Crites’ Coloring Book

A talented artist with a thirst for music and literature, Tom Crites self-published zines and contributed to small presses for over two decades. He designed album covers and t-shirts, but also created art simply because he loved to do it, often leaving his work in public places for others to find. Throughout all of this, Tom struggled with mental health issues. In August 2013, at the age of 45, he committed suicide. The artworks collected here were produced by Tom over many years and are representative of his unique and largely unsung talent.
