We use the method of tiling to give elementary combinatorial proofs of some celebrated q-series identities, such as Jacobi triple product identity, Rogers-Ramanujan identities, and some identities of Rogers. We give a tiling proof of the q-binomial theorem and a tiling interpretation of the q-binomial coefficients. A new generalized k-product q-series identity is also obtained by employing the 'tiling-method', wherein the generating function of the set of all possible tilings of a rectangular board is computed in two different ways to obtain the desired q-series identity. Several new recursive q-series identities were also established. The 'tiling-method' holds promise for giving an aesthetically pleasing approach to prove old and new q-series identities.
