Hello to all amateurs of arts, books and the art of a book!

I have liked to read and draw since I was a kid. My excuses to older artists, but sometimes I drew right in books. I just added details that from my childish point of view were missing in the illustrations. Luckily my parents did not forbid that kind of creativity. Probably, that was the start in profession of graphic artist. Here on the pages of this site you can see what has been done by now.

Enjoy!
