About
Hello all, my name is Alexander Kramer, and I am a pen addict. (Hello, Alexander)
I listen to a podcast called The Pen Addict.
A few years ago, there was an article about Brad Dowdy, and the image was terrifyingly inspirational.
I've also wanted an excuse to play around with more <vector> graphics, and manipulating them on the web (for projects like coloring books).
Plus, I wanted to surprise them with a belated Valentine's gift (there are hearts in there!).
NOTE: This is a very barebones version of this coloring page, and I even have Easter Eggs that will be revealed with later updates. (2/22/2017)

Known Bugs
- "Print Blank" button doesn't reset all elements to white.
- Switching between palettes shows new color selected, but last-selected color is remembered.
- Clicking between palette squares disables selected color.
- After resetting the page, if you start filling without selecting a color, everything fills black. If you then use a shuffle color tool, the objects that were filled black now don't have border lines.
