Art is long, life is short

The secret of art is: make as much as you can. Even if it all seems to be nonsense, good for nothing, not new at all, carry on.
It's never too late for a happy childhood! ;) And: Everybody's got the right to make a fool of him/herself!

Because I don't want to use the original, I started with copies, but it's not the same.

I love that "Sepia" und "Walnut stain" ink, I am using, it makes the paper look really old.

Isn't that a great sentence? Art is long, life is short.

My friend Videbitis works in a library, he's sent me tons of old library cards and as a "thankyou" I made this little "Nonsense"-Book called "good for nothing" from these cards, it was great fun.

  4. I really like your library card book...those cards are hard to come by these days! I love the idea that it's never too late for a happy childhood...it's never too late to play like a child when you enjoy making art!
