#52Really nicely designed site, but there's only 4 pages total?
I intended on creating more, but haven't had time yet. These 4 took probably like 10 - 20 hours each.

#53It's not working for me. I click the A4 PDF on the Monster Mash page and it takes me to a fullscreen Dopplr ad that I can't do anything on other than sign up for Dopplr.
Try again. I'm not sure what was causing this issue, but I added new links and it should be working properly now :)

#54Really nice artwork! I bet there are some kids off School who will love coloring these + 100% free.. Nice one, thank-you.
Thanks! Glad you like them :) Eventually I'll create more.
In the meantime though, some other artists that are giving away their coloring pages for free:

It's still taking me to the ad. I can click the X on mobile and see the PDF, but I doubt the issue has been fixed on the desktop, where I was seeing it before.

#56Happy 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. [1] https://mackenziechild.podia.com/design-for-developers
I am interested in the story of how is personal name or brand is same as MacKenzie-Childs, a home decor brand popular in my hometown Upstate NY. Their items often have a white-black checkers : https://www.mackenzie-childs.com/
I have no relation to that company. Just unfortunate to share a name lol (I've struggle with getting my stuff on Google for years because of them though ).
I think Mackenzie-Childs is two people, Mackenzie + Childs that formed that company. Not sure if my parents knew about the company or not when they named me lol

#57Earlier quoted context omitted.
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.
You’re claiming you printed these out, colored them in with crayons, enjoyed the experience, and at no point questioned whether you were infantilizing yourself?
Of all the different art supplies I've used, I think I like pastels and colored pencils the most. Painting is fun but usually involves more setup than I give myself time for.
I think you have a hangup on being 'adultlike' versus 'kidlike'.
No, I see even fingerpainting as a good diversion if the circumstances are right.
Lighten up and don't get so stuck on "once I'm an adult, are forbidden to me".

As someone trying to get back into art, I've been considering using coloring books for shading practice - so I'm not constantly distracted by wanting to correct my own "bad" proportions, as I would be with my own linework. Granted, I'm more interested in the Call of Cthulhu coloring book linked elsewhere in the comments section, and I'd use different materials, but if you've got crayons - why not! More talented artis…
Calvinball, anyone?

#59been colouring with crayons a lot more since quarantine, daughter loves it, so I'm happy. And just one 'wall/crayon' incident... took me a good 20 minutes of cleaning :) bought 500 sheets of A3, people luckily not buying that yet to wipe their asses :)
I find melamine foam, like Mr Clean magic erasers, makes removing assorted drawing implements from walls a lot easier. It'll even remove pen and pencil. I add a little soap and just scrub away, rinsing frequently. You have to be careful because it's an abrasive and some wall surfaces might not like it. It seems fine on the paints I've cleaned, though.
I was worried about where you were going with that.
But yes, the magic eraser do clean walls very well.

I recently had an incident with a roll-fed plotter.
It's not printing. Message onscreen complains of incorrect paper size. Tell printer to print anyway.
It starts dumping the roll through, completely blank. Cancel just hangs. Power button does nothing. 10m of roll gone already.
Fuck it, I'll just manually roll it backwards onto the roll. I pull the power plug. I plug it back in.
First thing the plotter does is cut the paper off. Fuck.
TL;DR: My nieces and nephews are not short of paper for drawing on.
