The fifth micro coloring book\/zine thingy! I am on a roll. Or obsessed. Or something.<\/p>\n

About birds, of course<\/em>. I thought I had more mouse art than bird art, but it turns out that as far as inked\/linework finished art goes, it’s birds. I was surprised! Are you?<\/p>\n

\"AnThis one had an American Redstart, three Black-capped Chickadees, a Winter Wren, a Raven, two Penguins and a Swan. There may be a crown and a fez. Just sayin’.<\/p>\n

The linework varies because sometimes I was using micron pens and sometimes the ipad, and art starts off at different sizes, then gets scanned with less-varied specs, then gets cleaned up (removing all but the black, sort of, mostly), and anyway, all that probably doesn’t matter. Well, except the biggest drawings scanned at the highest res usually wind up having the thinnest linework in the zines, but I’m working on balancing that.<\/p>\n

Why yes<\/em> I am<\/em> having fun!<\/p>\n

About the Zines<\/h2>\n

Coloring zines began as patron rewards, but some are now available for purchase. You can become a patreon member (https:\/\/www.patreon.com\/1490941\/join<\/a>), purchase through Patreon (most zines so far<\/a> for one price; don’t use your iPhone for this, as Apple creates a surcharge); or visit my shop (the Etsy one<\/a> , I still have to get the zines posted to the one on this site<\/a>)<\/p>\n
