I have this idea that people will enthusiastically accept a coloring page (printed on nice card stock) with an advertisement at the bottom. It’s a throwback to the Depression Era (was it only a century ago?!) when every business from gas stations to boxed oatmeal and flour companies would give away small jelly glasses and patterns for dress making. Like, HERE in 2025, is something you can use and perhaps treasure. . . Thank YOU for doing business with me.
And anyhow, this idea for my particular skill-set has culminated in these coloring pages. I had them printed on the cheapest card stock and I am pleased with the results in using water-based markers to color in the image. Already tho, I have plans to make the art nicer, the line quality juicier and more irresistible to our colorists out there! I may require more experienced pen-and-ink; tattoo type artists. . . I am enjoying this process of trying things.
