Thanks to ALLLL!

Wow Holy Whoa.
Oh my goodness, the love has been incredible, and down-right amazing. I wanted to officially thank every single one of you who've purchased and/or expressed positive love and vibes for my coloring book creation and venture! It was quite a journey and I'm pretty proud. Everyone has been so supportive! Who knew an experiment could end up so well! When I found createspace, I never thought of where it could lead after I uploaded the file. So, again, thank you thank you Thank You!
If you have a book I encourage snapping a colored pic and popping it on fb. I want to see! It's pretty novel for me, and I think all folks are creative, no matter your own views on the subject. Color!
First guy I took a coloring whack at after it was bound.

I know it's waay too soon, but since I keep getting asked, "are you going to do an ocean one?!" I thought I'd officially announce that YES I am! It's going to be a few months out though. When I first started Flowers and Bouquets, it took me three months to get all the pages together on a timeline, and that didn't include editing! Alas, having good employment is a fickle bitch.
Meet page Bob!
Bobtail squid. Or, as I like to call them on my deck sheets, Bob squids.
Ironically harder to doodle animals. I'm sure it'll evolve.


Amidst all the coloring book announcement craziness the Pink Shrimp season finally got going, and I've been back to work in Newport and Charleston. If seas are calm, and work it light, lots of doodling happens. If it's sloshy and rude out, I tend to read more. The last week had both.

Tidbit: New reading.
I started reading Art Before Breakfast by Danny Gregory on a whim. One of those ebooks that are recommended after finishing a book.
The central message is that even a busy person can find at least ten minutes a day to create. His creative style, erratic, but I like what he's getting at. Draw every day. Roger.
 
He's got a lot of stuff in there I scoffed at. Then I tried it. Drawing JUST the outline of all the images and then filling it in. Brain learning dysfunctions. Buut, I guess it's good for brain stretching...or something.  I could tell it was tapping into something because I became irrationally and royally ticked off at a book. 
 
I mean, it was sassing me, honestly.
 
Anyway, I've never liked drawing what was in front of me. I was uptight, I guess. Well, I learned I'm still suuuuper uptight. Just.... not...like I used to be. lol My art teacher in High school knew.

 
I hope everyone had a marvelous Memorial weekend
and always,
Happy Tidbitting

 My first coloring book! The wicked long road is over. Started back in August of 2016 as a coloring challenge, in amongst work, and life, excitement, and angst. I bring you: COLOR Adult Coloring Flowers and Bouquets by ME!
All images were drawn and edited by me including the front and back page. I set out with a marker and some Canson Mixed Media 9x12 paper.
