Brooklyn-based visual artist Bryon Summers released “The Hicons Coloring Book” in celebration of the lauded pot lover’s holiday, 4/20. Under his latest brand Hicons, derived from the combination of two words, “high” and “icon”, Summers’ mission is to introduce “nostalgic images symbolizing ‘green’ euphoria and childhood imagination…”
As a way to pass time, Summers created “The Hicons Coloring Book” to slam the idea that coloring books, or even cartoons, are for children only—asking, how they could possibly be limited to children if they’re created by adults. Rolling papers sold separately, participants in 4/20 can take on the Hicon title by tapping into their inner kid, coloring sketches of paper planes, hot air balloons, and other imagery from Summers’ imagination and make it their own.
Sold at just $4.20 a pop, Summers’ compilation of sketches for ‘The Hicons Coloring Book’ are drawn for adult buyers. In an effort to bring awareness to HighArt, Summers expresses there is no need to take flight in order to put wax to paper. Buyers and potential Hicons can take advantage of this novelty by heading over to TheHicons.com
