Books, Creativity, and Why I Love Combining Them


For me, reading isn’t just a hobby—it’s a constant source of inspiration. The lush landscapes of Tolkien’s Rivendell, the intricate drama of historical fiction, the swoon-worthy moments in a romance novel—each story fuels my imagination. And now, that inspiration flows into my digital art.

I’ve always believed that books have the power to spark creativity. The colours, themes, and emotions woven into a great story shape the way I design. That’s why, when I started Library of Rivendell, I knew I wanted my artwork to reflect the magic of literature.

Blending Literary Magic with Modern Design

My designs are a mix of classic bookish nostalgia and contemporary aesthetics. I’m inspired by quote, illustrations or the atmosphere of a cherished novel.

One of my recent creations is a Bridgerton-inspired quote print, perfect for Valentine’s Day or anyone who loves a bit of historical romance. Bridgerton is filled with grand, poetic, and heartfelt declarations of love, and I wanted to capture that in a way that feels elegant and timeless. Whether you adore the books or the Netflix series, there’s something so special about its portrayal of love.

📖 Books That Shape My Designs 📖

From fantasy realms to period dramas, every book leaves a mark on my creative process. I find inspiration in:
📜 Vintage book covers – Their ornate details and rich colours feel so timeless.
🖋️ Quotes that stay with you – The words that make your heart skip a beat.
🎭 Iconic characters & themes – Love, adventure, mystery—each story has its own magic.

💬 Let’s Talk Bookish Art!

I’m beyond excited to create more literary-inspired designs, whether it’s fantasy illustrations, romance-inspired typography, or abstract pieces that evoke the emotions certain books bring.
