A Message from Vegenaut

Vegepedia is my gift to the community and also an artistic experiment. My
hope is that this book and its art will act as a creative seed that that will germinate
future works of art by many other people. It is the sixth installment in the Vegebook
series of coloring books but the first to be released free with an open-source model.
If you got this book from Amazon, you may be thinking It was cheap, but it
wasnt free!. Youre right, of course, but the price you paid on Amazon for Vegepe-
dia is the absolute minimum price allowed by the publisher, and only reflects the
costs necessary to cover printing (in other words, this book generates no profit for
me).

tration (.png), and a true type (.ttf) version of Vegefont, the esoteric script used by
denizens of Vegeworld (Vegescript translation on following page).

Welcome to Vegeworld! I cant wait to see what you create.

Greetings Citizen of Earth,

Vegepedia is a gift to the community and an artistic experi-

ment. More than a compilation of bizarre colorable illustrations,
it is a creative seed that strives to germinate future, greater
works of art by multitudes of different people. It is the sixth
installment in the Vegebook series of coloring books but the
first to be released free under an open-source model.
If you got this book from Amazon, you may be thinking It was

you paid on Amazon for Vegepedia is the absolute minimum price al-
lowed by the publisher, and only reflects the costs necessary
to cover printing (in other words, this book generates no profit
for its creator).
