"And, while Karagiorgakis doesn’t recommend supplanting sound dietary practices and regular exercise in favor of doodling with colored pencils ..."

Dangit.

Marvel reprints old comic books in their "Essential" like of trade paperbacks that are inks only which could be used as a coloring book.  The pages are a little thinner stock than standard coloring books, I think.

Just a thought for the colorists out there.

I could just see somebody taking out their WD #1, maybe getting it ready to ship to CGC. The doorbell rings, when they come back there's a kid with the book saying "Look! I colored the horsie! Do you like it?"

I visibly flinch when I see old comics with doodles on the cover.  :)

Alecia Blake Studios announces the release of Color In Fashion: A Stylish Adult Coloring Book by Alecia Blake, now available on Amazon. This book utilizes Alecia's many years of experience as a fashion illustrator by combining original, hand-drawn fashion illustrations with intricate, patterned backgrounds. Color In Fashion features 30 single-sided coloring pages, filling a niche for coloring enthusiasts and fashionistas alike. Coloring Book Addict raves: "Alecia Blake is a fashion illustrator by trade and it shows. Where some fashion coloring books merely pattern simple designs, this book is much more focused on what a fashionista would like first, then translating that idea into a coloring page."

Color In Fashion was lovingly produced with page after page of hand-drawn, intricate settings and patterns, and willowy, graceful figures.  Alecia describes the book as "a unique vision and concept, fun and creative for me to illustrate, and hopefully just as satisfying to color." With Color In Fashion, the New Jersey-based fashion illustrator and author hopes to fill a void in the adult coloring book genre: "I looked around at the other books already out there, and I knew I could add something unique to the wide array of adult coloring book choices with my book. There are very few fashion coloring books available that incorporate detailed backgrounds into the pages, and that makes my book unique."

Alecia Blake's accomplished illustration career has included work for major fashion designers, magazines and companies. Her career in fashion illustration has been featured in 201 Magazine, The Best Of Bergen. Alecia Blake attended Syracuse University School Of Art and Parsons School Of Design, where she earned a BFA in illustration. She also is the author of Chronically Me: Flushing Out My Life And Times With IBS, A Memoir In Comics written under the pen name Joy Spencer.

King Crimson are to launch their own range of colouring-in books. The KCCB comes in a 12 x 12, 40 page hardback edition, printed on ethically-sourced paper and features the artwork for every King Crimson studio release as well as an extensive selection of various live albums, including special two-page pull-out of Earthbound and Starless And Bible Black.

The idea for the KCCB came after the last tour when various members of the band took to colouring-in as a way of passing time en route between gigs. "We thought it'd be a great way for fans to enjoy the albums in a slightly different way," says Gavin Harrison, who cites Beat as his own favourite from the KCCB.

Whereas once colouring books were just for kids, in this perpetually onscreen world it’s good to be able to get away from the computer and turn to the soothing art of colouring-in.  “When choosing a colouring-in book with more complex or abstract images the convention is generally to keep different colours within different lines,” says Phil Inn, the graphic designer who has been overseeing the transformation of the original album covers for the KCCB.  “This requires a relaxed focus where the outline is containing and the mark-making repetitive and smooth. So a bit like repeating a mantra where repetition is a means to relaxation, colouring-in is also a type of mediation.”

The very first King Crimson Colouring Book is now available for pre-order via Inner Knot and Burning Shed.

Enterprise NCC-1701-D to life. Gabriel Guzmán’s art is also featured on the cover.

Fans of the show looking for a slightly less expensive kick can look forward to Titan Books’ Rick and Morty — Official Coloring Book. The book, which includes iconic scenes and characters from the show, promises fans a hyper-detailed coloring experience, ideal for mad scientists with a laboratory full of colored pencils, crayons, markers, or even watercolors if you want to take a walk on the wild side. Rick and Morty — Official Coloring Book arrives in stores in August, but EW is excited to exclusively reveal the cover of the book. Expect Meeseeks, Plumbuses, and more wonders and horrors from every known universe.
