German artist who goes by the name 10amCoffee on Instagram is creating something new from the old books. While some may see this as book destroying, here’s what she had to say:

“I still believe in books being a wonderful and unique medium that presents art as well as being art itself. So I still try to rescue as many books as possible from those free give away boxes on the street, so they won’t be lost in the rain, offering them a new life as a canvas for my creation.”

She mainly uses markers in a limited color palette, focusing on black, white and red. Scroll down to enjoy her work.
