Local Artist/Author Duo Want You to Color Their New Book

Amy Kollar Anderson and Rob E. Boley Collaborate on Adult Coloring Book

Local artist Amy Kollar Anderson and horror author Rob E. Boley are planning a celebration for their new Kickstarter project to fund a dark fantasy coloring book, That Naughty Pipe: A Scary Tale of the Pied Piper & Gremlins. The event will be held from 6:00 to 9:00 pm on Thursday, April 28 at Toxic Brew Company, located in the historic Oregon District at 431 E 5th St, Dayton, OH 45402.

The evening will showcase Anderson’s art and Boley’s fiction—both of which will be available for sale—but it will also feature two of Dayton’s finest homegrown taste sensations: the gourmet hot dogs of Zombie Dogz and the craft beers of Toxic Brew Company. As well, Anderson’s original art will be on display. Attendees will also be treated to raffle prizes and the opportunity to pledge their support to the Kickstarter campaign for That Naughty Pipe.

Unlike other adult coloring books, That Naughty Pipe will bring to life a brand-new dark fantasy short story featuring a mash-up of the classic Pied Piper of Hamelin fairy tale and the mischievous imps known as gremlins. The story will be whimsically illustrated by Anderson’s surreal aesthetics. So that the text will compliment the work, rather than clutter it, the story will be printed on the left-hand page of each spread, allowing Anderson’s art to take up the entire right-hand page.

The Kickstarter campaign runs from Wednesday, April 20 to Friday, May 20. Event attendees who pledge support for the project prior to or during the event will receive exclusive That Naughty Pipecolorable posters suitable for framing. Other official rewards for backers include copies of the coloring book and the opportunity to have their likeness featured in the book. As well, backers can have their child’s or dog’s likeness drawn into the book.
