What happens when the internet goes down at an online entertainment company? We color!

Andrew Parnell…

brought in a Star Wars coloring book for all of us to enjoy. Like many others here at Spartz Media, Parnell went to the University of Notre Dame where in one of his innovation classes he learned that coloring at work could be beneficial to company culture. Coloring relieves stress and promotes critical thinking. Who would have thought that using crayons at work could actually improve your quality of work?

Besides using coloring as a tool to relieve stress, coloring pushes you to think outside the “box.” Although we all color inside the lines, our sites are all created by the talented people of Spartz Media who think outside of the “box.” Being creative and unique is something we are all urged to be everyday.

So when the internet was down for a bit last week we pulled out the coloring book and got to work.

Gaby went all out with this Pop Art version of Admiral Ackbar

Jose also enjoys all the wonderful colors of crayons that can be found in one box.

Mike went the challenging route and helped Ben Quadinaros through this tough maze to find his Pod

Andrew Weber did an excellent job of coloring these really big fishes. Very life like.

I went the more classic although darker route and drew Emperor Palpatine. No crayons needed.

And, Andrew Parnell, who some say might be the king of coloring, went a very true to movie route with this impeccable coloring of an angry (possibly excited) Chewbacca.

And with that I leave you with a little reminder:

Paint with all the colors of the wind!
