Let's make a coloring book!
I've been wanting to make a coloring book for a long time. About a month ago I posted a poll on Facebook asking if anybody would be interested in a "Claassen Coloring Book" and the response was incredible and very exciting. So here we are, making a coloring book. I say "we" because I am making this book through Kickstarter. If you are unfamiliar with Kickstarter here's a simple breakdown. Kickstarter is a site where people post a project or product (like a coloring book) they want to produce, but need help funding it. Essentially, it's pre-ordering a product before it's made. I've used it in the past and it's pretty awesome.
Kickstarter is an "all or nothing" funding platform, so if this project doesn't meet its goal there will be no coloring book. But let's not even think about that. Let's make a coloring book!
As a loyal member of my email list you are getting the first look at this campaign. I have some limited items available as "Rewards" and I want you to have a chance at getting them before I start promoting this coloring book on social media. You have a 2 hour head start to check out the campaign and get your orders in before I bombard all my social media followers.
The Kickstarter page has A LOT of info and shows you all the different items you can get with the coloring book, so please take a look at that here:

It is also the only place you will be able to pre-order any of the items. Here is a quick breakdown of what is available.
- Coloring Book, printed version
- Coloring Book, PDF version
- Zipper Pencil Pouch
- Coloring Kits (coloring book, pencil pouch, and crayons or colored pencils)
- Original Illustrations and more
Details about the book:
- $16 per book
- 48 illustrations
- 8" x 10"
The goal I've set for this project is $2000 and the deadline to meet that goal is August 29, 2022. It's a lot of coloring books, but with your awesome support I know we can make it happen. Every little bit helps reach our goal. If you have no interest in coloring, but would like to support the project there is a $3 reward tier for a Thank You Page Shoutout. Your name and/or social media handle will be printed in the book, so that's a fun option. And, of course, sharing this project with anybody you know that loves coloring would be a really great help.
That pretty much sums it up. I am beyond excited to get this book made and I hope you're excited to bust out your favorite crayons or pencils and get to coloring.
