“Coloring allows folks to express themselves in a creative way. It’s healthy.”

Everyone needs some time to unwind. There are even coloring book clubs popping up in every state now, so it’s not such an isolating experience.

We’re on the computers, phones and tablets all day long, sometimes you just need to escape from the screens.

I got into comics about the same time as music. By 12 years old, I had discovered my dad’s killer comic book collection filled with Silver Age books from his youth…early Spider-Man, Thor, Fantastic Four,

People are getting together specifically to color. It’s amazing.

The Hulk, Detective Comics, Action Comics, you name it. Seeing those old books got me interested in new comics, so my friends and I would hit the local comic shop every Saturday to pick up the cool titles of my generation.

I would draw my own comic book characters listening to metal. The drawing and music kind of went hand in hand.

Coloring is very relaxing for one thing. And I think adults like to unplug from technology for awhile and do something tangible with their hands.

Consciousness even in my sleep changes primary colors. The features of my face melt like a wax doll in the fire. And who can consent to see in the mirror the mere face of man?

You realize as a director that when you are cutting a film, you want to have alternatives. You need color and choices. You don’t want four takes that are identical.

Best believe that needle hurt you Best to see these true colors Than follow one of your false virtues A little secret to make you think: Why is the crazy stuff we never say, poetry in ink?

I always wanted to be more than my brown skin, when you told me I was sweet like cinnamon.

Black is not sad. Bright colours are what depress me. They’re so empty. Black is poetic. How do you imagine a poet? In a bright yellow jacket? Probably not.

Poem is a phoenix, whose wings are painted in the colors of nostalgia.

If you got a good imagination, a lot of confidence and you kind of know what you are saying, then you might be able to do it. I know a lot of colorful characters at home that would make great actors.

I am definitely a person of color.
