I visited Columbus, Indiana because of a movie. Then I couldn’t find a single coloring book at the Visitors Center, so I drew one.
COLOR is a coloring book series for the cities that earn devoted followings: smaller places with outsized souls, where architecture, design, and everyday life exist in rare conversation with each other. Columbus is where it begins.
Inside you’ll find eighteen hand-drawn landmarks, drawn over the course of a year from my own photographs, reference images, and memory.
The Saarinen church, the Miller House, and the Commons
Zaharakos Ice Cream Parlor and the Inn at Irwin Gardens
The library, the bridges, and Chaos I
Each drawing sits on its own page, with a blank page behind it, and a hand-illustrated map at the front shows where to find them in person.
Details
8 x 10 inches, paperback, 48 pages
Full-color matte cover, black-and-white interior
18 original illustrations, each with the architect and year
Written and illustrated by Nicole Haddad, ArtWorks Press
Coloring tips: water-based markers (Tombow Dual Brush works beautifully), colored pencils, and gel pens all do well. Alcohol markers can bleed through, so slip a sheet of cardstock behind the page you’re coloring.
Small art & architecturally-driven cities. Drawn by hand.
