You’ve probably seen a carving book before, but Long-Bin Chen, who clearly has aunique work of art from the field. Taiwan artist, Chen Long Bin, using old books to create sculptures that are very detailed which makes them look like statues from themarble or wood. Despite all his work is made of several books, he carved them all in such a way that fits with the size of the book together with finely carved.

While he could use the tomes that can be carved, Long-Bin Chen uses only ordinary books to sculpt the statue. For example,  for a statue of Buddha carved head, he uses books Number from the New York. This carving is dedicated to awareness of the Buddha in the East region who travel out west. These books are purchased from the garbage collector or collected directly from the streets, books and magazines that first carved by a machine with a sinzo and then with the drain teeth rope, to get a better piece.
