Drawing is a foolproof way to keep the young’uns busy and pass a couple of hours. Trying to convince them to avoid using colour may prove a little difficult, but tell them that an Irish artist will bring it to life for them and they’re sure to concede.
A well-known mural painter and illustrator on the Dublin art scene, Kevin Bohan has started a new project that sees him colour in kids’ black and white drawings. Part of his ‘Isolation Illustrations’ series, the idea is for parents to get their kids to draw a black and white line drawing, scan it and email it to Kevin – which he’ll then turn into a high-res colour version and email right back to you free of charge.
Posting about the ‘Kids Kollabs’ on his Instagram page, Kevin wrote:
“Parents are your cooped-up kids driving you crazy?
Get them to sit quietly with a pen or pencil and some paper and draw a B&W line drawing, scan it and send to me ([email protected] or PM me) and we will do a digital collaboration together! FOR FREE!!! I will email you a high-resolution A4 file to print at home.”
