Late again

Tonight I watched the UEFA Cup Final on tv (won by Zenit Saint Petersburg). So there was little time left to create my new coloring page. I started it, digitalized it and started cleaning the file, but my eyelids are getting very heavy now. So, I decided to go to bed instead .

Feels like the only right thing, right now. Tomorrow I will finish this one. Looking great so far, so don’t hesitate to come back tomorrow!

I’m late!

As you might know, I publish 2 fresh coloring pages a week. Every Monday & Thursday around noon (Dutch time) a new picture is published online at www.LetMeColor.com. But last Thursday something unusual happened. I missed my deadline…

The night before, I finished the coloring page itself, but was too tired to write the posting. So I decided that I could do that in 5 spare minutes during work, the next day. But that day I was so busy, that I forgot all about it. In the evening I remembered it again and finished the Free Kids on a Swing Coloring Page. And I promised myself that I would never miss a deadline ever again…

The weekend came and it was great. The weather was superb, and we couldn’t resist a few trips on our brandnew bikes. We worked in the garden, played with our kids, my dad paid us a visit and there was nothing to worry about. Really? Nothing?  On Sunday night I still had to search a great picture I could use as an example for the coloring page. Hmmmm.

I worked until I could’t keep my eyes open. But the coloring page wasn’t ready when I finally found my bed.

I admit, I started this one too late. And yes, I didn’t expect to break my promise so soon. And no, I will not ever make a promise again (really, I’ll promise)!

Tonight I finished the coloring page I wanted to publish 9 hours earlier. Perhaps too late, but hey, I think it’s a great coloring picture (at least for most boys). It is a wheel loader (or payloader); some heavy equipment that is irresistible to many boys. My son will love it, I’m sure. And that’s what counts, isn’t it? Check it out at http://www.letmecolor.com/2008/04/28/free-heavy-construction-equipment-wheel-loader-coloring-page

I hope the next one is on time. But hey, I just can’t promise…

Tribute to Keith Haring’s 50th Birthday (May 4, 2008)

Just a humble little tribute to a great artist. I loved Keith Haring’s work from the minute I saw it for the first time, somewhere in the mid-eighties. I’ve always liked it’s simplicity and strength. May 4, 2008 would have been his 50th birthday.

I created the image above at Haringkids.com. You can make your own Keith Haring drawing and color it online at this web site.

“Haring’s imagery has become a universally recognized visual language of the 20th century. The Keith Haring Foundation, established in 1989, continues Keith’s legacy of giving to children’s organizations.” Source: Wikipedia

Edupics.com allowed to use some LetMeColor.com coloring pages

About two weeks ago I received an email from Edupics.com webmaster Mike complimenting me with my work. He told me he was looking for some realistic coloring pages, just like mine, to publish on his websites. He asked me under what conditions this might be possible.

The following couple of days we sent some emails back and forth and we agreed upon the conditions. I allowed him to publish 7 coloring pictures* on his websites. In return, he’d put links to my website on

1. his homepage;
2. next to every category;
3. on his linkpage; and of course
4. on every page where my coloring sheets would be published.

Since he gets (a lot) more visitors than me, I expect a significant increase of the amount of visitors to my web site. Not only directly from his web site, but also as a result of an improved ranking in the (Google) organic search results.

IF YOU ARE A WEBMASTER, AND IF YOU ALSO WOULD LIKE TO USE MY COLORING PAGES, PLEASE SEND AN EMAIL TO FDEKLEINE [at] GMAIL [dot] COM.

* The 7 coloring pictures are:

1. Boxing coloring page;
2. Airplane coloring page (biplane);
3. Statue of Liberty coloring sheet;
4. Valentino Rossi MotoGP coloring page;
5. Saxophone coloring page;
6. Sunflowers coloring page, and;
7. Free Violin Coloring Page.

The search box dictates

Recently I noticed that several people searched for ‘Dodge Viper’ coloring pages at LetMeColor.com. So I decided to give them what they were looking for. I found a good photo I could use and started doing my thing. A couple of hours later it was ready and now it is online available.

So, if you can’t find what you are looking for, please try the LetMeColor.com searchbox. And if you still can’t find it then, try it again some time later. You’ll never know if it dictated me again…

Educational Coloring Page

Angela O, moderator of the official Valentino Rossi fanclub forum, wrote about my Rossi coloring page: ‘My son found this when searching to do his homework (…)’. I wonder what the assignment was, but I’m happy I could contribute to someones education.
