BUFFALO, N.Y. (WKBW) — The Predmore Creations launched their fourth coloring book, "Let's Go Buffalo" highlighting many familiar hometown favorites, from food items to sports icons to architectural landmarks.
Dan Predmore is the artist and author of the books.
He tells 7 News reporter Yoselin Person he has always been passionate about launching his coloring books since he was a child.
"I would have a collection for several years of my drawings, and I decided to out them together in a book," he says. "love the idea of kids coloring even adults. It's inspiring for me to see somebody else coloring these drawings that I have done."
Many can find the coloring book at several local stores, including the Totally Buffalo Store in both locations, The BFLO Gallery & Gift, Everything Elmwood, The Buffalo Gift Emporium, The Buffalo News Store, Magpie Gifts, Ed Young's Hardware & Bay 6 Clothing Company.
Predmore says his first coloring book was published five years ago, and his most recent "Let's Go Buffalo" was released last month.
"I worked on it every day with my wife for several months, and it seemed like it was never going to end," Predmore says. "And finally, it was finished it went to the printer, and then I've been selling them ever since."
