It is my honor to finally announce the launch of COLORS, a charity artbook. It's taken year to organize it and get it finally to production, but it was worth it - it's beautiful, it's wonderful, and it's going towards a good cause. Many of us put our hearts into this.

This book features 70+ artists from around the world, each expressing themselves in a unique way in the theme of COLOR. The book forms a rainbow of hard work, love, caring, and awesomeness.

Please spread the world, and order a copy! I cannot tell you how excited I am about this!! A huge thank you to EVERYONE who participated and especially fawn for helping me with the production and printing and oh my god everyone you are just wonderful. Lets make it rock!

The book is about 114 pages, full color, featuring a vast array of art. Artists include:

Just a bit, he might react weird, not to the content but to MY reaction. I'm really excited because there are so many amazing artists. He's just a cheap Asian father who wants the best for his kids; what can you do. *shrugs*

My dads really Asian about buying things from sites he doesn't know about. I really want this book though, any idea what I can tell him if something happens to the order? He's very: "See? Look what happened. They didn't send it to you!" and he won't buy things from there ever again. D: If it comes in he'll be ok about it but he basically nags me if they don't come in. He said he'll definately get the book for me, but I just wanted to get some info before that happens so that he won't do anything rash.

AHHa its ok, my mom used to be that way. It's not a store though, it's just me pretty much, so if anything happens you can talk to me directly (through the colors email on the website). I'll be handling all of the orders, shipping them all out, etc etc; it's a one-person job (sob). And if anything happens to any orders ( lost in the mail, gets ruined, damaged, etc), I do have some set aside to cover for those accidents. Rest assured that there is a human processing these orders, not a machine or a huge company! I hope that helps. If you need anything else let me know~

Alright. I already know these things, it's just that my dad doesn't. If he buys things, they must be off a big store/site. As in: American Eagle or Macy or Target. Things like that. He understands that the Colors Charity Artbook is a single (Group. I told him group, damn myself.) person with the collaboration of many artists.

I understand how hard it must be to have to do everything yourself (The shipping and all) and I know how much nagging there will be if my order doesn't come in and my dad decides that he wants to talk to someone about the problem.

As long as the book gets to me, I think there won't be a problem. (On the inside, I'm very excited. He'll be putting the order through sometime this coming week I believe, my heart just skips everytime I think of a nice new book coming in the mail. This will mark the first time I've recieved anything from dA artists, I'm actually quite nervous; shocking considering I haven't even placed the order and it's two months away...!) Pokemon AND an artbook woohoooo!

aww! <3
well I hope it you love it when you get it. And thank you for your interest, because it IS for charity <3
I'll probably be mailing them in the order that I get them, in groups of about 50-60; if you order within the next week or so, you'll probably be in the 4th batch. So right after they come out and start to ship it might be a few more days/up to a week longer that you'll receive yours. If its too big of a problem, shoot me an email over at the colors gmail account and I can make arrangements to make sure yours goes out on the first shipment.

as a first time purchase off of da, you're getting a TON for your money! SO many great artists in this, im so honored. Tell your dad if he has any issues he can always contact me personally (via the email)~ Im friendly!

YES POKEMON!

Oh I see. The ship out date on the site states that it'll be sent March 14 (I'm forgetting at the moment). Ergo(Great now AA has gotten me), the first batch is sent that day. If I land in the fourth batch mine will be sent 4 days from that day, so the 18?

Thank you so much for taking the time to answer me, I was afraid I would get a very basic, generic answer because it is just one person handling all of this.

pokemon indeed. I wish my Wifi wouldn't break in my house, I could trad/battle loads of people.

no, there was no specific date for March, it just said "shipping March"~ Because we don't know exactly when they're going to come in.

I won't be able to send them all out at once, it'll probably take me a week or so (theres already about 200 orders), so I can't give an exact date of when it'll actually ship, but I will try to get them all out within that first week. Like it said, if it's a big problem let me know so I can write it down that yours needs to go out ASAP.

No problem! I try to address everyone individually; so far there really hasn't been a generic answer for any generic question.

Ooh, thanks for clearing that up! My dad will be glad to know about these new specs. Thanks a ton! I don't think I have to be the first, it isn't exactly fair to anyone who ordered before me.

I'll fend off my dad with a chair and whip until the mailman comes by...!!!

***Expect me to post pics when it does get to me though.

I'm hoping to find enough money for this soon, since I'm trying to get myself a wacom tablet at the same time, ek. It's such an amazing collaboration, and for such a good cause too. Hope I'll get a copy. >.<
