Coloring Book - article about Coloring Book

A lot of my friends see me as a big kid, but I am not ashamed of it. They are right, and it is something that I'm actually proud of. I love all kinds of kid things. I love Marvel action figures, toy cars, running and playing in the mud, and rolling downhill. Most of all, however, I like children's coloring books. I like almost any kind of coloring book that I can find. I have cartoon coloring books, Pokemon books – you name it and I probably have it. I am not just a collector either. A lot of adults who have coloring book collections do not draw in them. They keep them pristine so that they will be worth more money. I believe in enjoying them, however. I don't care if it destroys their value. Coloring is half of the fun!

In the end, I did become an artist. You would expect that to be the end of my coloring book obsession, but it was only the beginning. You see, art is stressful for me sometimes. It can be a difficult career, and you have to constantly strive to get everything right. Pulling out a child's coloring book, however, helps me get back to the source of my art. It helps me rediscover the fun that originally got me excited about being an artist. After all, if you don't love what you do, why do it? I have met so many artists that are dour and serious about their work. They believe art is a higher calling, and everything that they do has deep meaning to it. If they would pull out a coloring book now and then, I think they would enjoy their lives more. I know I do.
