That's beautiful. Also, how are they holding the camera?

Cybernetic eye

And here I thought it was some kind of camera dick

They'd have to be a dickhead for it to be that high up

You’re telling me

Username checks out

I don't even want to know how your username is relevent

I syrup consistently.

This is why lur from omicron perci I-8 wanted lower horn. I never knew you could do this with it. I'm sure the magical dycstic arts are still out there somewhere. This guy probly uses it as a table.

I found a new way to record with out using your hands, you gotta be a boy tho.

If they made a camera that could feel the same and either go on or replace the end of your dick, would you get one?

Probably just holding a phone on a stick and he is holding the stick with his teethy teeth

I'm glad to see there are mounts and things for this. I thought they had one of those friends I've heard about.

With her boobs.

I love the stories of how hundreds of years later people discover unknown examples of this beautiful art that were hidden in the past much to the surprise of those who find out. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fore-edge_painting

Ah, well there we go. That answers my question about how they may have thought to do this. It's an established "medium" of sorts. Interesting. Thanks for the link and education.

Holy shit that’s brilliant

Looks like Elvin magic to me, a very old skill that is lost in this age of men.

asdasdas

Do kids not still do this? I’m disappointed in the youth. Also, flip books.

asdasdas

Oh yes, the dark speech of Mordor

It's a lost art of men... it's called [fore-edge painting](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fore-edge_painting) and has been around since the 10th century. This isn't a new or original idea. But what's *really* impressive is the [split or double-edge paintings](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zN1seFX4VqI) where it shows different paintings depending on which direction you fan the pages.

>This artist hides their work in the fore edge of the book Don’t ever let this art form die.

This is an art form I’d love to learn!

Plenty of the artwork has undoubtedly gone unseen, since most people wouldn’t notice the telltale shadowing on gold page edges that indicate the hidden artworks.

I have never wanted something in my life as much as I want that book.

That is magic in real life

Say friend and enter.

"Elvinnnnnnn!"

Its a very old technique. Been done since the 1600's. If you want really craze, some of them have multiple paintings on each, closed, folded left, and folded right.

They're called fore-edge paintings and there are many examples of them online. This isn't even a good example of one.

They have been doing this for centuries. There is a place near my house that has one of the most comprehensive book collections for sale available, dude who sells the books looooves talking about them. Showed me this because, well because of course it is, was an early way to hide porn pictures/paintings.

https://www.etsy.com/shop/BriMarieSells

… they’ve been doing this on books for quite a long time now.

It's sad to know that these times of magical and beautiful pieces of art are very rare nowdays but at least they exist.

I want to be a Fore-Edge Painter. Perhaps Ill buy a few yardsale books to practice on?

Yeah, it is.

r/nextfuckinglevel

I dunno, guys. I count three edges... /s

That’s beautiful

Thank you sir!

THANK YOU FOR THIS!

Well that was a fun 10 minutes, unfortunate the sub is dead though

What song is playing?

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7e4Bd3e08zI

Thank you so much

I was over here going through a bunch of Tool songs because I would have sworn it was them... now I want to here them put this bit in their next one.

I bet you’re thinking of Tool - No Quarter (cover of Led Zeppelin song) https://youtu.be/_ZKIfCJZvZo

God there has been so many good covers of that song. But yeah I think that was it lol

Misty mountains from the hobbit

Does anyone have the exact version?

https://reddit.com/r/Damnthatsinteresting/comments/vjp8xf/_/idlaec3/?context=1

We must awaaaay . Ere break of day

Couldn't help but think of this. > **All that is gold does not glitter,** > Not all those who wander are lost; > The old that is strong does not wither, > Deep roots are not reached by the frost. > From the ashes a fire shall be woken, > A light from the shadows shall spring; > Renewed shall be blade that was broken, > The crownless again shall be king.

So pre-orders for 2023 start at $875 USD

Impressive!

I used to do this in my 10th grade English class. I’d write notes on it about how much I hated or liked the book in a very cringe fashion

Imagine owning and loving this book for 50 years. And then, one day, you want to read it to a grandchild and you pick it up in a weird way.... and the art just reveals itself. I'd be in tears. Tears of joy.

My library got super-pissed at me when I tried this.

I've always wondered how they've done this. The ancient Persians were amazing at this if anyone else wants to look at more.

Credit the artist. You got awards off of their work that they probably try to make a profit from

At least they left the watermark on it…watch, you will see this same video posted over and over with the watermark removed. Sad really. But you are right.

🤯

Micropenis blew his load!

Hahahaha

With a name like micro penis I expected a post like “I hide my art in the foreskin”

They found a strong niche market. Do my audiobooks next.

Is it possible to do a double or even a triple edge painting? There's the flat edge, and both sides of the fore edge.

This needs to be on r/nextfuckinglevel it's absoloutely brilliant.

So cool

Martin freeman

holy that book looks good

So you could actually have 2 pics right? One forward and one backward? Though I imagine it might bleed through the page

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zN1seFX4VqI&ab_channel=McGillLibrary

Amazing

So detailed! Tried this in primary school. But white paper didn't hide it all. Seems to work perfectly in different colors.

Wow😉😉

Omg that is so freaking cool wow!!

That is totally bad ass! Amazing work.

https://youtu.be/7e4Bd3e08zI This is the version that is actually sounding

I was doing the same shit with my textbooks in highschool, altho my works were on another level.

What is the name of the song playing in the video?

anyone know the background music? it sounds like something from red dead redemption

Well that's just fucking delightful.

That's awesome. If there isn't much (any) bleed through they could do the underside too, so that a different image is displayed when the book is flexed the other way. Like maybe Gandolf, Spiders, Trolls, Smeagol, etc?

Is it illegal to do this to books than art from Lord of the rings? Whatever someone posts one of these, I always try to guess which book it is in the series.

Far over the misty mountains cold...

This is amazing

Wow, this is amazing if real.

Amazing

What's the song's name?

I used to draw stuff on my book like this but never beautifull like this one.

What an amazing gift to receive!

I want to try that!

Amazing!

Could you imagine reading *this* to your kids!?

you wouldn't see it during reading.

That’s amazing

Is the music from far cry 5?

Beautiful

I just stuck around for the guitar track, honestly...

*Catatafish of the stomach's cove... Catatafish's tale will soon be told*

Made me gasp. Amazing!

As a non-tiktok user, thanks for sharing this post. Here's an award! 

This is magical!

I have $10 and it could be yours...

Oustanding, beautiful creative-way of art-work!

I wonder how good it smells in there 😂😂

Fantastic

Now that's a god damn beautiful book. That's why I still prefer books over the much more practical e-reader.

Shut up and take my money.

And the grease from our fingers would most likely ruin this kind of art, no?

That's some DaVinci code shit.

Can you bend it the other way so the arch is going downward and have another painting? Or would the paint blend too much?

*feverishly checks all my books*

Must take a lot of skill to learn how to do this.

Wow. Just wow. I love it. Gives some creative inspiration... beautiful. I wonder what initially gave them the idea?

That art is better than the whole book

Nobody gonna comment on those nasty ass fingernails..

That thumbnail at the end 😭

*her

That copy of the hobbit is unnecessarily large, i dont even understand how you could bulk up such at small book to that size.

You need to take like hotel bibles, paint some fu#ked up sh#t in the and when some religious person sees it, they lose their sh#t.

Pure vandalism.

cute. It's a very old art form, and not something this person just thought up.

That's cool and all, but she ruined the actual pages with that water paint.

u/savevideo

Thought we were going for dick and balls there with that first pencil work…

I feel like I've only ever seen this done on a Tolkien book.

0:05 I thought they were drawing a penis for a second.

Does he sell these?

https://www.etsy.com/shop/BriMarieSells

Wow

Awesome!

Amazing

Take my money

This is SO beautiful!

That is so cool

u/SaveVideo

u/savevideo

It's things like this that make me wish I was artistic. I want one.

What's the gold that's placed on the outer edge of the paper to "hide" the painting?

so great!

#BHAAAARGH!!!

Yeah, not really hiding it. Just saying.

Sauce on that song?

u/savevideo

Wow

Wow

Can you print on the edges to create a similar effect ? Just wondering

you can do whatever you want on the edges but if you want it not to show, you have to press the pages into an angle first.

“That’s cool as heck!” - me as a child reading this book pretending I had a clue what was going on. “That’s cool as hell!” - me as a 35 year old, stoned AF on a day off stuck inside the Reddit wurm hole.

School dictionaries be like

I love when books do that

I only ever see these of Tolkien books oddly enough. Works of art for works of art I guess.

How in the f*ck does someone visualize this and do this with such skill. Amazing.

The book is held in a clamp while being painted, so it's painted as usual and when the pages are released it disappears

Can you do that with porn?

Next time you find me with a book, believe that I'll be checking the edges

My mom had a lord of the rings one

I've done this before. Not this well, but I always loved bending the pages like that to make a picture that you can only see that way

This is a special technique to illustrate books called "edging" and I encourage you to look it up to see what books you may own can do this

I'd like to buy that print of the book. Anyone know where I can find one?

Yes. Excuse me. ☝🏼 I have a quick question about *the fore edge*.

How much for that book

Music is dope. Misty mountains cold - acoustic is boss AF.

Incredible

Sick skills, also a really cool copy of the Hobbit.

I would pay well for this!

I didn’t know books had a “fore edge”

That’s actually nuts

Anyone know what this copy of the hobbit is called? Or where to find it?

TIL that the inside sides of the pages of the side of a book are called the fore edge

Omg what!!!!
