El Paso-based artist Isaac Salazar folds and cuts the pages of books to create word and images. Here's the story of how he started in the craft, as told by his wife Veronica:
In 2000, we went house hunting and saw a model home that displayed some book art. They were very simple, kind of like the Readers Digest Christmas Trees, but a bit different. We loved them... so i immediately went home to make our own for the guest bedroom. We have since moved and I needed some new art for our guest bedroom when my husband asked if we can fold "WELCOME" into the book. I thought it was too complicated and told him ~ "I don't know, why don't you try"... and viola... he creates the masterpieces and I list & manage our Etsy shop.

I know sometimes, late at night when I close the fridge door from the side, I half expect someone to be standing behind it staring at me.
Now in my entire life, I've never had anything like that happen, but I've seen it so many times in horror movies that it puts me on edge sometimes.
It's never happened to me before, but still have that fear that when I close the fridge door, someone is going to be standing behind it. Pretty hilarious
This guy scares me. "Live for the day?" "Try to leave the earth as it was before you stepped on it?" Maybe he has mental problems. Go easy on him.
