Analog Analog Series #2
View from Eden Park: Coloring Book Version

Last year I had a great time making a coloring book for my nieces and nephews. When I was thinking about making a drawing of my film photographs, this funny idea of a coloring book came to mind. The only downfall is that I am going to have to find imagery that kids will enjoy, while my Holgas are typically void of humans and animals — typically focusing on nature and architecture.

This image is one of my favorite views on my bike commutes to and from work. Sometimes I ride through Cincinnati's Eden Park and you can look out over a bend in the Ohio River. I stop for a sip of coffee and a quick stretch before heading into work.

This is what our nephew thinks Bridget looks like:

This year I drew a coloring book for my nieces and nephews for Christmas. I really loved making this for them — it is rare that anyone gets to see my actual drawings as a finished product.


Cover with Animal Numbers.


Shepard Fairey even made it into the book!


I love the detail of Bridget's cyclocross bike on the right.

I think I will do this more often. It has been a few years since I have pushed myself to use my drawing and painting skills in projects.
