Happy to see work by Mackenzie Child. His design for developers course was really helpful when I was trying to build a webpage from scratch with just an engineering background.

#12Really nicely designed site, but there's only 4 pages total?

#13Yeah this is a great idea for kids stuck inside! On a related note my friend made free coloring pages for two of her artworks: https://www.gopaintthewild.com/coloringpages

#14I realize I’m about to ask about the aesthetic of an art website so cut me some slack: I love the visual style of this landing page. Anyone know of a bootstrap (or other framework) theme with a similar style? Or a name for this style?
I don't know of an exact theme, but I think you would be able to get a similar effect by using a standard landing page theme and tweaking the fonts / colors a little. Use a round typeface, double the font size, and choose vibrant colors.

Yup, I think just bumping up the font size alone makes a huge difference, along with increasing the line height and margins. I know some people dislike this trend but I quite like it. Panic uses a similar style for the Playdate website[1].

#16Did anybody else just screenshot that Snack Attack image and start coloring it on their computer? Pretty fun...
No, because we are not kids, what is it with this infantilisation of western adults?

#17Awesome! I'll have to share these with some friends who have kiddos at home right now. I've been doing something similar at http://colorthisthing.com . Skipped today for a day off, but I've been posting one everyday since I started. Fun way to keep my brain occupied since most of my other artistic outlets are shut down right now.
Thanks for sharing this. I browsed a few posts and liked it. I thought it’d be nicer to have an archive page that shows all your creations (with clear thumbnails and links to download). It doesn’t have to be infinite scrolling. It could be a page with 20 posts each or so.

#18I know that infantilisation of society has been going on for quite some time, but this is too blatant.
What the hell? I'm in my fifties and this is nice relaxing and a break from being serious and on point 86400 seconds per day.
Unless you're trolling and then i guess you got me, fool me once.

#19This site is hands down the best designed printable coloring page site I've seen! I'm an elementary school teacher, so I've seen a lot.
Let me present you my lord Cthulhu
