A small hiatus and plans for the future...

With the completion of the fourth book, Coloring When I Was Little, as per usual I started thinking about what is next for WIWL.

I know I had mentioned in a prior post about wanting to end the series. That hasn't changed but with the positive response from the coloring book, I think I can find a newer and even more fantastic way to evolve the series so that it can still continue w/o reusing the same formula of the first three books.

So that being said, I have two big When I Was Little projects to go out with a bang. One of which I laid out on the ride home from Derby City Comic Con. From there I will make the transition into a different outlet to tell the stories.

I have some other book ideas that I have put on the back burner for quite awhile so I could focus on finishing this coloring book. Now that it is out of the way I want to go back and finish them. I will be taking a tiny hiatus from When I Was Little in order to complete these other book ideas.

Don't worry it won't be too long of a hiatus as I will still be doing 8x10 prints, Signature Prints, and promoting Coloring throughout the rest of the con season and book events I have planned.

I hope to come back next year with two new When I Was Little projects for you. So stay tuned!

' Til next time kids!

Coloring When I Was Little

After making When You Were Little I was thinking of what the next book should be. I really loved the participation that came from the last book and I wanted to think about how I could go bigger with that. Then I realized that the younger audience could participate even more if they had more to do in the book. So I decided to put together a When I Was Little coloring and activity book.

Filling the content was easy. I had thought about doing theme books, like sports, holidays, but I felt the ideas weren't strong enough on their own. I also decided to make the book bigger, filling it with matching games, connect the dots, and lots of coloring pages.

It's black and white, 8 1/2 x 11, and thicker...about 60 pages.

With the title of the subject, I can't really bury the lead I tried to...but yes, I made a coloring book!

Oh by the way here's the cover to Coloring When I Was Little!
