cozy but bright, open concept…

look. just look.
this is what started the reaction:
a few years ago, I did a freelance job for an agency that was branding santa ana, california, and was inspired by photos which showed some nice wrought iron. naturally, i now have time to expand on that beginning. if you’re curious about all the options produced for that job, here it is: https://heythattickles.com/2020/09/12/logo-exploration-for-santa-ana-ca/
these started out as drawings, then when they were scanned, they were placed in indesign (a page-layout software) and were recreated using the drawing tools there. not ideal. however, the original collection was disappointing in its ending and some of the images were… lacking. so, when the idea of committing these to coloring books that would be available to the public, some compositions were enhanced, added to, tightened up, and others were simply dropped, cut, tossed, deleted.
and now it’s available in print! 34 drawings, 143 pages (with almost blank pages between each drawing so the colors don’t bleed), three basic shapes (circles, squares and triangles), one book. if you’re interested, here’s the link: https://www.lulu.com/shop/ron-moore/color-me-5/paperback/product-8pr72p.html?q=Ron+moore&page=1&pageSize=4
enjoy. and thanks for following.
