My condolences to sunmeadow's family and friends. For me she was more than just a name beside some of the best templates and palettes. I considered sunmeadow a great friend here on CL, and I'm extremely sorry to hear of her passing. We provided each other laughter, and she was always a joy to colour with. I will miss her dearly.

Our yellow First Nations friend pictured above appears to be made from butter, but is actually a wooden sculpture that sits on Mount McKay overlooking Thunder Bay, Canada. This was my hometown, but I never saw the sculpture until returning for a visit some 15 years after leaving. Who visits the tourist sites in their own hometown? The point is that sometimes we don't always see the beauty around us, but it's there. Trust me :)

Regretfully, I didn't note the artist's name, but the inscription at the base of the sculpture reads "IN HONOUR OF OUR OJIBWA ELDERS"

A palette for the wonderful 900 people that decided to follow me. Never mind 900, I find it hard to believe that even 9 people have an interest in my colouring....I guess those promises of cheese & crackers really worked!

Call me Dave, or David, or Hey You if you don't like huege :) I will also answer to:

Smirkmeister
Knuckles
Get off my sister!
Lunch is ready!
Beer me!
They're real and they're spectacular
Ohh that's good...just a little faster!
I am your humble servant, my colouring overload
That thong is too small for you
I'm sorry, we aren't hiring right now
Put that thing away!

I was an engineer in a toothpaste factory for nearly 13 years. Yes, you've heard of the brand. The factory closed Jan 2012. Now my job search, new job or reschooling or traveling, or whatever it is that I decide to do, takes precedence over CL, so I may not be here as often as I have been lately. Or I might be here even more often.

I rarely have time to respond to each of you individually, but I really appreciate any loves, faves, comments, follows and it's awesome when someone uses or colours something of mine. Please use and abuse my colours, templates, palettes, ideas...it's all good!!

Here are some gifts I've received (I love gifts):

khoose makes her home base in California, but she actually spends most of her time on tour with the Zagreb Boy's Choir, booking accommodation, arranging meals, and finding adapters for their xBoxes. Thank you Karen for the gifts :)


Wordofmouse is an author now. She wrote all the Star Wars novels using her ghost writer alias of course, but it's a little known fact that she actually based the Bobo Fett bounty hunter character on herself. Word was, by far, the best bounty hunter in Cairo, but got out of the biz with the advent of the taser, claiming "if I don't need deadly force to bring down a fugitive, I don't want any part of it." Thank you for the lovely gifts, Word :)


When Liebling colours, people read! It's not that she isn't a great colourer, she is, but she is a poet first, colourer second, friend to the downtrodden third, Star Trek geek third-and-a-half, car thief fourth and lastly... a wonderful mother to her charming 8 kids. Thank you Liebling :)

Just don't let her "borrow" your car!

If any of you happen to travel to The White Lion pub in Heptonstall in Yorkshire, England, and you see a girl sitting in the corner who keeps ordering martinis.....this is from her. She never acquired the taste for beer, but she can spit an olive pit clear down to Hebden Bridge. Thank you Sharon :)


This wonderful colour is from fashion designer and all around trend setter earlgrey. She dreams of installing Christmas lights on underwater shipwreaks around the world, and using electric eels as the power source. Thank you Ola :)


These two are from my next door neighbour. She was upset that I threw dog pooh in her yard. I keep telling her it's good for the lawn, but for some reason she doesn't like it. I've since agreed not to throw any during her outdoor parties. Thank you kalindy :)


When this lover heard about B4C (the charity I founded) she made these for me. B4C is a not-for-profit NGO that buys buses for senior citizens so they can get to their nearest casino without having to drive. I founded this organization because I know one day I too will retire and dammit, no way am I driving to the casino! Thank you o_oh :)


This one is from a rat-controlled robot, stealing wi-fi and living in a van parked outside the Seiyu store in Sendai Japan. Thank you Anna :)


Look very carefully...I did NOT name this colour!!! It's from deepest darkest Antarctica, dreamed up by the girl with three nostrils and a knack for one-handed baking. Thank you Nik :) Note: don't ask what she does with her other hand!


Thank you for this Agathe :) You've coloured this template 11 times. I might start charging you each time you use it :D

Agathe is trying to join MENSA, so lets give her all the support she needs!


A link to other gifts and things made for me, with me, or by me. I tried to put everything in here that I considered a gift, but I'm certain I missed a few things. If you did make me a gift and it's not on my page or in here, please remind me, and please accept my apology for the omission.

Here are the one lover palettes I've made. About 230 so far. Some are actually nice too!

A couple recent templates of mine :)


My favourite use of one of my palettes:


Here's a few of my templates treated nicely by others.






WOW!! Love these!!!
