Weekly Penguin 893

Another relatively new book in my penguin library – Penguin Coloring for Adults by Creative Coloring Press. It is exactly what it says; one of the less-childish colouring books for adults. These used to be all the craze at one point and I still know a couple of folks who use them to doodle away whilst doing thinking work.

I haven't coloured my copy of the book. Though this isn't my thing I have to admit, this might've been really darn useful in 2010s when I was working on both TAGAP 2 and TAGAP 3. Both of the games had stained glass art in them – the Tuxology church and the whole Department of Faith respectively. I'm pretty sure designing the stained glass windows would've been a lot easier if I had something like this to mess around with whilst ideating them.

It is also worth pointing out that this was released in 2017. Though the artists aren't mentioned anywhere sadly, these are done by real people. This publisher isn't doing it – in fact I think they're no longer in business – but I have seen several AI generated colouring books already. That's such a bummer. But yeah, this isn't that and anything else from pre-2021 isn't either.
