I have always maintained that creativity is merely documentation in a different medium. And since you insist on inserting yourself into my world, you may as well bring your own colored pencils.
The Receipts Coloring Book is a collection of twenty-four original illustrations from my diary — rendered in elegant line art for you to shade, shadow, and season as you see fit. You will find me on the veranda, fan in hand, eyebrow arched. You will find me at The Empire Diner, judging the milkshake. You will find me in New Orleans, crowned in my tignon, and aboard the Pullman, documenting what they would prefer forgotten. Each scene is accompanied by a pull quote — a receipt, an observation, or a proper bit of shade — because I do not do silent art.
This is not a children's book. This is an adult meditation on elegance, execration, and the proper use of a cat-eye frame. The paper is yours to ruin. The lines are mine. What You Receive: • 24-page digital PDF (8.5" x 11" standard letter size) • Single-sided illustrations (suitable for framing upon completion, if you have the taste) • Instant download upon purchase
P.S. — I recommend a cream or sepia-toned pencil for the skin. Anything too bright white looks like you are trying to erase me, and we have had quite enough of that.
