One of the most intriguing coloring book artists contributing to the market today has to be the art of Kerby Rosanes.
He is a Philippines-based illustrator who works mainly with ordinary black pens to magically illustrate his whimsical patterned and character strewn “doodle” world. These little elements are spontaneously combined to create massive compositions depicting his everyday experiences or anything that inspires him.
His first coloring book was Animorphia & Imagimorphia. then Mythomorphia. In the later books Rosanes was able to publish with better paper so personally, I am enjoying those more than the first, however, the European versions of the book seem to have the nice paper in both. Exciting news, Kerby has a new book coming out, and this time it is one-sided! For those of you that struggled with all the double-page spreads in the first three, your prayers have been answered with Fantomorphia.
Fantomorphia – Another Extreme Coloring and Search Challenge Coloring Book.
This book is like all his others, lots of cool images inside images, there are lots of skulls in this one and the designs are all one-sided. In the back of the book is the key to the search challenge portion. This book ships March 27, 2018 in the US. You can see my quick flip-through here on Instagram.
