Coloring Books Back in Stock and a Big Thank You!

Hi there. How are you?

First off friends, I need to give you all a big "thank you." In less than ONE WEEK I sold out of my first run of coloring books. It's so damn gratifying when people want to buy what you want to make! The coloring book was the biggest and most successful product launch I've ever had.

Thank you much friends!

I just picked up my second run of coloring books and I ordered twice as many this time! You can purchase them right HERE. If you missed out on "Pattern Play" last time, go pick one up now! I expect this batch to move quickly, especially with the holidays right around the corner. Pattern Play makes an excellent holiday gift for kids and adults alike.

Father's Day Card Roundup 2015

Father's Day Card Roundup 2015

Hi there. How are you?

It's June. The kids are out of school and summer is upon us. Father's Day is just around the corner!

Father's Day is fun for all in the Johansson family. For the past 3 years, we have spent Father's Day at Scratch Brewery with friends. The adults sample beers and eat delicious goat cheese and pizza. The kids explore the woods and visit the goats and chickens. If you're anywhere near Southern Illinois, make a point to got to Scratch. It is truly one of our very favorite places here.

OK, so back to Father's Day cards. Here are a few of my faves this year.  These are the kind of cards I give to my Dad. None of these cards are traditional or mushy, but instead, original, witty, and well designed.

Go patronize one of these fine illustrators today!
