40K art on rescued rulebook pages

I'm John. I take old Warhammer rulebooks that were headed for the bin and turn their pages into framed wall art. Every piece is the only one. When it sells, it's gone.

About the maker

Just a regular 40K nerd with a pile of old rulebooks

I play Thousand Sons and Tzeentch Daemons in 40K, and Pathfinders and Chaos Cults in Kill Team. I wanted art for my hobby room that actually felt like Warhammer, couldn't find any, so I started making it from rulebooks I had lying around.

People started trading me their beat up books for pieces. Now there's a pile of rulebooks and a growing stack of art. I give a lot of it away as tournament prizes, and the rest ends up here.

Where the books come from

Trades, local game scenes, Marketplace, the odd bulk lot. Never new, and never collector books someone still wants. I'm not here to drive up the price of nostalgia.

Why I do this

Hobby money. It all goes straight into my pile of shame, also known as the mound of opportunity, and $15 shoulder pads for a single model.
