Are you familiar with Kickstarter? If you self-publish, use Kickstarter to get the funding! The most successful Kickstarter projects I've seen offer nice goodies to people who back the projects. Prints of your beautiful art would be the perfect incentive to raise people's pledges.

Yes, people really DO use it. I know people who've gotte their projects off the ground with Kickstarter, and my boyfriend recently backed this project on Kickstarter, and we're looking forward to getting our signed copy soon.

Good luck!

They would make a darling coloring book. I wish I knew more about getting published. I do think you're very talented and I love your work.

This is a fantastic idea! Unfortunately I have NO idea how you should go about getting it published – good luck though!

Depending on how many pages, magcloud.com may be an option for self-publishing. There's also lulu.com and publishing directly through Amazon's CreateSpace, which have relative plus-es and minus-es, depending. For a book that will have color covers and a black/white interior, and just a few pages, though — magcloud would probably be the lowest price per unit *and* gives you a digital option.

Better, they're print-on-demand, so there's no upfront costs for you. They just take the publishing expenses out when someone orders. Plus, they handle all the shipping, which is a huge, huge boon.

Hope that at least helps you get started!

Hmm, publishing is hard, but I LOVE your idea. As a writer, I didn't know where to begin, and in the end, I published my poetry anthology through createspace.com. It's affiliated with Amazon, and can be totally free depending on what options you choose. You can then sell on amazon, amazon europe, barnes and noble, etc. Because I was print only, I don't know much about publishing a colouring book type document. I'm sure there are options there for a publication like yours, so it might be a place to check out if you find that self-publishing is the route you want to go. it was really easy to use too for a person *coughmecough* who knows zero about computers other than the internet! Best wishes!!
