Funny Coloring Books for Adults

April 3, 2021 By Addicted Colorist Leave a Comment

Adult Coloring Books first became popular when psychologists found that coloring was a way for people to get out of their own heads and relax. They became very popular about 3 years ago and although the mega craze has subsided a bit, there are still lots of coloring book addicts like me enjoying the hobby. Funny coloring books also help with relieving stress as laughing, chuckling and smiling also have amazing health benefits.

Funny Books For Guys & Gals

Introverts Unite To Color – But Separately and in Your Own Homes

This book is perfect for that Introvert on your gift list or for yourself if you’d rather play with others, alone… and in your own home. I gifted this to my daughter who has to be with people all day for her job so when she’s not at work she really needs her alone time. So many perfect sayings in this book for you to color in while you are hanging out with your favorite person in the world. I posted a flip through video on my Instagram & Youtube channels.

a few coloring projects including some that are extremely intricate

“I bought this activity book for my son to gift to one of his college buddies, a fellow who loves his beer and also likes to doodle. Since the pages of the book are somewhat heavy-weight, markers can be used and shouldn’t bleed through.”

March 1, 2021 By Addicted Colorist Leave a Comment

If nothing else, the current political climate has energized a new generation of women in the United States to become politically aware and active.

Hanna Karlzon’s Beautiful Swedish Coloring Books

February 12, 2021 By Addicted Colorist 3 Comments

Hanna Karlzon has done it again!

Hanna Karlzon lives in Umeå, Sweden where she enjoys the nature and wildlife that surrounds her as you can see from her coloring book subject matter. Each of her books is printed as a real hardbacked book with glorious paper to color on. Each page is two-sided so do take care with your coloring mediums but the paper can handle quite a bit of layering and even careful watercolor application.

Tales from the Forest Kingdom Coloring Book

This book’s original title in Sweden is Skogsriket. In Hanna Karlzon’s newest coloring book, you are invited to a magical kingdom in a forest full of elaborate flowers and trees and whimsical animals and their abodes.

This gorgeous book will be in her signature size and printing style, a hardbound “keep forever” type of coloring book we just don’t find in the US. Hanna shares that the inspiration for Jewelry Box aka Smyckeskrinet is an old Edwardian house and its garden. Hanna’s one of a kind style put to subjects of people, animals, flowers, clocks, and vases reminiscent of the turn of the century. We can’t wait to get our hands on it, as always, we might have to snag the Swedish version as well. This gorgeous Swedish Coloring Book launches August 21, 2018 in the US.

Postcards have been hugely popular for creativity & staying in touch with loved ones.

Johanna has all four of her coloring books available in the postcard size. I find the best supplies to use on Johanna’s cards are the Staedtler Fine Liners or Gel Pens. Her detail is so delicate that it may be hard to get into the tiny spaces with your colored pencils. Markers and Gel Pens are easier for on the go coloring anyway as you don’t have to carry a sharpener and eraser.

Hilarious reviews on this one!

“This was the wrong gift for my mom. IT was also the wrong gift for my 8-year-old cousin. It was absolutely the right gift for the guy with night vision goggles across the street. He no longer spies. Great success!” and another “Be prepared for a very kinky book! Various fetishes and if you are not open-minded this book is not for you. It is very naughty! (Nothing wrong with naughty!)
You will need a lot of skin tone and pink pencils & Skin tone markers folks! This book should be rated X! Such an entertaining book, this is truly an adult coloring book.”

Fat Ladies in Spaaaaace: a body-positive coloring book

Amazon reviewer Professor Mom say ” I love, love, love this coloring book. It’s fun, funny, and so respectful of women of all shapes and sizes. It might be just a wee bit mature for some kids (it refers to seducing alien women in one of the captions, has a bit of cleavage in some of the drawings and obliquely acknowledges the fact that folks might not be straight) but any child with cool parents could handle it and any adult who believes in celebrating body diversity and likes sci-fi/fantasy will love it.

The paper quality is very nice. The cover is sturdy and the drawings are clear, crisp and simple enough to make for fun coloring. This would be a great gift to give a friend who might need an antidote to the pervasive societal messages that fat folks can’t do amazing things.
