Corpus Libris is an interesting series of humor photographs created by Emily Pullen who is manager of WORD bookstore in Brooklyn, New York. She has begun to have fun with book covers before other employees and customers started to make their own pictures!
‘’It began as a fun little photo essay on a Thursday night while working at Skylight Books in Los Angeles. As we kept going and going, I realized that many, many more people could enjoy and create similar photographs. The possibilities are practically endless!’’ via- corpuslibris.blogspot.com
Imagine a tale of romance on a book cover and a real hand extending from it, holding a rose. Or a thriller novel where a participant’s eye peers ominously from behind the title. It’s not just about merging with images but also resonating with the story the cover tells. It is something like bringing books to life! Check out some examples below.

The Essence of Creative Artistry
At its heart, what truly is a creative art style? It’s more than just unique brush strokes on canvas or distinctive notes in a melody. Creative art style is the essence of an artist’s soul, a tangible manifestation of their perspective on the world. It’s the ability to see the mundane in a revolutionary light, to find magic in the everyday, and to tell stories that resonate universally.
While optical illusions and book covers like in the Corpus Libris project may employ techniques and tools, the real magic lies in the interpretation. How an artist sees the world, feels about it, and subsequently, portrays it is the bedrock of creative artistry. It’s not just about aesthetics but emotions, not just perception but passion. In the vast tapestry of human expression, every artist weaves their unique thread, creating a mosaic of experiences, stories, and legacies.
