A Hidden Art Form You’ll Flip For

- Martin Frost is the last working fore-edge painter in the world. Dating back centuries, the delicate art form places intricate scenes on the side of books, cheekily hidden beneath gold gilded pages. The beautiful paintings are only visible to the trained eye, but once you unlock the secret, you’ll find pure magic.

Don’t ever let this art form die.
Amazing video !
His voice is really soothing
Hafidh Turmuji right his voice is calming
i love how his passion is overflowing through my phone screen
This is why people used to believe in magic
Justin Y. Yup. Glad to see you here before people get toxic
Justin Y.oof
Justin Y. not your best comment m8
We meet again.... Master Justin
Mr.Everywhere
This is the sort of sh*t I'm subscribed for! Truly awesome!
Paradox yaaaassss
Paradox, the first of all i thought you gonna say something bad! 😂
It's sad to know that these times of magical and beautiful pieces of art are very rare nowdays but at least they exist ^u^
I want to be a Fore-Edge Painter. Perhaps Ill buy a few yardsale books to practice on?
Jareth Garza yes!!
Go for it m8
and make a living out of it because its rare for people to choose this and also just feel that your giving the people a form of art that so ordinary looking they didnt even know its special
Jareth Garza DO IT! JUST DO IT! DON'T LET YOUR DREAMS BE DREAMS!
Sha'ra Lighter ok. Ill do it at least once, just for you Sha’ra. I promise.
Not just a great artist of an underrated art, but he also sounds like a really kind man.
WHOA I FIGURED OUT THIS ARTFORM IN 3RD GRADE WITH MY SCIENCE TEXTBOOK
Hamilton Rubbish right! We uses to do this with our textbooks
Yeah we do
That is magic in real life
Much better than Walt Disney 😏😂
Odette Swan Princess yeah
That's awesome! I really loved the double one with paintings one side and on the other! I also really liked the harry potter one. I hope more people will do this later on, out books would look a awesome.
😲This is incredible. I read books all the time and I never heard about this art form until today. So sad that he's the last one. I'm really surprised other artists haven't picked this up.
There are a lot of hobbyists, but very few commercial painters.
God dammit why do I watch these before bed?! I get so inspired I sit up until 3 am sketching.
This is the loveliest video to ever feature in my recommended list. Absolutely gorgeous artwork, and such a soothing voice.
This art form needs to have a huge resurgence in popularity, and get to happening, like now! If cake decorating, and body painting can become hit tv shows, this artisan style work with paint and literature can surely create a noticeable demand for product delivery, and maybe save some bookstores!
I want to learn that! I'm a book lover and I don't want this craft to die. Mr Frost, can you teach me that incredible art?!
I am a student, becoming a teacher, married and hopefully someday mother... but I also am a crafter and painter at heart. And I adore books - the medium, the stories, the letters, the smell... Did I mention I love books?
Unique,enchanting and beautiful. So glad he's still doing this amazing art work! wish my Harry Potter books had his work on them.
This was a really great story! It feels so good to realize that these art forms exist today.
My grandmother had a very old book with this art. We kids were not allowed to touch but it was a great treat to see.
Wonderful! I am glad he is doing what he is doing!
He seems like a fairytale character he's so interesting 😁
Teach me oh wise one
This hidden art needs to come back in style....this is insanly amazing!!
Well done video. Great respect for this hard worker!
His voice is so relaxing, and his work is amazing!
His voice, his calm and soothing demeanor and then his work!! Great!
This is awesome! I always questioned how people have done this centuries ago!
There is something so elegant in the way he speaks that makes you believe in magic!!
OMG I used to do the same when I was in high school with my books. sometimes I draw lines. but when you see it from the bottom or under it will reveal a name or a word. I didn't know that its something. but for me its just a Drawing or tricks.
Wow - that is absolutely incredible. Boy do I want to try that!! Spectacular - thank you so much for sharing.
Dumbledore asked *calmly*
I feel like I'm back to loving books. These look so magical and I want one💕
His voice is so nice. Like he should be a narrator for movies or something
This is such an amazing art, and he is a very talented man...
so humble.. he would be such a nice grand dad.
This is just amazing.. You are not just a painter you are a magician 😍
Wow - this is an extremely cool technique, particularly the two-way doubles!
I love the way he speaks. It sounds magical
Glad to be back on the truly amazing videos and off of the agenda ones
This is one of the most underrated channel on TH-cam.
Very much impressed, thanks for producing it. Job well done
thats so cool.
Wow! Wow! Wow!! Why isn't his work spreading in the world! I'd love to have one.
This is so beautiful, and his voice is so soothing
Amazing!! The two way one... How on earth!?! Brilliant. Xx
Wow such cool form of art
He is absolutely amazing. What an art. Brilliant.
I love seeing rare forms of art that existed for a long time. It inspires me.
Very pleasing for the mind. What a sympathic guy.
There was something just lovely about seeing him smiling in a kitchen stocked with copious amounts of tea, talking about the magic of book-edge paintings.
That video was really great. Thank you so much for sharing.
Yes theory and great big story are the two most underrated channels on TH-cam
He's so charming! And what a beautiful work he does. I'd love to have all seven Harry Potter books done by him 😍
Hi! I do crafty art. But what you do is stunning! It takes quite a steady hand to paint such a small and detailed paintings! Thanks so much for sharing your beautiful art with us!! 💖🙋🏼💖
I want one for War and Peace
Beautiful art. I love his personality too
I didn't know this was a thing five minutes ago, and now I feel that if the artform ended, the entire world would be lost.
I used to do something like that on my school textbooks. That's pretty cool!
Never seen this
I could listen to his voice all day long
I've never seen this before. It's amazing!
WHAT?! Now I'll be flipping those books with golden pages , I've never knew srsly 😂
Jess Jess well most of the books with gold edging won't have these images
That's pretty cool! I hope this fore-edge painting skill can last forever.
Great. Now I'll have to check EVERY SINGLE antique book I come across.
I'm now going to fan out every gold-edged book I find.
real deal holy feel artist
Loved seeing this! What talent!
Honestly i love what he's doing but his voice is so soothing he shoulder consider also doing audio books
We have to protect it in all cost.
"Ah.. Yes...", This phrase totally reminded me about the Olivander moment.
I liked the one with the goblet of fire😊
I'd love to go to the pub with that guy. He seems so nice.
Those are the great big storys were looking for!
Beautifully done = Artist so talented
That’s very creative
This was phenomenal
Michael Frost indeed 🙂
Wow... these are so beautiful
This man ought to be nominated and should win the 2018 Nobel Prize in Literature for his contributions to the English literature and arts!
This is absolutely amazing!
Such a beautiful art form 😊 We all can use a little bit of magic.
his accent is really comforting..
He must be a high level mage to do be doing that type of sorcery
Things like this are why I love GBS so much
Incredible art form!! Thanks for sharing. Came here from reading a fic called The Journal of Edward Cullen by LogLadyJ.
He seems like such a sweet man aww my hear 💓🌸
I used to do this to my text books when I was in school. I never knew it was an actual art form.
I didn't even know people still did this! Amazing!
what a stunning art form.
I've never seen this kind of books before! Now i want one!
Fascinating and beautiful 🙂
I remember ‘discovering’ this in a book I read when I was a child. I can’t for the life of me recall which book it was but it must’ve been in my parents book shelves, I must take a day and have a look sometime. They just have so many books, it will take a day haha
Would love to be actually taught this! Beautiful!
I shall send this man all of my books.
What a beautiful art!
That is the most appropiate art for a book like Harry Potter! 😱😍
That was brilliant I hope he carries on for decades to come!! Will be a sad day when he stops doing this, would be great if someone could continue his work so this craft never dies out!! Real shame modern times with our mass manufacturing has put many of these artworks out of business as sadly many arts and crafts business stopped being viable as there wasn't as much interest!⅞
There a few people in other parts of the world who do this, and there is a museum in the States that repairs / restore these books.
coolest thing I've seen in a long time.
He seems like such a nice guy!
I want 1 painting for my books. I love the mystery.
I have done this before in grade school and high school to my textbooks, hehe... It was fun. Oh and i love Harry Potter!
