Summer is here, and we hope to capture the season in this packed issue featuring amazing colored pencil talent from all over the world.

For those who get the print version, we are including a fun ride-along of a Grizaye Mini Coloring Kit. We are expanding our art line to include some fun things like this to inspire a new generation of colored pencil artists and to work towards the benefits of adult art therapy by coloring just for fun & relaxation!
