Have Horse, Can Colour

From the brute strength of the Draft horse to the speed and agility of the Arabian, horses have plowed fields, pulled carriages and ridden faithfully into battle for humans throughout the centuries.

In addition to contributing to human success, horses have an intriguing role in mythology, represented as unicorn, Pegasus and centaur. That’s why Micheline and I have chosen the horse (and it’s mystical cousins) as a follow-up to our mystical dragons colouring book.

Designed to delight and inspire, this book is also illustrated by Micheline Ryckman and newcomer Hayden Wolf and will include a step-by-step drawing guide along with a collection of stunning, ready-to-colour drawings.

Enjoy the “sneak peek “ inside our new colouring book and be sure to check back for details of how you can win a copy of it, due out this fall.

Cheers :)

Introducing Hayden

Whimsical Publishing is pleased to introduce a new member to our team, Hayden Wolf.525953_10151161465148119_2100988735_nCombining his extensive background in art and design with a background in visual communication and photography, Hayden is the perfect compliment to Whimsical Publishing’s house-artist and fellow photographer, Micheline Ryckman.

Hmm. That sounds a bit formal, doesn’t it? But how else do I introduce such a talent except to say that we’re really excited to have him on board! Perhaps the best thing to do is to just let you see for yourself. Mich has included pictures of some of Hayden’s work. Hayden’s website is currently under construction but for now you can check out more about him and his work by visiting him on Facebook.attachment-1attachment-5 attachment-6attachment-3 attachment-1attachment attachment-7 attachment-8 attachment attachment-2 attachment-4attachmentaAnd here’s a bit of a spoiler alert; Micheline is also working on a couple of colouring books with Hayden –but you’ll have to check back to find out more about those. :)
