James Trevino, a “bookstagrammer" poses with books to inspire more people to read. With a shelf arranged creatively, he pulls from his collection and transforms the texts into imaginative displays. /VCG Photo

Trevino regularly creates entire landscapes out of books that envision himself as a lifeguard, magician, and pirate. With each book acting like a stroke of paint, they produce images that are best viewed from above. /VCG Photo

Many of his ideas are inspired by popular culture as they pay homage to the literature that inspires them. Lord of the Ring, Game of Thrones, Pokémon, and Star Wars are frequent references in his work. /VCG Photo

With a massive collection of books— which was mostly bought by himself and inherited from his parents, it’s easy for Trevino to get the perfect color schemes for his book art. /VCG Photo
