Hello, fellow Pandas!

It's been nearly a year since I posted some of my unique art on here and I wondered if you might enjoy a little update about what drawing ideas I have been working on the last few months.

I still draw on old books, but I have been using double pages for quite some time now, the bigger canvas leaving more room for details and beautiful drawings. :)

Mainly using black and white markers I try to tell stories and express emotions with my book art and working on those pieces really feels like cleansing my soul in a way.

So please let me know what you think and maybe have a look at my Instagram for more artwork!

Ps.: I only use books I find in free give away boxes or flea markets that are more or less unwanted. They aren't chosen by content but by paper quality and size. I use one book for several drawings, similar to a sketchbook, so in a way, those books transform to a new work of art, clean pages merging with the ones I draw on. Also, as I live in Germany, most of them are German, in case you're wondering.

Why not work from a scan or photocopy instead of wrecking a perfectly usable book?

I LOVE what you do. I have always liked old books but I live in a tiny house and have no room for them. I could never figure out useful and/or beautiful things to do with them. Thanks for the inspiration.

I love this stuff you do! Normally I would consider this a defacement, but I keep imagining coming upon one of your drawings in a book accidentally chosen..I would be so delighted.
