Noodlings Coloring Book (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9780692110072)

In December 2017, Steven M. Johnson saw he was getting upset by the daily antics of the U.S. President. He announced a "creativity counterattack" on Facebook. Having a reputation as an inventor-cartoonist, he decided to use the opportunity to experiment with new types of artwork and try out unique comics characters. Small line drawings were created, scanned and colored in Adobe Photoshop within 15 minutes, and shared online. Intentionally, there was no planned content, theme, or pre-sketching involved in the creation of these panels. Examples of the same drawing done with different color combinations were shown. The comics characters emerged and evolved in a similar unplanned fashion. This book shares the surprising results of the first 100 days of this effort. For the book, selected panels are enlarged as full pages in black and white for coloring.
