My artist and Squidoo lensmaster friend Pastiche has another great resource for coloring books and coloring pages suitable for older children and adults at Adult Coloring Books. That blog is much like this one – only probably more active than I am at times!
Through her I found the Color-Me Club at Deviant Art which is really exciting as I’ve been a Deviant (though not a very active one of late) for years. There are some very talented artists working at DA and to think some of them are sharing their art as line art to color! There are a lot of fantasy and anime type line arts there, and be sure to remember to treat the artists with respect. They often have more restrictions on your usage of their art than I do, so be sure and ask permissions.

Here I am again to share another great bargain from Dover Publishing on one of their coloring books – and of course, nope, no affiliation. Their affiliation folks looked Color Your Own over and decided we weren’t good enough for them – LOL. You folks just don’t buy much – which is fine, this site is about free coloring pages and line art and now that it’s a hobby, I don’t really care if you ever buy anything.
BUT, check out the Color Your Own Victorian Fairy Paintings on sale for just $4.99. It includes one of my all time favorites – on the cover no less. And yeah, just a coincidence about the name. I had the website, Color-Your-Own.com for a year or so before I got my first ad sent to me about the Dover Color Your Own coloring books. After the initial WTF wore off, I realized that we had just both stumbled into the same phrase for vaguely similar pursuits. Theirs are coloring books, mostly of masterpiece art – mine were line art for gamers to color their own dog/cat/horse for the game although it has grown into a lot more than that.
Still a bit chaotic around here, but who knows – I am off work tomorrow and granting myself a computer day today up until time to go to work. I just might maybe get some new art up tomorrow. It will be on a different computer, so it may take me more than one try to get work I’m satisfied with.
Until then, go enjoy the Dover coloring books.

Dovers Horses Stained Glass coloring book is on sale for under $3 during their warehouse sale. Other horse coloring books are also listed on the same page. No affiliation – I just love the Dover coloring books myself and I know I’ve got lots of horse folks here.
I apologize for no new pages for a while. I’ve had to go back to work and my job is very physical and has knocked the wind out of me. I guess I’m not 25 anymore (in fact, I’m turning 50 in a few days). That and some major upheavals on the home front have made life a little chaotic lately. I’m hoping things will settle down enough soon so I can just sit and draw for a day. I’m also taking care of a sick relative, so that’s keeping me away from the computer quite a bit. Hey, you gotta have priorities and I’m afraid he is rather more important than my little hobby website.
Go stock up on some cool Dover coloring books and I’ll get back in the swing of things soon.
