In art, most traditional still life subjects consist of fruit, flowers, books, vases, and the like. Yes, that's boring.

And the main reason traditional still life is boring? Because traditional still life doesn't "say" anything. The image might contain nicely rendered visuals, but if an image doesn’t speak, then what’s the point to art?

Blue Nuts solves this dilemma. The still life images in Blue Nuts show that still life can communicate a message. Rather than being about the bland and unimaginative, this book is about still life with life, with imagination, with something to say.

New, isn’t it? Yes, it's different. Let’s call this new outlook “alternative still life” or simply “alt still life.”

Your journey into alt still life images begins on the first page of this book.
