Souris Hong-Porretta writes,

Two and a half years ago, I conceptualized a coloring book with line drawings by our creative cabal made up of video game developers, comic book artists, illustrators, graffiti artists, painters, musicians, directors, photographers, and so much more after observing my daughter, Lulu's preference for coloring books with artwork by contemporary artists. 100+ artists contributed amazing line drawings to make my passion project a reality. A portion of the proceeds will be donated to MOCA's Education Program. We are hosting a book launch party at MOCA on September 21st. Open and FREE to the public. Friend and contributors, Shepard Fairey and Jega will DJ.
