Hello, I am Aaron and I'm a 33 year old freelance artist with an associated in Illustration and Graphic Design.
I began Steam Pony Design as my portfolio project back in college and I've kept the name since.
I love drawing and working with different artist crafts and have taken a huge liking to using India inks to outline drawings I made. It led me to the idea of making coloring book pages after some friends asked for printouts of my drawings to color.
I've seen coloring books for adults and most of them seem to be nothing but shapes and patters. Nothing wrong with it but I felt more could be done in coloring books.
One day it hit me in a dream that a coloring book could be made just like a comic book and tell a story picture by picture where the action of the drawing tells the story and no dialogue is needed.
So here we are in 2020 with the first coloring book story for adults, The Stray. A story about a detective investigating a strange killing in a back alley of downtown. I have many more story ideas jotted down and will be making more of these coloring books soon. So stay tuned the adventure has only just begun.
