A collaborative coloring book:
“This book invites you to collaborate with 15 Minnesota artists—a project conceived in the spirit of Drawing Club at Walker Open Field, where artists and the public add to a pool of collectively created artworks. Rip a page out and color it for yourself, hang it up on your wall and photograph it, or tear it up and use it to make a new piece—but whatever you do, share it by uploading the results to mnartists.org/coloringbook. There you’ll be able to view, contribute, and comment on the work, participating in the social experience of art-making, collaboration, and play.”
Featured Minnesota artists:
Emily Bennett Beck Saman Bemel-Benrud Cornelius Coons Brandon Cramm Kristina Estell Hot Sundae HOT TEA Karen Kvitek Max Mose Terrence Payne Casey Seijas Angela Sprunger Melissa Stang Peter Steineck Lex Thompson
Design:
For the cover we opted to reproduce all the works featured in the book in bright neon inks, all layered on top of each other. The typeface, Maple by Process Type Foundry, is designed by a Minnesotan. The book was printed in Minnesota. Everything about this book is straight Minnesota.
Each of the pages containing the artwork was perforated so the user could easily share or use the art in a way other than just simply coloring it.
