Discover … Coloring Book Corruptions

6 June 20188 September 2015

Do you know what is Coloring Book Corruption ?

I recently discovered that one of the most frequently searched terms around coloring was “coloring corruptions” … An exemple and you will undestrand what is it …

Example of coloring book corruption, with Pumbaa and Timon

When funny, dark and humorous adults garble, corrupt, pervert coloring pages full of childhood characters, it often revolves around themes such as violence … ! Not surprising.

By searching on Google, you will easily find images made by amazing artists with freaky colored illustrations …

A coloring of the new Star Wars robot BB8 !

24 May 20167 September 2015

Here is a coloring of BB8 (BB-8), a new robot that will be appearing in Star Wars Episode 7, The Force awakens, to help the famous R2D2 and C3PO.

I made this drawing of BB8 half with computer (Photoshop) and half by drawing, from a promo picture. Here are pictures of the “making of” :

So it is not an official Disney / Lucasfilm coloring, but an original work (so not necessarily perfect, thank you for your indulgence :)).

Until the release of this highly anticipated film,you can color this cute robot droid all round in two versions, avaiable on www.coloring-for-kids.net and www.justcolor.net :

Do you know that this robot really works ? Indeed BB-8 is not a virtual character as the quickly forgotten Jar Jar Binks.

Director of Star Wars The Force awekens JJ Abrams insisted that this robot was made of flesh and blood (rather metal and bolts) for several scenes of the film.

It’s inspired by this magnificient oil painting by Paul Cezanne, painted in 1886 and exposed at the Brooklyn museum in New York. It reprensents a French village named Gardanne (in Provence-Alpes-Côte d’Azur)

20 years ago, I did a watercolor inspired by this masterpiece, that I had accidentally discovered in a library :

“Coloring for Grown-ups: The Adult Activity Book” by Ryan Hunter & Taige Jensen

24 May 20163 July 2015

“Coloring for Grown-ups: The Adult Activity Book” by Ryan Hunter & Taige Jensen is for sure the most original coloring book for adults ….

Very far from the typical coloring books (Zen, Anti-stress, animals, flowers …) these drawing represent some situations of the REAL life.

The topics that you could find in the works of Ryan Hunter & Taige Jensen are : unemployment, sexual problemes, extremism, dependencies, etc … Very funny isn’t it ?
But it’s up to you to chose the colors … if you think the situation is funny or sad …

You will even color “magical coloring pages”, like in the example below :

It’s also a very good and original gift idea ! For adults for sure… Or people who enter in the adult age, to prepare themseleves to all the “joys” they will certain find in their future years !

In a HuffingtonPost article, authors says :

“It’s the type of coloring book you might leave on a coffee table for a hungover house guest to flip through after waking up from a night of questionable decision-making. You might scribble in it during your woefully short lunch break, or tear out a page and leave it as a surprise on the refrigerator of your least-hated friend. It’s for entertaining yourself while you wait for an overpaid medical professional to administer your basic human right to health care, or for distracting yourself within the confines of even the filthiest public restroom.”

You can find this book and others on Amazon, and other bookstores …

If you want to understand why they have imagine this book, look at this video …
