Hi there!

I’m jules amador, an artist, entrepreneur, and, you guessed it, a coloring book enthusiast! 

Like many people, I used to love coloring when I was little. That grew and evolved into a love of doodling, and then drawing and painting, art journaling, then making quirky portraits… and really all things creative!

In 2022 I decided to start creating (and coloring in) coloring books! My first books were filled with licensed art (drawings that I paid other artists to create and allow me to use.) But then I thought, well, I’m an artist, why not start creating my own art for my coloring books?! (I know, it’s like, duh, Jules!

The thing is, I have a drawing style that is a bit different than what you see in a lot of coloring books, so I wasn’t sure if anyone would like it.

But I created my first coloring book, and it did okay! Or at least well enough that I decided to make a second book. I then started my TikTok account, and one of my videos went sort of viral! Nothing crazy, but viral enough that my second book, 444 Doodles to Color became my best-selling coloring book!

That, combined with a sweet and supportive coloring community on TikTok, helped me decide to go all in on creating coloring books!

I love coloring, and I love the coloring community! But I also really appreciate how coloring helps me relax my anxious brain. It’s been proven that coloring for adults is actually good for your mental health. And I’m here for that! 

I live in Portland, OR, with my best friend/husband and our little dog, Sam. And when I’m not coloring, you can probably catch me by the water (rivers, oceans, lakes… I’ll even take a stream or pool!), reading, watching a comfort show (hello Gilmore Girls and Parks and Recreation!), making art, or hyper-fixating on my next art/craft obsession. 

You can find my coloring books here: My Coloring Books (my Amazon Storefront).

Happy Coloring!
