For artists & coloring brands
Your art deserves to be seen.
Overcrowded marketplaces have made it harder for coloring brands to stand out. Artists creating original work are competing for attention with a flood of AI-generated books and pages.
We’re building ColorGnome to give artist-created coloring books and pages a dedicated home—and help people discover the artists behind them.
AI-free art. Credit to the artists. A community built around coloring.
Artist-created. AI-free.
We believe artists deserve recognition for their work, and colorists deserve to know what they’re buying.
ColorGnome is being built as an AI-free marketplace. Generative AI artwork will not be accepted in coloring books, pages, or digital downloads offered through the platform.
Traditional illustration and digital drawing are both welcome. Our focus is on artwork created by people, with clear credit to the artists behind it.
Give people more ways to discover your work.
A book cover only tells part of the story. We’re building tools that help colorists explore your artwork and stay connected after they choose a book.
These are plans for the platform, not tools you can use today.
Brand profiles
A dedicated home for your story, books, and links.
Book discovery
Help colorists find your books by the styles, themes, and subjects they enjoy.
Finished-page galleries
Give colorists a place to share their finished pages, linked to the correct book and credited to the person who colored them.
Optional sample pages
Let someone try a page from your book before deciding what to buy. You choose whether to offer a sample.
Digital downloads
Offer paid coloring pages and digital books in a marketplace dedicated to coloring.
Creator connectionsPlanned
Help influencers discover your work through optional exclusive pages and collaboration opportunities.
Three parts of the community. More ways to connect.
Brands and Colorists

Tutorial hub planned
We’re bringing these connections together so discovering a book can lead to inspiration, learning, and an ongoing connection with its artist.
A place your customers can keep coming back to.
The experience shouldn’t end when someone buys a book.
We’re building book-specific galleries where customers can explore color palettes, see different approaches, and share their own finished pages. Give your audience a place to find inspiration for your books—and discover what you create next.

Offering a sample is optional. Colorists can buy a book without trying a page first.
Built from a love of coloring.
I started producing coloring books in early 2020. Since then, I’ve watched AI-generated books flood marketplaces and make discovering artist-created work more difficult.
I’ve also seen how much creativity, knowledge, and support exists within the coloring community—and how scattered it can be across social groups, shops, and individual websites.
I started ColorGnome to bring those pieces together: a place that supports artists, helps colorists discover work they love, and gives the community useful tools.
