Hi! I'm Cricky, an illustrator, graphic designer, and now.....world traveler and coloring book illustrator! My partner, Deborah, and I exchanged the 9-5 grind for a life of personal freedom way back in September of 2012 and we've been moving slowly about the planet ever since. We survive by doing freelance work (i.e. playing music gigs, teaching yoga, doing odd jobs, house sitting, pet sitting, and doing various art gigs) and living within a very modest budget. It's not always easy, but it's certainly worth it to be able to live like the locals in some very interesting places. 

Since we started traveling and seeing the world from this new, independent perspective, we have yearned to find unique ways to share our experiences in this beautiful world with friends and strangers alike...I mean, who doesn't love to see the world?

I hit upon the idea to illustrate coloring books based on the places we've been, the cultures we've experienced, and sights we've seen because, unlike photography (which we love and thoroughly respect), coloring books allow our audience to actively participate in creating artistic works....you give life to the framework we create!

 There's much more to come, but for now, you can buy our A Traveler's Coloring Book series on Amazon and in our Crickmonster Etsy shop. Learn more about us and pick up free coloring pages on our Crickmonster Facebook Page.
