Colouring Book 2017

It's just line art!

DEADLINE EXTENDED TO JULY 7th!!

It's the 20th Camp Feral, MOT#!%$%KERS! And guess what?!?! We're making a COLOURING BOOK! 

The theme of the book is, well, Camp Feral!  We will celebrate all the ways that Feral! has coloured outside the lines: sometimes it's messy, sometimes it's beautiful, but it's fun ALL OF THE TIME!

  • If you have attended Feral before, contact us at colouringbook@campferal.org and let us know what years you attended. We would love it if your art represented a moment, an experience, a memory, an image, or anything else you can capture to share with everyone!
  • If you're stuck for an idea or haven't attended Feral! before, we can help you! There are milestones, important moments, and fun memories we'd love to see included in the book, and we'd be happy to give you all the details you would need to help us! Again, contact us at colouringbook@campferal.org.

Submissions for the colouring book should meet these specifications:

  • 8.5" x 11" and please allow a quarter inch (0.25") around the edges for trim.. this doesn't mean don't draw to the edge... try not put anything important there
  • IF you want it to go right to the edge, please add a bleed of a quarter inch (0.25") beyond (8.75" x 11.25")
  • Black & White, 300 dpi is fantastic!
  • Please send as a pdf or a tiff. Other formats work, we just KNOW these will work!

Submissions for the colouring book should meet these specifications:

  • With your submission please be sure to include the following:
    • Line art image of your fursona for the "Artists" page  (everything in the book is colourable!)
    • 20 word bio. Exactly 20 words according to Google Docs. Consider it a challenge. It’s easy! I just did it!
    • Your name as you'd like it cited in the book (your email, Twitter, FA and signature may have four names... which one do you prefer!)
    • Your Snail Mail address! If you aren't going to Feral! we have to ship the book to you somehow!

We encourage artists to submit advanced colouring book* art, with repetitive elements, patterns, and loads of colouring opportunities. Here are some recommendations if you're stuck on how to do that:

  • A stained glass or mosaic style
  • Mandalay, geometric or kaleidoscopic Patterns in the background, drawn in or added after the fact
  • Abstract complexities, much like The Little Prince colouring book (left)


DEADLINE FOR ART: 
EXTENDED TO JULY 7th!!!!

CONTACT: colouringbook@campferal.org

Note: we have ensured that coloringbook@gmail.com will reach us as well! You're welcome!

*These are often called adult colouring books but to avoid confusion about the rating of the colouring book, we're using the term advanced!

Everyone who has their art included in the colouring book will receive a copy of the book and some extra Feral! surprises as well.

Since this is a Camp Feral! retrospective we want the art to reflect Camp Feral!, so generic summer camp, outdoor or furry art will likely not be put into the book. This is why we ask that all artists contact us before starting. Attendance at Feral! isn't a pre-requisite for submission at all! We just want to make sure the book is about Feral!
