Phonebook carvings by Cuban artist Alex Queral. Finally, somebody put phonebooks to good use.

Taking an ordinary phone book, Alex Queral carves a face into this object of so many faceless names. With the book, a very sharp X-ACTO® knife, a little pot of acrylic medium to set detail areas and a great deal of talent, Queral literally peels away the pages like the skin of an onion to reveal the portrait within.

The first line describes this art style exactly… Finally, someone put phonebooks to good use! This is incredible.
