Publish a Coloring Book Of My Art
Donation protected
I am a self taught artist. I enjoy working with many mediums.
I have always enjoyed geometric/abstract pieces and after much encouragement from others, I have decided to get a coloring book with my designs published for the masses.
I am starting this GoFundMe to garner the funding needed to have the coloring book professionally published. (I've gotten a quote from a possible publisher, which said that I can get approximately 1500 books at 14 pages each for roughly $5000.)
This is just for the starting run of books. After that, I will have made a profit, and will be able to pay for subsequent publishing on my own.
You can find updates and examples of my work on my Facebook Artist page.
I am a type two diabetic, who also suffers from clinical depression. The two do not go well together.
My art is my therapy. Without it, I'd just be a sad soul on antidepressants, because as anyone with depression knows, the medication only does so much.
I also recently lost my job that I've had since just after I married my wife almost 14 years ago. This means that we've also lost not only any money for the house payment and other bills, but that we've also lost our medical insurance and since I made good money up until now, we dont qualify for state subsidised insurance.
The profit made from the books would help fill in gaps in income when I find another job, and it will insure that I wont have any lapse in my prescriptions. Beyond that, it's just a fun way to share my work with you.
I have a folder filled with drawings. People keep asking for copies of my work, and since high school I have designed several logos for event shirts and banners.
I have always hand-drawn birthday cards for my wife and our sons and when the youngest needed more of a challenge than traditional coloring books provided, I made coloring sheets for him.
After putting the idea to my family and friends, I decided that I want to put the black and white pieces in a book for people to color.
Please, help to make this a reality.
