In February 2016 the Kickstarter campaign for a Viking themed coloring book ended more than $3,000 over its original goal. Work began on the scenes that became the 75 illustration plates slightly before the end of the campaign. The first volume of The Viking Coloring Book was published by the Arizona Center for Medieval and Renaissance Studies in July, 2017.
The Binding of Fenrir is one of the scenes that will be in the new book
Since then interest in the topic has grown even more with museums reaching out to include the early medieval themed coloring book in their shops. The Viking Coloring Book Pop-up Gallery has made appearances at several medieval conferences, bringing paintings, prints and coloring books into book room displays. These events have allowed people of all ages to get more directly involved in exploring the medieval past.
