2017 Coloring Calendars are Here!

After many months in the making, I've got 12 new hand drawn calendar pages for you to color and enjoy. I'm so pleased with how these turned out and am excited to send them out into the world.

Printed on a nice thick cardstock, you can color with sharpies or any other marker on this 2017 coloring calendar.

Color with any Media

Each page in this spiral bound calendar measures 5.5" x 8.5" and are single sided so that you can easily share or hang your colored creations. The calendar was professionally printed right here in Carbondale on a nice heavy card-stock, so feel free to coloring with any tool of your choice. I've colored here with Sharpies and other permanent markers, and there was just a tiny bit of bleed through onto the back side of the page.

The spiral bound calendar comes with a small hole in each page so it's easy to hang.

Ready to hang. Easy to gift.

Believe it or not, the holiday season is almost upon us. At just $17.00, these calendars make a great gift to keep on hand for any creative on your list.

With a small hole at the bottom of each page, this calendar is easy to hang in your home or office. I hung mine on the wall just above my computer so I can easily refer to it.

The calendar illustrations look cool colored and uncolored.

Not into coloring? The 12 hand drawn illustrations can stand on their own without color. I most likely won't color my own calendar.......I honestly don't have the patience for coloring. (Crazy, but true.)

Act fast. These won't last!

A Lovely Evening for Some Coloring

Hi there. How are you?

Last week I took a trip back to my hometown to host an adult coloring party at the Rockford Art Museum. What a blast!

I hosted an adult coloring party on May 12 at the Rockford Art Museum. So fun!

A Lovely Setting

The party took place right in the middle of the main gallery at the museum. The current exhibition features work by Stephen Warde Anderson, a nationally known "outsider" artist and Rockford native. It's really delightful! Do try to catch it before it closes on May 30th.

 All of the guests got a copy of Elegant Abstracts, my newest coloring book.

Coloring and wine go well together

Each guest received a copy of my new "Elegant Abstracts" coloring book and the museum supplies lovely Prismacolor pencils for them to use.  I shared a couple of colored pencil techniques and then we drank wine, socialized, and colored!

Here are some snaps from the evening:

Thanks to all who attended. I had a blast and hope you did too!


Would you like to hold an adult coloring party?

I'd love to host more coloring parties like this. Would you like me to come to your home, your library, or your event and lead some coloring? Do get in touch!

Until next week. Ciao!

Video Flip Through

I put together a quick little video of me flipping through the pages so that you can get a glimpse of what you'll get inside Elegant Abstracts. I'm new to the video thing, but it's been fun to learn a new media.

Coloring Book Details

Just like in my last book, all coloring book pages are single sided so that you can easily remove to share or hang your colored creations. It was professionally printed right here in Carbondale, Illinois on a nice 70 lb. paper. For best results use colored pencils, water-based markers, or crayons. Sharpies and other solvent-based markers work as well, but will bleed through. As long as you put a scrap piece of paper under your page, color away with your Sharpies.

A 24 Hour Deal for You!

Printing prices for this new book have increased, so Elegant Abstracts is going to cost a bit more than my previous book. But for the next 24 hours, you can purchase at the old price of $12.00!

That's all for this week!
