Tyler Lamph recently self published a coloring book of his illustrations called “Color Me Sideways.” He had gotten questions for years on when he would put out a coloring book. As an illustrator working primarily in pen and ink, his art translates extremely well to a coloring activity. Tyler enjoys to add in watercolors and bright colors in addition to pen and ink, but in the case of creating a coloring book for his fans, he left that up to the them!

There wasn’t a specific layout, theme, or story for his book. Tyler simply compiled as many characters and adventures together to give the user variety and choice on what they wanted to color. The front cover of Tyler’s “Color Me Sideways” activity book is divided down the middle with half of the image colored in and half of it black and white. This gives the user an exciting look at the possibilities and adventures waiting for them inside the booklet.
“Color Me Sideways” doesn’t merely include illustrations. There are abstract illustrations, cute kittens, monsters, and more! It also includes activities that allow for you to complete the picture yourself. For example, in the Bob Ross image below, you can paint your own picture in the background.
One of Tyler’s main concerns in creating this book was the quality. He went with a thick paper that would allow his customers to use a variety of coloring utensils other than just crayons. He wants everyone to be able to use watercolors, markers, colored pencils, pens, and more! He chose a 70# uncoated text for the inside pages of the booklet, which is a strong paper that gives the user a lot of versatility. For his cover, he used 100# Gloss Cover in order to make the cover design pop. The specs for his order are shown below.
