Volume I - Back Cover
And here you thought we were all done…
We couldn’t really just leave. We have something left to say. This project is incredibly rewarding for us. What started as an idea has provided us with a wonderful distraction of art. We have been incredibly lucky to have contributions by artists from around the world. Incredible humans. We thank them all greatly.
Beyond that, we have had so much fun watching what the world does once these coloring pages are released. The artists that we do not know. You are all amazing.
Reading the comments that you guys all have to leave is another unexpected result. To know that this idea has also provided a daily artistic adventure for some in these difficult times is more than enough reason for us to move to Volume II. So we shall. Give us a week to pull it together and we will be back.
Lastly, to all of the Front-line and Essential workers, as well as everyone else that has put their lives on the line to help fight Coronavirus/Covid-19:
This piece is for you. Without you, the world would be incredibly dark. Thank you.

Volume I - Page XXX
Artist: Gerard Way
So here we are. The last page for Volume I. Gerard Way. There simply aren’t words. Gerard has advocated on behalf of art, in every form, every day for as long as we can recall. He is an incredible father & husband. He is everything one would ever ask for in a friend. He is unforgiving, in the best way, in his pursuit of creating. He is one of the best storytellers we will ever have the pleasure of knowing.
This piece, “Pink Station Zero”, is a character study he did for a comic that may come to life one day. It is an idea that he loves and that is very dear to him. This makes it even more special for him to share it with #tqcb first. Enjoy!!
Thank you, Gerard!

Volume I - Page XXIX
Artist: Jimmy Breen
Jimmy Breen is a designer and artist who resides in Florida. There isn’t much he hasn’t done. Band art? Check. Murals? Check. Designing his own brushes for Procreate? Check. This piece is stunning and fascinating to us. Have fun with this one. We will have fun watching what you do with it. Seize the night!
Thank you, Jimmy!

Volume I - Page XXVI
Artist: Gabriel Ba
We don’t really have the words to write for Gabriel. The affinity for his work is without compare. The respect we have for him as a human and as an artist is at at level that is, in the best possible way, overwhelming. When he submitted this piece from his vault, we were extremely pleased. We know that this will make a fantastic coloring page and we are excited to see what all of you do with it.
Thank you, Gabriel.

Volume I - Page XXV
Artist: Jon Rivera
For those of us that know Jon, we are lucky. Jon is hilarious. He is also an extremely talented writer and one of our favorite collaborators. When he sent this piece in, aptly titled “Essentials”, our collective response was “That’s about right.” There are very few that we would understand quite like Jon.
Jon, thank you for your friendship and levity.

Volume I - Page XXIV
Artist: Wes Borland
Wes Borland is a true artist. Album covers. Paintings. Performance art. Music. Those are a small sampling of the artistic worlds that collide in Wes’s head. The results are always fascinating and this piece is a direct reflection of that. We love it.
Thank you, Wes.

Volume I - Page XXIII
Artist: Frank Iero
Friday. We have certainly had a hard time keeping this one from you. It is absolutely incredible. Frank is our best friend. He is a phenomenal father and husband. He is relentless in his work to push art and artists into the forefront of the world’s mind in music, words, performance, and most any other form of art. And he has always been this way. He has never wavered and we do not think he ever will.
Now and always we love you, Frank. Thank you for this magnificent piece of art.

Volume I - Page XXII
Artist: Alan Brown
Alan Brown is an illustrator and comics creator working out of Philadelphia, PA. He is brilliant. We love this piece & think it will be amazing to see what you guys do with the color on it. We also love the cover art he did for the Mastodon “Emperor of Sand” album. Because it’s amazing.
Thanks, Alan!
Wednesday April 29, 2020
Volume I - Page XXI
Artist: Matt Erny
Matt has been a pillar of design and illustration in our lives for a very long time. Our appreciation for him runs very deep. He has almost certainly designed more than one thing that you have seen, you would just never know because credit and attribution is not his thing. He simply loves designing and making fun art. Which is exactly what we have here. A fun and relatable piece that made us smile.
Matt, you are an amazing person. Thank you.
Tuesday April 28, 2020

Father. Husband. Protector. Friend. That is who we are proud to collaborate with today. Worm has been a pillar of strength and absolute joy in our lives for quite some time now.

Artist: Emma Ruth Rundle
Art is amazing. Emma Ruth Rundle is an an amazing artist. With a voice as incredibly haunting as today’s contribution, we feel incredibly fortunate to have her involved in our little project. She also gets extra credit on this assignment for helping us to check in with ourselves in this piece.

Saturday April 25, 2020
Volume I - Page XVII
Artist: Lisen Haglund
Lisen Haglund is a prolific Swedish artist that has carved her own path under the sun. The way her mind works is, in our humble opinion, entirely brilliant. Her art represents the cross-section of everything that this book and these pages are meant to convey and we could not be more pleased with this page. A line from her book description reads, “Be yourself, the others can go to hell.” We couldn’t agree more.
Tack, Lisen!
Friday April 24, 2020
Volume I - Page XVI
Artist: Mikey Way
Mikey Way is one of the best people on this planet. He is our friend, our bandmate, and brother. He is also an excellent sketch artist as displayed by this contribution. We are going to leave it at that as we could write a 25,000 word dissertation on our appreciation for him. Just know that there are very few people that we love the same as Mikey F'n Way.
Thank you, Mikey.
Thursday April 23, 2020
Volume I - Page XV
Artist: Jill Thompson
Jill Thompson is incredible. As a multiple Eisner Award winner, she has consistently delivered in everything she does. Make sure to check out her children’s book series “Scary Godmother”. We only wish that those books were around when we were pups. She is also the only person we know that is a legitimate Master Gardner.
Thank you so much for being part of this, Jill.
Wednesday April 22, 2020
Volume I - Page XIV
Artist: Jordan Buckley
When Jordan isn’t creating absolute musical mayhem with Every Time I Die, he is busy making seriously insane art. This piece is really incredible. Don’t worry, we don’t even know where to start coloring it either.
Thanks, Jordan.
PS- Is that new ETID record done yet???
Tuesday April 21, 2020
Volume I - Page XIII
Artist: Sara Taylor
Sara Taylor. Sara is amazing and this entire book would not exist if not for her. Her talents stretch across many fields and she is relentless in her pursuit of pushing the limitations of art with everything she does. The funny thing is, that her humanity and spirit happen to be our favorite things about her. We are better as a result of her having come up with this idea. We are better for being able to call her a true friend.
We love you, Sara!
Monday April 20, 2020
Volume I - Page XII
Artist: Casey Howard
Casey Howard is a fantastic illustrator, designer, and an all-around great person. His art always inspires us and makes us wonder just what he may be thinking while creating it. We found this piece to be very fitting for today and we hope you enjoy it.
When he isn’t working there is a high likelihood that you will catch him being an exceptional father & husband or watching baseball of some sort.
Thanks, Casey!

Volume I - Page XI
Artist: Philip Bond
Some days are just really great. Today is one of those for TQCB. Philip Bond is a true legend and an incredible human. He also happens to be a spectacular artist. Don’t believe us? Go check out the covers he did for The Exterminators books or Kill Your Boyfriend. You’ll see.
We feel very lucky to provide this image today. Not only because it is a piece by Philip, but also because it is Dr. Tork from the @hey_amateur world.
Thank you, Philip

Volume I - Page X
Artist: Sean Von Gorman
New York-based Sean Von Gorman is an illustrator that has contributed so many amazing pieces of art to this world. His unique style and diverse offerings consistently provide was with a sense of awe, a snicker, a chuckle, or sometimes just a simple moment of pause, reflection, and appreciation. Today’s Coloring Page is the latter. It brings hope at a time where hope is often elusive.
Thank you so much, Sean.

Artists: Lisa Schroer & Joy Johnson
What a treat today is. Lisa & Joy are two ridiculously talented artists + writers. They have been on the radar around here for some time, so we decided to reach out to them for some art. We are really happy that we did. This piece is remarkable and we can’t wait to see it come to life with color.
They are also very great writers. Make sure to check out the links for more info.

As part of the team at Warner Music, she has contributed to artist careers in all genres and is very passionate in what she does to help us all succeed.

Sunday April 12, 2020 - Easter Egg
Volume I - Page IV
Artist: Trent Thompson
Trent is an amazing artist from the suburbs of Detroit, MI. At his best drilling tattoos into the skin of another person, he will most likely be rambling about Star Wars or some other related geek culture topic. This is just one of the reasons we truly love him.
This is a special second piece for today. Because we can.
Thank you, Trent!
Sunday April 12, 2020
Volume I - Page III
Artist: Matt Darling
Matt Darling is a full-time art weirdo & existential soft goods merchant based out of Toronto Canada.
His work is best described as “if halloween and valentines were the same holiday” or “if Cathy (from the comic strip Cathy) listened to nothing but black celebration by depeche mode on repeat”. And that pretty much sums it up. If the words don’t, the art certainly speaks for itself.
Thank you, Matt.
We will indeed get through. Together. Apart.
Saturday April 11, 2020

He is an extremely talented, award-winning creator. This page is from his comic “X-Ray Robot” that is available now and released via Dark Horse. We feel incredibly lucky to share it today!
