For the better part of three decades multidisciplinary artist Guy Laramee has worked as a stage writer, director, composer, a fabricator of musical instruments, a singer, sculptor, painter and writer. Among his sculptural works are two incredible series of carved book landscapes and structures entitled Biblios and The Great Wall, where the dense pages of old books are excavated to reveal serene mountains, plateaus, and ancient structures.
Books and landscapes. I’m in love.
I love finding new people to follow who so enjoy capturing beautiful moments.

“Knock For Knock looks inwards, into memory, into fear and fighting it…”
Legitimately one of the most powerful six minute films I’ve ever seen. Watch it.

The unbreakable record.
Think about this for a moment - imagine riding 330km, just over 200 miles, in a day. On a steel framed bicycle with 4 gears.
Now repeat this the following day. Every day. For over a year.
This is what Tommy Godwin did in 1939. Not only did he set the Year Record for the most distance covered on a bicycle, he kept on going until he reached 100’000 miles.
His effort required riding up to 18 hours a day, sleeping by the roadside where necessary. Upon completing this almost inconceivable ride, he had to re-learn how to walk, and uncurl his hands. A few weeks later, he had joined the RAF.
Dave Barter is now writing a book about this extraordinary feat.
LED light bulb that utilizes soap bubbles for its envelope…
A bubble is brief, and bursts at your touch. But while it lasts, it catches the light and reflects the room like a multi-coloured temporary structure. We wanted to create a constantly changing lamp that combines the most ephemeral of lampshades with an LED light source that will last for 50000 hours. In the time it takes the LED to burn out, the lamp will have had 3 million different globe shades.
