Chimera Illustration Coloring Book

This project started out as a coloring book for my two nieces’ Christmas gift. Whenever I visited them, they would always be playing on their iPads or watching Youtube so I try to engage them in more hands on activity.

This book is intended for my nieces to read, imagine, and color. I have always loved the idea of chimera from Greek myths. I also love being able to create something extraordinary and original that these animals became a manifestation of those ideas.

The cover and the first page are personalized to the child receiving the book.

All illustration were hand drawn before imported to illustrator where I vectorized each one of the drawings.

There are a total of 25 illustrations and writings that accompany each. Since each book was personalized, I went to my local FedEx/Kinkos to have them help print it out. They were kind and patient enough to hear my order out and after several prints finally came with the final version.

Here are some examples of illustrations you can find in the book.

Though the project started out as 2 personalized books, I ended up getting 13 additional custom orders for the book.

If anyone wants a copy, please email me and I’ll get a copy printed and shipped to you.
