Wanting to share some of the meditative benefits I get from drawing this kind of repetitive art, I decided to make a colouring book based off some 80-some drawings I did on paper throughout the summer and fall. 15 of those are included in this book.
There are limited printed copies in person at spectrumyxe.ca but a pdf download is available to purchase to print your own copy—contact me if interested.
Future versions of this are a possibility but with no real timeline and as always every illustration is my own without the use of AI (some videos of the original drawings are on my Instagram).
Colouring can be similar to meditating in that it reduces thoughts of a restless, busy mind, generating mindfulness. Anytime I make art my mind goes silent—the act of creating is really the only thing I’ve ever found to be successful at quieting my autistic and adhd mind.
My purpose for this project was to make something where anyone can experience this same mindfulness through creation.
on most pages i added tiny, digital hand drawn messages to reflect some of my core values.
patience in the creative process especially is key because nothing good is created fast.
