When artist Thomas Allen was ask to make works for Baltimore ’s Charlotte R. Bloomberg Children ’s Center and Johns Hopkins Hospital , he created these wonderful three - dimensional renditions of the cast of two tiddler ’s classics , The Phantom Tollbooth and Stuart Little . Using sometime books , Allen made these cherished characters literally jump off the Thomas Nelson Page . ExplainsAllen of his method :
For Stuart Little , I find a written matter that looked as if it had been learn and jazz by countless children and expanded upon the original varlet illustrations . For The Phantom Tollbooth , I brought 6 of the book ’s many personified idioms to living by crafting the graphic symbol from the surfaces of other books and ephemera that speak of their essence . For instance , Spelling Bee seem to emerge and hover above a spelling dictionary while the Mathemagician support atop a tower of flashcard , with a confident art raised skywards as if to say , “ A solution to any problem can be found . ”
