In 2022, I was substantially cured of life-long colorblindness and I started this book to explain how profound that has been for my Art and Awe. By providing you a color-thrilling experience that shares a hint of what the breakthrough felt like, I intend to give new appreciation for old eyes. Never forget how amazing your life is, to be seeing full color! Zounds!

The true goal of this campaign is to get to YOU a copy of my upcoming book ARTING WITH GOD and because I want to share the fun I’ve had through years of Arting with GOD in peaceful solitude in the forested mountains of Idyllwild, every donor—including the giver of the generous and helpful $5 minimum—receives the mini edition.

Every $20 gift receives a physical copy of the finished book. More reward levels are listed below. The miniature edition is available and will be shipped now!

You’re helping me publish and distribute my illustrated book ARTING WITH GOD. In it, I celebrate creativity as a way to commune with GOD.

Your support will increase the quality of publication because it allows a larger print run. Higher quantities bring down print cost per unit.  When I’m a zillionaire, I’ll give these all for free, but for now I need your help!

I’ve published souvenir coloring books for Idyllwild and Palm Springs, California and the printers who put my books together create a quality product that matches anything found in a bookstore. ARTING WITH GOD will have a barcode and isbn. It will be sold online and in stores near me. I’ll seek to have it distributed into stores nationwide and your generosity will allow many copies to be given freely to inspire people to stay curious about how Arting with GOD is one of life’s most fulfilling experiences.

The book will be 60-80 pages of colorful art and soul-giddying text.

If self-published, the complete first edition will be available in 2026. I will be seeking a publisher this year and if ARTING WITH GOD is picked up that could change deadlines, but current plan is to market it through my little self-publishing company Idyll Cabin Press.

Thank you for helping me create this book.

My regifting amount to GiveSendGo is set at 5% and I am also excited to browse campaigns I can toss a few bucks to.
