Now that this fad has kind of moved on I would like to share my own story on how I got started creating coloring books. 
When this coloring craze started about two years ago I had never even heard about it until a friend told me to join in. So I did and I didn't want to create andthing like everyone else. I wanted sething different and unique. I decided to do some research on my own and found a local company that will print them for an amazing price. So then came the creative's, the artwork had to stand out. And considering I sold and marketed 100 coloring books in a couple weeks i'd say my plant ti be different worked out very well. I bind every book by hand and do all the marketing my2. I love being different in so many differentways and try to come up with se that no one else had done. Being a mandala artist for years now I kne_ what kind of paper I wanted, 80lb matte paper so not even sharpies will bleed theough. I am happy I took on this challengeand excited to see where it takes me. I have sold over 300 book to friends fami* itemly and local shops and trying to expand and get it big retail shops. I just resent lyrics published my second on and want to go all the way with it
