Paul Orich’s “In The Neighborhood” Ready to Uncover the Artist Within Readers at the 38th Annual Printers Row Lit Fest

The design and decorative art coloring book “In The Neighborhood: Coloring Book” by Paul Orich will be displayed by self-publishing and book marketing company ReadersMagnet at the 38th Annual Printers Row Lit Fest. The book fair and literary festival will take place on September 9-10, 2023, at Printers Row Park, South Loop, Chicago, Illinois.

In the Neighborhood is a captivating calendar that unveils a unique artistic endeavor that captures the essence of everyday life with a creative twist. The calendar’s drawings offer a glimpse into the artist’s intimate connection with his surroundings as he strolled through his neighborhood.

Originally conceived as quick sketches on graph paper, these illustrations were later meticulously refined at Orich’s desk, ensuring every detail came to life. The cover itself, adorned with vibrant colored pencils, hints at the visual feast awaiting inside.

Readers embrace their inner artist and bring these illustrations to life using their preferred medium, whether it’s pencils, pens, watercolors, crayons, or even collages. The possibilities are as boundless as the imagination, allowing readers to infuse their unique perspectives into each page.

Flexibility is at the heart of this calendar’s concept. Whether deciding to complete all the coloring at once or embark on a monthly creative journey, the choice is for the readers to make.

Paul Orich extends an invitation to experience In the Neighborhood not just as a passive observer but as an active participant. As readers engage with the calendar’s pages, they will continue the narrative that he so skillfully initiated. It’s a testament to the power of art to bring people together and create shared experiences.
