“And I find it kind of funny
I find it kind of sad
The dreams in which I'm dying are the best I've ever had"
—Tears for Fears, Mad World

The Little Big Tex Social Distance Coloring Book & Animation Project

One way this has been playing out is in small, collaborative works between artists that do not rely on in-person contact, such as the Quarantined Artist Postcard Exchange or the USPS Art Project. But before either of these started snowballing, Dallas-based artist and a long-time friend Brian Keith Jones was flying out the gate with The Little Big Tex Social Distance Coloring Book & Animation Project.
