lamps, and things made out of beer cans for example) I guess I can justify this post as helping to bring nonconformity to the masses. [But really, I just felt like sharing. In case you all haven't noticed yet, during the weekend CalStuff strays away from your more standard news coverage.]

I suspect given some free time, I'm going to attempt something like this over spring break, as I think this is an appropriate way to dispose of some of the old books I have. If that goes remotely well, I'll post an update with some tips on what to do, and some pictures of my finished products.Email This Post!
