Ex libris, in english: My book.
My book show some topic about me with illustrations and graphics. I've mixed the line drawing style with the bigger, red and simple shapes.
The publication's main topics are: selfi, my qualities with type pictures, favourite food, favourite drink and favourite fruit, the shortest way to me, three wishes, and my ex libris.
For me, japanese culture was always very interesting and attractive, so it takes some effect on my illustrations. The book is bilingual, the first language is hungarian (my mother tounge) and the second is japanese.
Furthermore, as the title say "ex libris" I've made a stamp with my ex libris design. The book is complete with this.

Topic of "the shortest way to me"
This graphic refers to how easy or hard to reach me for a human or for a cat. :D
Naturally I've made some extreme.

Three wishes topic
I represent this topic with the japanese maneki neko, which means beckoning cat.
In Japan, maneki nekos are usually in the shopwindows, but there are also in home's windows.
Maneki-neko can be found with either the right or left paw raised and sometimes both. A common belief is that the raised left paw brings in customers, while the right paw brings good luck and wealth. If both of the paws raised it protects our home.

The book shows these three meanings as my wishes.
The last topic: Ex libris
Ex libris stamps are for mark our book for others that those are ours. Because of this, the stamps' designs are refer to owner.
