Coloring in the key of indie

OMG, it's the Indie Rock Coloring Book

23085_10962057_l

They’re all rock stars

When a rockstar illustrator collaborates with a rockstar non-profit to make the Indie Rock Coloring Book we can’t help but want to grab our 64 and toast our sippy cups.

The Yellow Bird Project is a unique, and frankly quite awesome organization that brings indie musicians, charities, and artists together to produce the raddest, most philanthropic tshirts you’ve ever seen.

Now for the first time, they’ve made a coloring book. They teamed up with artist Andy J. Miller who’s been conceptually working on the project for two years.

Within the lines

The book is full of hand-illustrated drawings and activity pages (yes mazes and connect-the-dots) created in tribute to indie rock bands. There’s a maze that leads to The Shins “Young Pilgrim” and a page for drawing new hairstyles on the members of Rilo Kiley. MGMT, Bloc Party, Bon Iver, The National—the list goes on.

Profits benefit the Yellow Bird Project and the charities they support.

Your crayons are begging you. The Indie Rock Coloring Book is available from loved publisher, Chronicle Books for $9.95.
