Marc David – Sketchbook

Marc David Sketchbook delves deeply into the artistic journey of Marc David Spengler, featuring work created between April 2017 and August 2023. This collection offers a rare view into his creative process, with each page serving as a canvas for his evolving imagination. It captures the essence of his art, from initial simple forms to complex, instinctive compositions.

The sketchbook showcases Marc David’s method of adding color, shapes, and lines spontaneously, leading to compositions that feel both deliberate and impulsive. This approach reflects the dynamic nature of his creativity, with sketches ranging from abstract explorations to detailed illustrations. Each page provides insight into the fluid, ever-changing nature of his artistic vision, making the collection a chronicle of his artistic evolution rather than just a display of finished works.

The presentation of Marc David Sketchbook is thoughtfully designed to complement its content. Hand-bound in our studio, the book consists of 416 pages and measures 23.5 cm wide by 27.5 cm long, and 3.7 cm high, offering ample space to fully appreciate each illustration. The paper choice closely matches that of Marc David’s original sketchbooks, preserving the tactile quality essential to his work. This carefully crafted book not only showcases his sketches but also invites readers to experience his creative process.
