So Wait, Why a Coloring Book?

Those more eagle eyed among you might have noticed that I’ve published a coloring book.  Yes, it’s my own original artwork (which you can see more of on my art’s Facebook page, and on my Tumblr).  I’ve been drawing, and painting, and sculpting, and making weird things out of mixed media now for years.  Since I was about six, more or less.  I’d been on somewhat of a hiatus, though, only returning full force this year.  As usual, I have my husband to thank for giving me the courage.

So why a coloring book?  It’s certainly not my sole art-related endeavor; I’m also working on a series of paintings, ahead of preparing to launch a Patreon.  But I do a lot of pen and ink and something kind of magical started to happen.  Friends of mine, and in some cases almost total strangers, asked if they could color them.  That anyone would want to color them amazed, and thrilled me!  And then a friend said: you should really do a coloring book.  This particular coloring book, Princess Reimagined, is my own original take on some favorite (and not so favorite) fairy tale characters.
