Photographer Wes Naman created a sequel by inviting folks from his local, Albuquerque music scene to visit his studio for headshots…on one condition: They had to contort themselves with rubber bands strapped around their otherwise lovely physiognomies. The results are grotesquely amusing…

London-based artist Jonathan Wolstenholme's love of literature has inspired him to create a number of whimsical watercolor paintings depicting books with their own set of arms and hands.

The personified volumes of printed words can be seen engaging in the sorts of activities you'd imagine the scholarly type from classic fiction to be doing like writing with a glass of wine in one hand or smoking a pipe while playing a round of dominos with a fellow bookish intellectual. Wolstenholme even whimsically titles each of his paintings with a clever play on words. In this series, a "literary slip" is a humanized book actually slipping on an ill-placed banana peel.

Each flicker seems to signify a sense of life and movement.
