Anyone who sets a glass on the arm of a chair like that has zero fucks to give.

Truly amazing work OP. I just snooped your other pieces and you’re quite gifted.

Haha thank you! I too would run out of fucks if I was trying to read Proust.

Library is not alphabetized and so Skeleton doesn't seem very pretentious at all. Just seems like it knows the best way to spend it's time.

You're not wrong and I am probably judgemental of people who read Proust.

Why's that? Genuinely curious, not a trap or anything. I've never read Proust

mtomsky OP t1_iyelq5p wrote

In all honesty I'm not but it's one of those books that people wheel out to impress people. Famous one for people starting it and not finishing, very long and philosophical.

If was pretentious I would know the difference between 'it's' and 'its'. Wait a second...

(I may actually be the pretentious redditor, but I'm too high on drugs to know for sure, either way my opinion is probably garbage and to be disregarded.)

Edit to laugh at my own horrible grammar.

Wait, but that would mean I'm pretentious!

All of our illusions of intelligence are beginning to falter. The old crone warned me of this!

I feel like this would go well with The Raven.

mtomsky OP t1_iyechhg wrote

Definitely although the book is more like the size of a collected works of Poe.

Well he has many a quaint and curious volume of forgotten lore upon which to ponder.

Each layer is laser cut separately and it's all assembled by hand

Do you sell pieces and if so have a site I could take a gander way?

__room101__ t1_iyeteis wrote

Of all the books on the shelves, Skeleton reads Proust. Great work OP!

Jaedos t1_iyex0rs wrote

Do you make your own designs or is there somewhere that sells these kinds of multi-layer files? I really like this aesthetic.

2

mtomsky OP t1_iyeyj7w wrote

Thank you, I design everything I make myself.

Jo_Doc2505 t1_iyexthc wrote

Did you make this from scratch or as a kit? BECAUSE I WANT ONE!!@@@@@

mtomsky OP t1_iyeyek3 wrote

I designed and made this from scratch

Jo_Doc2505 t1_iyezj3p wrote

It's awesome! Encapsulates my love of reading and all things gothic. The only thing similar that I've made is a miniature bookshop (whisper, from a kit)

mtomsky OP t1_iyezwr2 wrote

Thank you!

Jo_Doc2505 t1_iyf0ew5 wrote

In fact...could I maybe print your picture and see if I could somehow include in my shop? I'll PM you some pics of my project and you must totally say no if you don't like the idea

I was thinking about a skeleton reading in my shopbook shops

Jo_Doc2505 t1_iyf3x8k wrote

I wrote this bf I realised you had a fully fledged business thing going on so I apologise for asking for a 'wee printout'! 😳

mtomsky OP t1_iyf4mbx wrote

Honestly your bookshop is super cool, if it's literally just a tiny print to hang in your bookshop I'm happy for you to do that!

Jo_Doc2505 t1_iyf59mu wrote

Fab! I'll play around with it and send you anything bf I use it. You're a superstar! Come back to me if you every need 87 tiny books in a rush!💀 💀 📚 💜

mtomsky OP t1_iyf5itb wrote

I'll definitely keep you in mind if I do!

Jo_Doc2505 t1_iyf6ltm wrote

Would it be rude to ask the price of this piece?

LoveVirginiaTech t1_iyf3l6a wrote

A bit more than "mildly" pretentious, but this work is a delight and I applaud your craftsmanship!

Both the smoke and the drink wouldn't reach his lungs or stomach (assuming he also has a mouth). Just sayin'.
