Slaughterhouse Five - Firebombing of Dresden

I've been experimenting lately with more artistic mediums. I can't draw more than basics, nor can I paint. I am, on the other hand a fan of my success with this:






The entire book (mass market) is spread over 9 canvases.

Disclaimer: I feel compelled to comment on the morality of the subject of the destruction of books. As a general rule if the destruction is meant as censorship I am unquestionably opposed. However, I honestly believe that the use of books in art is not destructive, it is instead creating a new art from an old. I am not in any way doing this as a form of censorship, and sincerely hope that this work inspires others to read the books that I have selected. (Super sorry for the preemptive defensiveness...)
