About this title

About the Author

Certified Zentangle Teacher (CZT), coach, and speaker Brian Crimmins has taught the Zentangle (R) Method in art museums, tea houses, and in private homes. He has also exhibited and sold his own Zentangle-inspired art in galleries and at community art shows. Inspired by a concept called "Dingbatz" introduced by Zentangle (R) founders Rick Roberts and Maria Thomas in 2017, Brian started creating his own inspired Dingbatz designs, and quickly began teaching them in classes and to other CZTs at conferences. He loves to demonstrate the unique anatomy of Dingbatz with Zentangle (R), and he challenges his students to make their own.
